SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of a Professional Services Agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc., in an Amount Up to
$850,000.00 for Transportation Related Engineering Services for the 2018 Bond Planning Process, Provide
for Staff Costs and Contingencies for a Base Project Amount of$1,000,000.00 and Adopt Appropriation
Ordinance (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
2018 Bond Program Engineering Study Project of the TPW Gas Lease Projects Fund in the amount of
$1,000,000.00 and reduce fund balance in the reserves by the same amount; and
2. Authorize execution of a Professional Services Agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc., in an amount
up to $850,000.00 for Engineering Services to evaluate potential arterial transportation improvements for
the 2018 Bond planning process.
DISCUSSION:
The Professional Services Agreement recommended by this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C)
will provide assistance to the Transportation and Public Works Department (TPW) to identify, evaluate and
prepare cost estimates for potential transportation projects within the arterial and intersection improvement
categories for the 2018 Bond. This work effort will result in a prioritized list of recommended
transportation improvements based on a structured process of evaluating total costs, scope and
benefits. The Agreement provides for this technical work on a task order basis for a fee in the amount of
$850,000.00.
The consultant will identify key transportation improvements located on the arterial roadway system as
defined by the City's Master Thoroughfare Plan. Schematic designs will be prepared for each potential
project to assist with identifying utility relocations, right-of-way acquisition and drainage improvements
associated with the proposed roadway and intersection improvements. This information will be used to
prepare comprehensive cost estimates for project delivery, including inflationary adjustments based on the
anticipated year of project delivery.
The consultant will also assist City staff with developing a preliminary priority ranking based on several
factors such as travel demand, existing capacity, cost, potential funding partnerships, system connectivity,
multimodal functions and access to land development/redevelopment areas. Engineering services may
include collection of data such as traffic volumes, geotechnical information and land information.
This work effort is scheduled to begin upon execution of the Agreement. A summary report will be
completed by October 1, 2016. Additional services will be provided throughout the development of the
