PURPOSE:
Kimley-Horn, Inc., is being requested to provide additional engineering design services for the Holts Chapel Road and Lowdermilk Street Roadway Improvements and Sidewalks project (TIP No. EL-5101DM). City Council approval of a contract extension to the professional services contract with Kimley-Horn in the amount of $66,807.92 is requested.
BACKGROUND:
This design project is for the construction of 16,030 feet (3+ miles) of sidewalks along Holts Chapel Road and Lowdermilk Street. A significant portion of the contract includes adding curb and gutter to support the construction of the sidewalk. On July 19, 2011, City Council approved a municipal agreement between the City of Greensboro and NCDOT for up to $440,000 for the design of this sidewalk with Federal STP-DA funds covering 80% ($352,000) of the design and City of Greensboro's 2008 Transportation Bond funds covering a 20% ($88,000) match. This contract with the extension is still within the agreement amount.
On August 6, 2012, City Council approved award of a design contract to Kimley-Horn for $365,000. Contract 2012-0780 was endorsed and encumbered in the amount of $354,630.65. With this contract extension, the total amount will be $421,438.57 with the NCDOT reimbursing the City 80% of the cost. The roadway and design contract is 100% complete and awaiting NCDOT review. This contract extension is required to add design work in surveying and mapping of property required for new right-of-way and easements. This is an unanticipated cost, but it is included as a reimbursable item in the municipal agreement.
On April 15, 2014, City Council approved a contract extension in the amount of $23,039.50 to add the design for a new water main along the project for the Water Resources Department. The new water main is funded entirely by City funds and is not covered in the scope of the municipal agreement with NCDOT.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The design contract extension will be funded in account 401-4551-01.5410 in the amount of $66,807.92 (80% STP-DA, 20% local match).
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
The Engineering & Inspections Department recommends approval of the contract extension for the Holts Chapel Road and Lowdermilk Street design contract 2012-0780 in the amount of $66,807.92.
