Consider approval of an Agreement for Services with ARKK Engineers for design, bidding, and construction engineering services associated with the City's Bay Street Shared-Use Path project.

In October 2017, the City was notified by the Texas Transportation Commission that our project under the Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside program had been selected for funding.  City staff along with The Goodman Corporation have been coordinating with TxDOT officials to get the project ready for funding.  The Bay Street Shared-Use Path is a combination of a new facility from Dike Road headed south, and replacing and widening an existing path from Skyline Drive into Bay Street Park (see exhibits).  The Federal / State contribution to the project is 80% of the construction cost ($410,154) with the City being responsible for 20% of the construction cost ($102,538).  In addition, the City is responsible to provide the design, environmental clearance, bidding and construction phase services for the project, all of which is included in this Agreement for Services.  ARKK Engineers will be utilizing the services of The Goodman Corporation to help navigate through the Federal and State administrative requirements for this project.
