ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)

Consider and take action on Resolution No. 20-19, entering into an agreement with Clark Condon Engineers for design work at State Highway 146 and Palmer Highway.

BACKGROUND

As part of the Livable Center Study, markers and improvements were to extend to 33rd Street and the bridge at that location is now under construction.  The design ties into what the I-45/Emmet F. Lowery exchange is.  To maintain that theme and to extend the Livable Center impact to the actual entrance to the City at SH146 and Palmer Highway, we have an opportunity to improve the appearance at that intersection with landscaping, lighting, architectural glass "river" and other concrete work under and around the overpass.  The overall project is anticipated to cost around $600,000 and the design and engineering costs are estimated by Clark Condon at $113,000.  This item is to engage Clark Condon in the engineering and design work and to get a firm estimate to approve later on the actual work.
