Title

Consider A Resolution  Authorizing The City Manager To Negotiate And Execute Contract Amendment No. 1 With APM & Associates, Inc For Additional Professional Engineering Services On Windmill Hill Street Reconstruction Project In An Amount Not To Exceed $81,800.00, Increasing The Total Project Contract To An Amount Not To Exceed $1,273,883.00.

 

Body

BACKGROUND:

The City hired APM & Associates, Inc to design the reconstruction of the Windmill Hill Subdivision in an amount not to exceed one million one hundred ninety-two thousand eighty-three dollars and no cents ($1,192,083.00).

 

The original design contract stipulates that the existing street width be updated from 27 ft to 31 ft. The 31 ft width is the standard residential road width in the Carrollton General Design Standards. However, during design it became clear that widening the roadway will cause large grading issues, many trees to be removed and impact the neighborhood significantly.

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

APM & Associates, Inc has submitted a proposal to the City of Carrollton to perform the additional engineering design services for the project for an amount not to exceed $81,800.00. The revised contract amount would be $1,273,883.00. 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:

  • Maintaining the 27ft street width will allow the project to be completed with minimal impact to the residential properties and reduce impact on the trees/vegetation located along the existing street.
  • Sustaining quality of life - Improvements in the subdivision and alleys should improve the appearance of the neighborhood which should promote residents to provide better upkeep of properties in the neighborhood.
  • Sustaining day-to-day operations - The replacement of substandard street and alley pavement should reduce the need for non-scheduled or emergency repairs.

 

STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:

Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to amend the existing engineering design services contract with APM & Associates, Inc. for the proposed design changes for the Windmill Hill Street Reconstruction project in an amount not to exceed $81,800.00.
