SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Engineering Agreement with LopezGarcia Group to Design Drainage
Improvements in Accordance with City Specifications as Part of the East Rosedale Street Project
(City Project No. 00138) and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
- _-
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the transfer of $87,632 from the Storm Water Operating Fund to the Storm Water Capital
Projects Fund;
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Storm Water Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $87,632 from available funds; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute an engineering agreement with LopezGarcia Group, Inc., to
design drainage improvements in accordance with City specifications as part of the East Rosedale Street
Project (from IH-35W to US 287) (City Project No. 00138) in the amount of $87,632.
DISCUSSION:
On November 27, 1990, the City Council approved M&C G-8922 accepting the provisions of the then State
Department of Highways and Public Transportation Commission (now the Texas Transportation
Commission) Minute Order No. 90823 providing for the reconstruction of East Rosedale Street from IH-35W
to US 287 as a six-lane divided arterial. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is administering
design and construction. LopezGarcia Group (LGG) was selected by TxDOT to perform roadway and
drainage design.
TxDOT drainage design standards are limited to the 25-year design frequency, but City standards call for
design for the 100-year storm frequency protection. In order to meet City standards, staff requested
LopezGarcia Group to submit a cost proposal and scope of work to upgrade the design for drainage
improvements, which are located near Sycamore Creek Tributary. The upgraded scope of work includes
four additional culverts, channel construction, and storm drain and channel improvements.
LopezGarcia Group proposes to perform work for a lump sum fee of $87,632. City staff considers this fee
to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed. Because the upgrade design will be
performed at the request of the City, the City will be responsible for 100 percent of the cost.
LopezGarcia Group is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 18 percent M/WBE
participation. The City's goal on this project is 18 percent.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8, Mapsco, 77L.
