REFERENCE 20ENGINEERING SERVICES
DATE: 10/22/2013 C-26524 LOG NAME: AGREEMENT -
NO.. ROUNDABOUTS
CODE: C TYPE: NON- PUBLIC NO
CONSENT HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of Engineering Services Agreements with Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc., Freese and Nichols, Inc., Ourston Roundabout Engineering Inc., and
TranSystems Corporation Consultants in a Total Amount Not to Exceed $1,700,000.00, for
the Design of Roundabout Intersections Over a Twenty -Four Month Time Period (ALL
COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of Engineering Services Agreements
with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., in the amount of $500,000.00, Freese and Nichols, Inc., in the
amount of $500,000.00, Ourston Roundabout Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $200,000.00 and
TranSystems Corporation Consultants in the amount of $500,000.00, for Engineering Design and
Professional Services relating to the design of general intersection improvements and roundabouts
over a twenty-four month time period.
DISCUSSION:
The Department of Transportation and Public Works (TPW), Infrastructure Design and Construction
Division is responsible for coordinating and managing the design and construction of arterial
roadways, neighborhood streets, and intersection improvements. As part of the intersection
improvements program, the construction of modern roundabouts is being considered at intersections
planned for improvements. A review of the viability of a roundabout at each intersection of concern
requires a level of experience that few engineering consultants in Texas have. As a result, the
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was advertised in April and May of this year to select firms for
design of roundabouts to be constructed over the next two -years. Sixteen firms submitted Statements
of Qualifications which were evaluated by a committee of five members representing TPW, Water,
and the Business Diversity Office. All submittals were ranked based upon project team experience,
design experience, experience with the City of Fort Worth, and fast -track project delivery experience.
The result of this RFQ process was the selection of Ourston Roundabout Engineering, Inc. to provide
Quality Assurance and Quality Control for the City of Fort Worth and the selection of Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc., Freese and Nichols, Inc., and TranSystems Corporation Consultants to provide
design services for the construction of approved intersections warranting a modern roundabout.
The proposed engineer services will be utilized over the next 24 months to provide design services,
feasibility analyses, and construction phase assistance as needed for the purpose of constructing
modern roundabouts.
The first three roundabouts in this program will be located at the intersections of North Riverside and
Fossil Creek, North Riverside and Northern Cross and North Riverside and Meacham. Engineering
services for these three roundabouts will total $426,174.00.
M/WBE Office - A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the

Engineering, Inc., in accordance with the BDE Ordinance, because the purchase of goods and
services from source(s) where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.

meet the MBE participation for this task order project.
