BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code mandates that impact fees be reviewed and updated at least every 5 years. The City of McKinney last performed a review and update of impact fees in 2012-2013.
• Accordingly, Development Services Staff (Planning and Engineering Departments) is now initiating the 2018-2019 Roadway Impact Fee Update.
• The project will involve updates to the land use assumptions, Roadway Improvements Plan, and impact fees.
• Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. efficiently and effectively provided professional consulting services in support of the City’s 2002-2003, 2007-2008, and 2012-2013 roadway impact fee updates; Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. has thorough knowledge of the City’s roadway impact fee program and ordinance; Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. has extensive experience with and expertise in the complexities (e.g. theoretical, technical methodology, legal framework) of roadway impact fees in Texas.
• Kimley-Horn and Associates submitted a response to RFQ 18-45 for On-Call Roadway Design Services. They were one of twelve firms shortlisted by City Council on October 2, 2018.
• In addition to the Roadway Impact Fee Update, the Utility (Water and Wastewater) Impact Fee Update is also being initiated by Development Services Staff. It is the intent to have both Updates move forward at the same schedule and pace. In doing so, Staff can coordinate closely between both efforts.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
• The Resolution authorizes a contract with Kimley-Horn Inc. for an amount not to exceed $180,000.
• Funds are available in the Capital Improvements Program Project ST4231.
• With the approval of this item, $7,500 will remain in ST4231
