Approval of a professional service agreement with LNV, Inc. for engineering design on Union Avenue from Common Street to Austin Street.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The citywide street program was approved by the citizens in the 2013 Bond election. Projects in this program could include: mill & overlay of pavement, curb repair/replacement, sidewalk repairs, and concrete diamonds around meter boxes and manholes.
On April 9, 2018, City Council selected Union Street from Common Street to Austin Street as a Citywide street project. This project will include spot base repairs, a mill and overlay and sidewalks.
Staff issued a task order off the City’s Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) list that went out to five firms. Four submissions were turned in by engineering firms. Staff reviewed and evaluated the submissions and selected LNV, Inc. as the most qualified firm for this work on Union Avenue. Staff requested a scope and fee proposal from LNV and after negotiations a proposal of $56,075 was submitted for survey, design, bid phase and construction phase services.
