Title
Consider Authorizing The City Manager To Approve A Professional Services Contract With JBI Partners For Surveying Services For The Crosby Road Redevelopment Initiative In An Amount Not To Exceed $33,000.00.
Body
BACKGROUND:
This agenda item is for surveying services associated with the Crosby Road redevelopment initiative. The services are broken down into two projects.
The first project will create boundary surveys for all the parcels of land that the City currently owns along Crosby Road, as well as the parcels that the City is currently in negotiations to acquire. Boundary surveys will be required in order to purchase and close on those properties.

As such, there is flooding potential on the western side of the site near the DG&NO rail line. A flood feasibility analysis is required for a potential developer to provide an accurate concept plan for the area's redevelopment.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost of surveying services for all Crosby Road tracts is $20,000, while the cost of surveying services to support the flood feasibility analysis is $10,000. A 10% contingency has been added to cover reimbursable expenses, if any. The total funding amount of $33,000 is available in the Transit-Oriented Capital Account.
