(CD 2) Revise Scope of NW Loop 820 at Marine Creek Parkway 2018 Bond Program, Authorize Execution of Amendment Number 1, in the

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Revise the scope of the NW Loop 820 and Marine Creek Parkway Intersection Improvements project (City Project No. 101585) within the
2018 Bond Program to construct a U-Turn for eastbound traffic and a hike and bike trail;
2. Authorize execution of Amendment Number 1, in an amount not to exceed $700,000.00, to City Secretary Contract Number 51189, with
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., for additional engineering services related to the revised project scope; and
3. Amend the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to take actions to revise the scope of the Marine Creek Parkway Intersection
Improvements project from that which was described in the 2018 Bond book. The process consists of three steps: re -scope the Marine Creek
Parkway Intersection Improvements project to reflect the change in scope, execute Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Engineering Services
Agreement to provide engineering services for the amended scope, and amend the FY 2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program.
The 2018 Bond Program, approved by the voters, included funding for a project for Marine Creek Parkway Intersection at IH-820. The Bond
booklet that was distributed prior to the election described this specific project as: improve intersection capacity and enhance operational flexiblity
by reversing left turn lanes.
Kimley-Horn was awarded a task order contract No. 51189 (M&C C-28764) on June 26, 2018 by the City Council. The original contract was to
design the approved 2018 bond project scope to improve intersection capacity and enhance operational flexibility by reversing left turn lanes.
However, after submitting conceptual plans to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), receiving input at the public meeting, and
performing additional traffic analysis, it was determined that designing and constructing a U-Turn for eastbound traffic would provide significant
relief to the intersection and that this improvement could be delivered sooner as phase one of the project while the reverse left turn lane would
become phase two which has a longer delivery time frame due to TxDOT environmental clearance requirements. In addition to the U-Turn, a
pedestrian and bike trail has been added to the scope to facilitate coordination and construction with an existing project managed by the Park and
Recreation Department (PARD).
Staff recommends the project be re-scoped to include the U-Turn and trail improvements as the first phase of the ultimate buildout of traffic
improvements at the intersection. In adopting this recommendation, the City Council would be finding that the revised scope of the project
consisting of the changes described above - is within the voted purpose of the bonds as approved by the voters at the 2018 bond election.
Kimley-Horn is currently working on the preliminary design to deliver the U-Turn and the pedestrian trail as phase one under the Texas Department
of Transportation's (TxDOT) Local On -System Improvement Project (LOSA) agreement approved by City Council on August 4, 2020 (M&C 20-
0501).
For phase two of the project, staff will be pursuing federal participation to construct median improvements which will require the execution of an
Advance Funding Agreement (AFA) with TxDOT. The goal of Amendment No. 1 is to design phase 1 and phase 2 which both require significant
coordination with TxDOT that were not anticipated in the original contract but will contribute to the completion of this project.
Kimley-Horn proposes to complete the additional work for a fee not -to -exceed $700,000.00. Staff considers the fee to be fair and reasonable for
the scope of services proposed. The following table summarizes services for the project.
