Consider approval of an amended Fiscal Year 2018/2019 budget for the City of Bedford Street Improvement Economic Development Corporation. Public Works Director Kenny Overstreet presented information on this item. Mr. Overstreet stated several projects were budgeted in FY 201712018 that were not completed before the end of fiscal year, leaving the 4B budget with a high fund balance of $3,680,942, and requests that the Board authorize payment for the following projects: • Bedford Court East: Reliable Paving completed the project by December 2018; however, staff is waiting for them to resolve two home-owner claims, prior to accepting the project as complete. The amount outstanding for the construction is $115,494. 74. • 2018 Concrete Contract: Reliable Paving has completed the sidewalk portion of the contract. Due to multiple weather and scheduling delays, the concrete panels and ADA ramps have not been completed yet. The remainder of the contract will not be completed until the summer, when the weather is much warmer. The amount outstanding for this project is $390,210, which is approximately $213,553.44 for work that is completed and $176,656.56 for the remainder of the project. This will give staff funds necessary to complete concrete panel replacements with the 2019 Concrete Contract, since none were replaced with the 2018 Concrete Contract. • Street Assessment: Fugro Roadware is compiling the final report for the street assessment. The amount outstanding for the contract is $47,647.50. • Pedestrian Crosswalks: Staff was unable to fund the pedestrian crosswalk project because no contractor was available at the time to install in-lane lighting nor sell the products needed for installation; however, staff requests authorization to spend the unused $120,000 in conjunction with the amount budgeted for FY 2018/2019. This will provide total funding in the amount of $240,000 for the installation of pedestrian crosswalks, where needed. • Striping and Traffic Markings: All bids for the 2018 Pavement Markings contract were rejected last year, so no paved striping occurred in FY 201712018; however, staff requests authorization to spend the unused $120,000 in conjunction with the amount budgeted for FY 2018/2019. This will provide total funding in the amount of $240,000 for the installation of striping and traffic markings. There was discussion to not fund the pedestrian crosswalks, making the total requested amount $811,742. Motioned by Director Epstein, seconded by Director Boyter to approve authorizing the unspent portions of the 4B Street Improvement Economic Development Corporation projects to be paid from fund balances. Motion passed 7-0-0. President Turner declared the motion carried. 7. Discussion on the Tarrant County 45th Community Development Block Grant. Public Works Director Kenny Overstreet presented information on this item. Mr. Overstreet stated every two years, the City of Bedford is eligible to pursue HUD funding through the Tarrant County Community Development Division for qualifying areas in the City, Census qualified areas must meet low to moderate income household criteria, and staff has determined Bedford Court East, between Hurst City Limit and Brown Trail, meets the program criteria. There is the potential to receive up to $155,000 for this project and applications are due on January 31, 2019. Mr. Overstreet stated that the project would include the removal and replacement of existing deteriorated asphalt pavement and replacing it with 6" concrete and 6" curbs on Bedford Court East, beginning at the west side of Brown Trail and to the Hurst city limit. The project also includes the removal and reconstruction of two valley gutters, one fire hydrant relocation, and adjusting sewer manholes and water valves to the new street grade. The Board approved moving this item forward for Council consideration at the January 22, 2019 regular meeting. 8. Staff report on the installation of the traffic signal at the intersection of Cheek Sparger Road and Heritage Avenue. Public Works Director Kenny Overstreet presented information on this item. Mr. Overstreet stated that in the SIEDC Fiscal Year 2018/2019 approved budget, funds were allocated for the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Cheek Sparger Road and Heritage Avenue. The project will contain street markings to support the installed traffic signal. This project will be a joint effort between Tarrant County and the cities of Colleyville, Euless, and Bedford, with each party supplying a share of the total cost of installation. Staff agreed to accept responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the traffic signal, given its proximity to the Bedford traffic signal at Rio Grande. To support this request, the City of Bedford will also maintain a portion of Cheek Sparger Road, approximately 50 feet east of Woodpark Lane to the concrete pavement, and approximately 300 feet west of Woodpark Lane to Silverwood Lane. The Board approved moving this item forward for Council consideration at the February 8, 2019 regular meeting. 9. Discussion and possible action on the removal of the barricade on Wood park Lane that closes the road to through traffic between Cummings Drive and Cheek Sparger Road. Public Works Director Kenny Overstreet presented information on this item. Mr. Overstreet stated during the planning of the Walmart store along SH 121 and Cheek Sparger Road, residents from the homes behind the site expressed concerns about increased traffic flow along Woodpark Lane. It was decided to install a barricade across the roadway where it intersects the TXU easement. There was a consensus of the Board to leave the barricade, to move forward with the interlocal agreement with plans to remove the barricade after the completion of the SH 121 construction and hold public meetings with the neighbors. 10. Discussion and possible action on pedestrian crosswalks. Public Works Director Kenny Overstreet presented information on this item. Mr. Overstreet stated that in-lane lighting is no longer being used and cities are moving to other types of crosswalk warnings. Pedestrian presence sensors are no longer recommended as blowing trash or debris can cause the warning system to activate. There was a consensus of the Board to have staff continue to research options and present recommendations to the Board at a future meeting.

