RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:

DISCUSSION:
The engineering agreement recommended by this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) will provide for engineering and design services
related to the Comanche Trail Hazardous Road Overtopping Mitigation (HROM) project. The project will mitigate the risk of hazardous road
overtopping of Comanche Trail between Malaga Drive and Marina Drive to better protect drivers from road flooding. The 2020 Stormwater
Revenue Bond will fund this project.
In May 2018, the Transportation and Public Works Department (TPW), Stormwater Management Division, published a Request for Qualifications
(RFQ) for various engineering consulting services. Based on the results of the RFQ, Pape -Dawson Engineers, Inc. (Pape -Dawson) was selected
as the most qualified consultant to design this project and proposes to perform design and engineering services for a fee in the amount of
$505,685.00. The services provided will include designing culvert and roadway improvements for Comanche Trail between Malaga Drive and
Marina Drive. This project will increase the number and capacity of the culverts and raise the roadway to improve protection for drivers by passing
the 100-year storm under the roadway. The engineer will also prepare plans and specifications for construction and provide services during
bidding and construction. Staff considers the fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
Additional funds in the amount of $211,480.00 are requested for project administration and easements. Funding for this project was not included
in the Fiscal Years (FY) 2021-2025 Stormwater Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as this site had not been identified as a feasible project.
Stormwater revenue bond funds in the amount of $3,200,000.00 were previously appropriated to the Quail Road HROM project (City Project
Number 103053) and will be reallocated to this project since more time is required to develop the Quail Road HROM project due to complexities
associated with its location. If determined to be feasible, the Quail Road project will be re -programmed for the FY 2023 CIP. The action in this
M&C will amend the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program as approved in connection with Ordinance 24446-09-2020
Business Equity — Pape -Dawson Engineers, Inc. is in compliance with the City's Business Equity Ordinance by committing to 7% Business Equity
participation on this project. The City's Business Equity goal on this project is 6%.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Quail Road HROM project within the Stormwater Rev Bonds 2020 Fund
and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the Stormwater
Rev Bonds 2020 Fund for Comanche Trail HROM project to support the approval of the above recommendations and execution of the contract.
Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Transportation & Public Works Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
