RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
• Approval of the Resolution.
ITEM SUMMARY:
• The Resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute an amended professional services contract with Kimley-Horn and Associates in order to perform additional transportation modeling and land use planning associated with the US 380 bypass concept, specific tasks associated with the development of a fiscal model, and other associated services in support of the 10-Year Comprehensive Plan Update.
• The contract for the 10-Year Comprehensive Plan Update was first authorized by City Council in June 2015.
• Based on recent developments in regional growth projections and mobility planning, additional transportation modeling and land use plans are needed for the 10-Year Comprehensive Plan Update to evaluate and capture the potential implications of these regional initiatives into the ONE McKinney 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
• In addition, details related to the development of a fiscal model in support of the ONE McKinney 2040 Comprehensive Plan are also included in the amended professional services contract.
• To carry out these additional tasks, Staff has reached an agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates on a Modified Scope of Services.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• A Comprehensive Plan is a statement of the community’s vision for today and tomorrow. It represents the desires of the citizens and their goals for the community.
• A Comprehensive Plan focuses on outlining a physical plan and business plan for the City. It is typically comprised of a number of interrelated elements such as land use, transportation, utilities, public services, socio-economic, and open space elements.
• Upon adoption, a Comprehensive Plan provides the basis for Zoning and Subdivision Regulations. The plan should also be referred to in capital improvement planning, zoning changes, annexation actions, and other choices made by the City.
• The current McKinney Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2004 after a lengthy public input process and planning effort. When the 2004 Comprehensive Plan was adopted, the McKinney population was roughly 86,000. Today, the City is home to over 155,000 people. With this significant growth comes a change to the physical environment around us and the needs and desires of the community.
• On June 16, 2015, City Council approved a project scope and contract with Kimley-Horn and Associates for professional services in support of an update to the Comprehensive Plan.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
• The original Professional Services Contract with Kimley-Horn included a lump sum fee amount not to exceed $648,400.
• The Amended Professional Services Contract increases the lump sum fee to an amount not to exceed $677,377, which is an increase of approximately $22,000 from the original contract.
• Funds for the additional work are available in the existing budget for the Comprehensive Plan Update.