DISCUSSION: Listed below are the projects and their status for Fiscal Year 2017/2018: • Bedford Court East reconstruction – The Contractor completed the punch list items in December 2018. Staff is waiting for the Contractor to resolve two resident claims prior to accepting the project. • Rankin Drive reconstruction from Forest Ridge Drive to Brook Hollow Park – Project is delayed until the construction on the drainage channel wall is completed. • Bedford Road asphalt mill and overlay from Somerset Terrace to Brown Trail – Completed May 2018. • Martin Drive asphalt mill and overlay from Cummings Drive to Cheeksparger Road – Completed May 2018. • Bobwhite Drive, Blue Jay Court, Eagle Drive, Hawk Lane, Warbler Drive and Wren Court asphalt mill and overlay – The Contractor has completed the mill and overlay, but prior to the final walk through, staff identified multiple transverse cracks that have developed. The Contractor and staff are investigating what may be causing cracks in the new asphalt. • Loma Alta Addition asphalt mill and overlay – The Contractor has completed the mill and overlay, but prior to the final walk through, staff identified multiple transverse cracks that have developed.

The Contractor and staff are investigating what may be causing cracks in the new asphalt. • Concrete panel repair/replacement at various locations – The Contractor has completed the sidewalk portion of the contract. After multiple weather and scheduling delays on this project, the concrete panels and ADA ramps have not been completed. With the winter months here, and concrete work requiring warmer weather, the remainder of the contract will not be completed. • Crack routing and sealing various locations – Project was completed in May 2018. • Sidewalk and handicap ramp repairs at various locations – The Contractor has completed the sidewalk portion of the contract. After multiple weather and scheduling delays on this project, the concrete panels and ADA ramps have not been completed. With the winter months here, and concrete work requiring warmer weather, the remainder of the contract will not be completed. • Street light rehabilitation and installation at various locations – No new street light installations occurred this fiscal year. After staff investigated all requests received, it was determined that the street light installation did not meet the required criteria. After discussing the street light upgrades with Oncor personnel, Public Works staff were informed that this is considered a maintenance item and is Oncor’s responsibility. • Striping and traffic markings at various locations – City staff received bids for this project on June 26, 2018. The majority of the bid items were for the installation of bike lanes on Cummings Drive. All bids for the project were rejected after staff determined that Tarrant County would install the new bike lanes. • Pedestrian crossing warning system installation at the 3300 block of Martin Drive, Brown Trail at Carolyn Drive and the update of the pedestrian crossing warning system in the 3400 block of Central Drive with in-lane lighting – Staff was unable to locate a contractor that installs in-lane lighting and only one vendor who still sells the products needed. This discovery was too late to be completed in the 2017/2018 fiscal year.

ATTACHMENTS: N/A PRESENTER: Kenneth Overstreet, Public Works Director DATE: 01/15/19 Staff Report ITEM: Consider approval authorizing the unspent portions of 4B Street Improvement Economic Development Corporation projects to be paid from fund balance. DISCUSSION: The following 4B Street Improvement Economic Development Corporation (SIEDC) projects were budgeted in FY 2017/2018 but were not completed before the fiscal year ended at September 30, 2018. This left the 4B SIEDC fund with a significantly high fund balance of $3,680,942 to commence the new budget cycle for FY 2018/2019. Since the City of Bedford does not typically encumber unspent budgetary funds, staff is requesting authorization to pay for the following expenditures from the 4B SIEDC fund balance: • Bedford Court East: Reliable Paving completed the project by December 2018; however, staff is waiting for them to resolve two home-owner claims, prior to accepting the project as complete. The amount outstanding for the construction is $115,494.74. • 2018 Concrete Contract: Reliable Paving has completed the sidewalk portion of the contract. After multiple weather and scheduling delays, the concrete panels and ADA ramps have not yet been completed. The remainder of the contract will not be completed until the summer, when the weather is much warmer. The amount outstanding for this project is $390,210, which is approximately $213,553.44 for work that is completed and $176,656.56 for the remainder of the project. This will give staff funds necessary to complete concrete panel replacements with the 2019 Concrete Contract since none were replaced with the 2018 Concrete Contract. • Street Assessment: Fugro Roadware is compiling the final report for the street assessment. The amount outstanding for the contract is $47,647.50. • Pedestrian Crosswalks: Staff was unable to fund the pedestrian crosswalk project because no contractor was available at the time to install in-lane lighting nor sell the products needed for installation; however, staff requests authorization to spend the unused $120,000 expenditure to be spent in conjunction with the amount budgeted for FY 2018/2019. This will provide total funding in the amount of $240,000 for the installation of pedestrian crosswalks, where needed. • Striping and Traffic Markings: All bids for the 2018 Pavement Markings contract were rejected last year, so no paved striping occurred in FY 2017/2018. However, staff requests authorization to spend the unused $120,000 expenditure in conjunction with the amount budgeted for FY 2018/2019. This would equate to total funding in the amount of $240,000 for the installation of striping and traffic markings. • In July 2018, staff estimated the cost of asphalt to be $429,500 under the Tarrant County contract for the overlays. That cost was based on the amount of asphalt needed for Harwood Road, Hospital Parkway and L. Don Dodson; however, the actual cost of materials for those three projects is $567,900, which is an increase of $138,390. Staff is also requesting authorization to cover this increase from fund balance. The total amount requested to be spent from fund balance is $931,742. Should the 4B SIEDC fund meet FY 2018/2019 budgetary expectations, plus the requested authorizations, the ending fund balance would equal $2,111,810.

