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.
