SUBJECT:
Title
Approval of a contract modification to Cobb Fendley Engineering for the proposed 2019 Bond Citywide Street project at Lamar School area.
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 the Lamar School area project for design as part of the 2019 Bond Citywide Street and Sidewalks Program. Cobb Fendley Engineering was awarded the project. After further review, the sidewalk portion of this project is up for a potential safe routes to school (SRTS) funding through TXDoT. City staff recommends additional funding to support breaking the project into a road work and separate sidewalk project. Additionally, three sidewalk sections need to be added to the sidewalk project to provide connections to Union Avenue and the Fair Grounds.
The original contract amount for design, survey and TDLR review on the Lamar School area project was for $133,170. Breaking the sidewalks out of this project, an additional $4,400 needs to be added. The three new sidewalk sections requires additional design and survey for a total of $42,054. In total the contract for Cobb Fendley needs an additional $46,454.
If the sidewalk project is approved for SRTS, staff would bring back to Council the remaining fees to cover TXDoT coordination, bid phase and construction phase totaling $83,740.
