PURPOSE
To request additional services be included in the existing contract for design services of N 40th Avenue between Bridge Street and Garcia Avenue.
BACKGROUND
Through a competitive bid process, JR Engineering was awarded the contract to provide design services for the N 40th Avenue from Bridge Street to Garcia Avenue in July 2017. Since the commencement of the project, additional improvements and design have determined to be necessary to complete the project. These additional services focus on the adjacent school district property impacts and mitigation of drainage impacts such as reconfiguration of parking, mill/overlay work, modifying the existing school district access on Bridge Street, drainage work south of Bridge and areas west, and extending the curb, gutter, and sidewalk on Bridge Street east of North 40th Avenue to connect with the existing curb line.
These additions are necessary to complete the project design. The footprint of the roadway impacts the parking spaces, sidewalks, and access points for the school district. Including the school district property and drainage work in the design creates a project that will be comprehensive and cohesive when constructed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The current contract with JR Engineering totals $157,994.00; the proposed additions would increase the contract by $84,016.00 for a total contract amount of $242,010.00. There is sufficient funding within the 2017 Project budget for the additional services; supplemental funding is not being requested for this modification.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the additional services.
