SUBJECT:
Title
Approval of a contract modification to HMT Engineering for the proposed 2019 Bond Citywide Street projects on Lakeview Blvd. and California Blvd.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The Citywide Street Program projects could include: Asphalt excavation and replacement, base repairs, curb repair/replacement, sidewalk repairs/replacement, mill and overlay, and concrete diamonds around meter boxes and manholes.
On September 10, 2018 City Council approved Lakeview Blvd and California Blvd for design as part of the 2019 Bond Citywide Street and Sidewalks Program. HMT Engineering was awarded both projects. After further review, HMT identified additional design components necessary to be completed as part of these projects. City staff recommends additional funding to support the design and environmental requirements for each project.
Both Lakeview Blvd and California Blvd affect the Edwards Aquifer. The City is required to submit a Water Pollution Abatement Plan (WPAP) report to TCEQ for their approval. In addition, both roadways will need substantial engineering to develop construction plans for sidewalk designs on Lakeview Blvd and California Blvd. HMT’s proposal for Lakeview Boulevard is $57,500 and their proposal for California Boulevard is $62,500 for a total of $120,000.