DISCUSSION: Every two years, the City of Bedford is eligible to pursue HUD funding through Tarrant County Community Development Division, (TCCD) for qualifying areas. Census qualified areas must meet low to moderate income household criteria. City staff has determined that Bedford Court East, between the Hurst city limit and Brown Trail, meets the program criteria. There is the potential to receive up to $155,000 for this project. Applications are due on January 31, 2019. The project would include the removal and replacement of existing deteriorated asphalt pavement and replacing it with 6” concrete and 6” curbs on Bedford Court East, beginning at the west side of Brown Tail and at the Hurst City Limit. The project also includes the removal and reconstruction of two valley gutters, one fire hydrant relocation, and adjusting sewer manholes and water valves to the new street grade. With concurrence from the SIEDC, a public hearing would be conducted during the January 22, 2019 City Council Meeting. In order to make the application deadline, the public hearing was advertised in the Star-Telegram on December 16, 2018, and on December 7, 2018 notices were mailed to twenty- six residents within 200’ of the proposed work site. Submittal of the application will also require City Council approval during the January 22, 2019 City Council Meeting. ATTACHMENTS: N/A PRESENTER: Kenneth Overstreet, Public Works Director DATE: 01/15/19 Staff Report ITEM: Staff report on the status of the installation of the traffic signal at the intersection of Cheeksparger Road and Heritage Avenue. DISCUSSION: In the SIEDC Fiscal Year 2018/2019 approved budget, funds were allocated for the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Cheeksparger Road and Heritage Avenue. The project will also contain street markings to support the installed traffic signal. This project will be a joint effort between Tarrant County and the cities of Colleyville, Euless and Bedford with each party supplying a share of the total cost of installation. Staff has agreed to accept responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the traffic signal. This makes sense given its proximity to the Bedford traffic signal at Rio Grande. To support this request, the City of Bedford will also maintain a portion of Cheeksparger Road, approximately 50 feet east of Woodpark Lane to the concrete pavement, and approximately 300 feet west of Woodpark Lane to Silverwood Lane. Staff is currently working on an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between the three cities outlining each City’s responsibility towards the project. After completion of the ILA, each City will present it to their City Council for consideration. ATTACHMENTS: N/A PRESENTER: Kenneth Overstreet, Public Works Director DATE: 01/15/19 Staff Report ITEM: Discussion and possible action on the removal of the barricade on Woodpark Lane that closes the road to through traffic between Cummings Drive and Cheeksparger Road. DISCUSSION: During the planning of the Walmart store along SH 121 and Cheeksparger Road, residents from the homes behind the site expressed concerns about increased traffic flow along Woodpark Lane. It was decided to install a barricade across the roadway where it intersects the TXU easement. Staff would like to hold a discussion on potentially removing the barricades to open the roadway for through traffic between Cheeksparger Road and Cummings Drive.

DISCUSSION: In Fiscal Year 2016/2017, Public Works installed wired in-lane lighting for the crosswalks on Cummings Drive and Murphy Drive. Since installation, there have been multiple maintenance issues with the system. It is also difficult to get the replacement parts to make repairs. When staff began searching for a contractor to install the budgeted pedestrian crosswalks last fiscal year, it was found that most contractors would not install the in-lane lighting and the few that were willing charged more than the budget would support. Staff then began investigating various options and potential vendors for pedestrian crosswalks. Three different variations where found: • In-lane lighting, similar to the ones installed on Cummings Drive and Murphy Drive. The type that are installed at the above locations are hardwired. If the City continues with the in- lane lighting, staff recommends installing wireless modules instead of hardwired modules. • Advanced warning beacons, which are installed at the pedestrian crossing on Central Drive, north of Harwood Road. • Overhead yellow warning beacons over the roadway, much like what is found at the beginning of school zones. While completing research, it was found that most cities have stopped installing the in-lane lighting. They are continuing to maintain systems that have already been installed, but are moving to other types of crosswalk warnings. It was also found that the pedestrian presence sensor is no longer recommended since items, such as blowing trash or debris, can cause the warning system to activate. Staff is seeking guidance from the Street Improvement Economic Development Corporation (SIEDC) members on how to proceed with the pedestrian crosswalks for future installations. ATTACHMENTS: N/A
