SUBJECT ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH TURNER COLLIE 'u� r�IrilA���J, INC.
FOR THE EXTENSION OF MEACHAM BOULEVARD FROM GOLD SPIKE DRIVE TO
NORTH MAIN STREET
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an engineering services
agreement with Turner Collie & Braden, Inc. to prepare plans and specifications for the extension of
Meacham Boulevard from Gold Spike Drive to North Main Street for a lump sum fee of $416,994.
DISCUSSION:
On April 27, 1999 (M&C C-17392), the City Council approved a Federal Innovative Project Agreement
with the Texas Department of Transportation for the construction of Meacham Boulevard from Gold
Spike Drive to North Main Street. The Federal Innovative Project Agreement provides for $2,000,000 in
federal money for improvements to Meacham Boulevard from IH-35W to North Main Street.
The Meacham Boulevard extension from Gold Spike Drive to North Main Street includes a new bridge
over the Union Pacific Railroad, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad, and North Main Street with a
new intersection on the west side of North Main Street adjacent to Meacham International Airport. The
total project is estimated to cost $3,150,000.
The 1998 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) approved $2,600,000 for the extension of Meacham
Boulevard from its western terminus to North Main Street. The City Council approved $1,000,000
(M&C C-16699) of the $2,600,000 approved in the 1998 CIP through a Community Facilities Agreement
(CFA) with Prime Rail Interest, Inc. to fund the City's share of construction for a portion of the Meacham
Boulevard extension from its western terminus to Gold Spike Drive. This construction has been
completed. The remaining balance in the 1998 CIP Meacham Boulevard account is $1,600,000 that
will be used for the City's share of the Meacham Boulevard extension.
The engineering services agreement with Turner Collie & Braden, Inc. includes the following:
1) Preparation of the plans and specifications for the extension of Meacham Boulevard from Gold
Spike Drive to North Main Street; and
2) Preparation of an environmental assessment for the future widening of Meacham Boulevard
from a two-lane to four-lane divided boulevard from IH-35W to Blue Mound Road. The City
submitted the widening of Meacham Boulevard to a four-lane divided boulevard from IH-35W to
Blue Mound Road under the TEA-21 Call for Projects issued by the North Central Texas Council
of Governments. The final action on selected projects is scheduled in December 1999.
Turner Collie & Braden, Inc. conducted the planning study for this project and was selected by the City
to prepare the plans, specifications, and environmental assessment. The lump sum fee for the project
is $416,994. Staff conside�s this fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services to be
performed.
