The aggregate contract amount, including any supplemental agreements is not to exceed $90,000.00.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• Castle Hills, the developer of Trinity Falls Subdivision, has engaged Kimley Horn to design Trinity Falls Parkway from FM 543 to the existing connection to Laud Howell Parkway.
• Trinity Falls Parkway will be four lanes with a median, as is Laud Howell Parkway.
• The existing connection between Laud Howell and Trinity Falls is a two lane road, and the City is responsible for any desired upgrades.
• Kimley Horn is well qualified to design the roadway and since they were already engaged in the design of Trinity Falls Parkway, staff requested them to submit a proposal to design the connection to Laud Howell Parkway.
• Kimley Horn submitted a proposed fee as follows:
o Basic Design Fee $75,500.00
o Construction Monitoring $ 5,000.00
The basic fee represents 11.98% of the estimated $630,000.00 construction cost. The total fee is 12.78% of the estimate.
• Upon completion of design, the City will enter into an agreement with Castle Hills whereby Castle Hills will fund the upfront costs of the connection and the City will reimburse them as construction progresses.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
• The Resolution authorizes a professional services contract with Kimley-Horn Associates for an amount not to exceed $90,000.
• A budget amendment to transfer the necessary funds from ST4375 Development Catalyst Project to the ST4422 Trinity Falls Parkway Lanes 3 and 4 projects is on this agenda.
• With approval of this item, $0 will remain in ST4422 Trinity Falls Parkway Lanes 3 and 4.
• With approval of the budget amendment, $2,910,000 will remain in ST4375 Developer Catalyst Project.
