Title
Consider A Resolution Authorizing The City Manager To Amend The Design Services Contract With HUITT-ZOLLARS, INC. For The Proposed Design Changes For The Hebron Parkway (Hamilton to Meadow) Segment 2 Project in An Amount Not To Exceed $88,880.00 For A Total Revised Contract Amount Not To Exceed $2,385,010.00.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The City hired Huitt-Zollars, Inc. to design the reconstruction of Hebron Parkway (Hamilton to Meadow) Segment 2 in an amount not to exceed Two Million Three Hundred Eighty-five Thousand Ten and No/100 Dollars ($2,385,010.00).
The original design contract allocated money to study the existing drainage system to determine what reasonable improvements could be made to the areas that currently experience flooding issues. This contract amendment will finalize the drainage study and allow for the design of the selected underground storm improvements.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
HUITT-ZOLLARS, INC has submitted a proposal to the City of Carrollton to perform the additional engineering design services for the project in an amount of $88,880.00, with a revised contract amount not to exceed $2,473,890.00. Funding is available in the Streets Consolidated Fund.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
This project will support the City Council’s strategic objectives and vision of building a community that families and businesses want to call home by:
• Reducing standing water and flood-related hazards along Hebron Parkway to improve safety and travel time reliability during rain events. (Council Goal: Reliable Infrastructure and Resilience)
• Preserving pavement and subgrade by improving drainage, which lowers long-term maintenance needs and protects prior and future investments. (Council Goal: Financial Stewardship and Economic Vitality)
• Maintaining access to businesses, schools, and services during storms through right-sized underground storm system upgrades that keep the corridor operational. (Council Goal: Efficient Government Operations and Performance)
• Strengthening emergency response and daily mobility with more consistent all-weather access for residents, deliveries, school traffic, and transit users. (Council Goal: Effective, Aligned Teams)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommend authorizing the City Manager to amend the existing engineering design services contract with HUITT-ZOLLARS, INC. for the proposed design changes for the Hebron Parkway (Hamilton to Meadow) Segment 2 project in an amount not to exceed $88,880.00.
