The 2004 Capital Improvement Program included funds for the City of Fort Worth's (City) share of costs for the State Highway 121 (Southwest Parkway) project. Subsequent funding was included in the 2007 Critical Capital Projects approved by Council in December 2006.
  
On December 7, 2004, (M&C C-20437, as amended on April 26, 2005, M&C C-20685) the City authorized an Infrastructure Development Agreement (Agreement) with Edwards Geren Limited (EGL), City Secretary Contract No. 31709, under which the City will fund and construct certain infrastructure related to the development of Southwest Parkway. These infrastructure improvements provide for water, sewer, paving and drainage improvements on the Edwards Ranch development. As part of the Agreement with EGL, the City escrowed funds for the design and construction of the identified improvements to ensure adequate funding was available.
  
On May 12, 2009, (M&C C-23494) City Council authorized the award of a contract to L.H. Lacy Company, Ltd., for Edwards Ranch Road, Phase II, paving and drainage improvements. Change Order No. 1 includes quantity adjustments for paving and storm drainage. A portion of the storm drainage design was revised to enhance the future adjacent development by EGL and satisfy Tarrant Regional Water District permitting requirements at the outfall to the Trinity River. The pavement design has been modified to ensure continuity with the future State Highway 121. Additionally, unsuitable roadway material was discovered during construction which must be removed and replaced with acceptable fill material.
  
The developer, EGL, is responsible for $140,286.54 and the City is responsible for the remaining portion of $89,176.54. EGL will deposit $140,286.54 into the escrow account for the project. Accordingly, after the execution of this change order with L.H. Lacy Company, Ltd., the City will withdraw the sum of $140,286.54 for the construction of the improvements associated with this change order.

The net effect of the proposed change order is as follows:

Original Contract Amount	$3,931,769.09
Change Order No.1	$229,463.08
Revised Contract Amount	$4,161,232.17
