ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
The North Cowan Avenue project consists of replacing approximately 2,200 feet of 42-inch water transmission line, rehabilitating approximately 1,500 linear feet of sanitary sewer line, and reconstructing approximately 1,650 feet of roadway. The project also includes the addition of a water line connection to Village North Mobile Home Park. The project requires utility crossing permits and coordination with multiple agencies, including Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), and Upper Trinity Regional Water District (UTRWD). To minimize delays associated with the extended permitting process, the project has been divided into two phases: Phase 1 includes roadway and utility construction from Jones Street to the cul-de-sac, and Phase 2 includes permitting and utility crossing coordination from the cul-de-sac to Valley Ridge Boulevard. This approach allows construction to proceed while permitting activities continue. Staff has negotiated a Professional Services Agreement with Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc. in the amount of $471,775.00 plus a 5% contingency for a total cost of $495,363.75 for design services related to roadway, utility, and drainage improvements. Funding is available in the Cowan Ave with Water Line Distribution Capital Project.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the agreement and authorize the City Manager, or her designee, to execute the agreement as set forth in the caption above.
