Title

Approval of a contract with Raba Kistner Consultants, Inc. for construction materials observation and testing services on the Alves Lane Improvements Project

 

Body

BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:

The Alves Lane Improvement Project was approved under Proposition Two of the 2013 Bond Program. The project will improve drainage adjacent to Alves Lane from SH-46 to Barbarosa Road and includes the reconstruction of Alves Lane. Moreover, the project includes sidewalks on both sides of the roadway and ultimately has a positive impact on traffic congestion on SH-46.

 

City Council approved a joint contract with NBU to Capital Excavation for the construction of the Alves Ln. improvements on October 23rd 2017. The contract with Raba Kistner is for construction material observation and testing services and will be billed for the actual services rendered with an estimated project total of $100,400.  These professional services were procured through the City’s IDIQ which pre-qualified professional services vendors.
