SUBJECT:
Title
Approval for the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with Cobb Fendley to provide engineering design, bid phase and construction phase services for San Antonio Street, from Academy Street to Walnut Avenue, as part of the 2013 Bond Program.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The City-wide street program was approved by the citizens in the 2013 Bond Election. Projects in this program could include: mill & overlay, curb repair/replacement, sidewalk repairs, and ADA improvements.
On March 26, 2018 Council approved to move forward with San Antonio Street rehabilitation from Academy Street to Walnut Avenue. On June 12, 2018 the City released an Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (AAMPO) funded City-wide Pedestrian Improvement project which includes the removal and/or replacement of City sidewalks in various locations. One location chosen as part of the Pedestrian Improvements project parallels the same “footprint” as the San Antonio Street project, Academy to Walnut Ave. It is recommended by staff to utilize Cobb Fendley for the roadways improvements as well to improve coordination between the two projects and to benefit from this turn-key opportunity. Cobb Fendley has the experience and resources available to take-on both projects simultaneously.
As of October 16, 2018, NBU has initiated their construction contract for the replacement of the existing sewer and water utility in this location and is contracted to run through June 2019 which will allow time for the proposed design of the roadway improvements.
