RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of Amendment No. 1 to City Secretary
Contract No. 45118, an Engineering Services Agreement with GHD Inc., formerly Ourston
Roundabout Engineering, in the amount of$300,000.00 for On-Call Roundabout and Intersection
Design Services, thereby increasing the total contract amount to $500,000.00.
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 (and other alternative intersection
technologies) are being considered at intersections planned for improvements. A review of the
viability of a roundabout in comparison with other intersection technologies requires a level of
experience that few engineering consultants in Texas possess. Based on their qualifications,
extensive knowledge of roundabouts, past design experience and competence, GHD Inc., was
retained for a two-year period beginning October of last year. The proposed engineering services will
be utilized over that period to provide conceptual design services, feasibility analyses and quality
assurance/quality control assistance as needed.
GHD Inc., has completed conceptual design, review and feasibility studies for multiple roundabouts
over the last five months as outlined in the table below. GHD Inc., is currently providing preliminary
design for two roundabouts along Harmon Road, at its intersection with State Highway
287, Amendment No. 1 will increase the contract limit from the initial $200,000.00 to a total of
$500,000.00 enabling GHD Inc., to complete the previously defined projects and help in the delivery
of the 2014 Bond Program on a project-by-project basis.
