Development Costs and Infrastructure Funding Study
The City of Fort Worth, Texas
Submittal Deadline: June 9, 2008
INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING CHALLENGE
The City of Fort Worth is a pro-growth community. Sustainable, managed
growth will continue to be a critical element of its success. However,
Fort Worth is not keeping pace with the infrastructure needs of a
rapidly increasing population, resulting in a backlog of capacity
projects.
OVERVIEW
The City of Fort Worth is soliciting proposals from firms to provide
professional economic consulting services associated with the creation
of a Study of Development Costs and Infrastructure Funding to identify
financing options for capital improvements in City of Fort Worth.
Interested firms are invited to submit proposals for the subject work in
accordance with the requirements outlined herein. Based on the stated
selection criteria, a single firm will be asked to enter into a formal
agreement for the subject services. This solicitation in no way
obligates the City to award a contract for the services described
herein, nor will the City assume any liability for the costs incurred in
the preparation and transmittal of proposals in response to this
solicitation.
PROJECT CONCEPT AND STATUS
The City of Fort Worth is experiencing significant development pressure
throughout the City. The City of Fort Worth and the Fort Worth Chamber
of Commerce are co-sponsoring this study. The City Manager has
established an Advisory Committee on Development Costs and
Infrastructure Funding to guide this effort and offer recommendations
regarding short term and long term funding plan options that will be
developed during this work.
The Consultant selected will be asked to identify the impacts associated
with development and provide for capital improvements required to
increase the capacity in order to facilitate future growth. For purposes
of this Request for Proposal only, infrastructure CIP includes arterial
roads, bridges, neighborhood street reconstruction, traffic
signalization, intersections and government buildings.
Proposals Due
Prior to 1:30 PM, CDT, June 9, 2008.
A pre-submittal conference is planned for May 14, 2008 from 1:30-3:00 PM
