DATE: Tuesday, January 09, 2007
LOG NAME: 20KELLHICKSTNP REFERENCE NO.: **C-21918
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of an Engineering Agreement with Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc., for the
Design of Keller-Hicks Road from Ridgview Street to Park Vista Boulevard and Beach Street from
Golden Triangle Boulevard to Keller-Hicks Road and Adopt Appropriation Ordinances
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Special Assessments Fund in the amount of $300,000.00 from available funds;
2) Authorize the transfer of $300,000.00 from the Special Assessments Fund to the Street Improvements
Fund;
3) Adopt the attached, appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Street Improvements Fund in the amount of $300,000.00 from available funds; and
4) Authorize the City Manager to execute an Engineering Services Agreement with Teague Nall and
Perkins, Inc., in the amount of $668,030.00 for the design of Keller-Hicks Road from Ridgview Street to
Park Vista Boulevard and Beach Street from Golden Triangle Blvd to Keller-Hicks Road.
DISCUSSION:
The Keller Independent School District (KISD) has recently constructed new elementary and middle schools
on Keller-Hicks Road just west of Alta Vista Drive. On April 26, 2004 the City executed a Community
Facilities Agreement (CSCN-33444) with KISD that provided for the reconstruction by KISD of Keller-Hicks
Road from Ridgview Street to Alta Vista Drive with three lanes. KISD retained Teague Nall and Perkins
(TNP) to design the roadway. This was planned as an interim improvement until the City could construct an
additional two lanes to ultimately provide afive-lane section in front of the schools. Last fall when the
school year began, the need to accelerate the five-lane construction and extend the improvements beyond
the school boundaries became apparent. Therefore, staff proposes the following three phase plan:
1) Amend the CFA with KISD to allow the full five-lane section in front of the schools to be constructed at
one time, with City participation to cover the costs for the additional two lanes, with construction in 2007.
2) Widen Keller-Hicks Road to four lanes east of Alta Vista Road to Park Vista Boulevard because Park
Vista is the primary entrance for the Woodland Springs subdivision, which is generating much of the traffic
in the area, with construction in 2008.
3} Construct the west two lanes of the planned four-lane divided Beach Street from Golden Triangle
Boulevard to Keller-Hicks Road, to provide additional access for the Woodland Springs to IH-35W via
Golden Triangle, with construction in 2009.

In hopes of getting Phase 1 built before the beginning of the 2007 school year, staff recommends that the
design services contract with Teague Nall and Perkins, for surveys, final plans and specifications for all
three phases, be executed at this time. Subsequent M&C's will be presented to Council for the amended
KISD CFA for Phase 1, and for the construction contracts for Phases 2 and 3.
Teague Nall and Perkins has already done the design for the three-lane section in front of the
schools. Furthermore, they are the City's design consultants for Golden Triangle Blvd. and are very familiar
with the area. Staff considers them to be the best qualified and in the best position to complete the
engineering ~ in the most efficient and expeditious manner. Teague Nall and Perkins has proposed to
perform the necessary surveys, final plans and specifications for a lump sum fee of $668,038. City staff
considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services to be performed.
Teague Nall and Perkins is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 10 percent
M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 10 percent.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2, MAPSCO 22 J, K and L.
