PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The purpose of this project is to reconstruct/widen Grand Avenue from 48th Street West to 58th Street West. The project includes constructing a traffic signal at the intersection of 54th Street West and Grand Avenue and a pedestrian signal at Ben Steel Middle School. Sidewalk and a multi-use path connecting the nearby neighborhoods to the school will also be constructed. Staff requested the services of an engineering firm to provide design and construction administration services for the project, and Sanderson Stewart was selected through the Request for Proposals (RFP) process. Other firms considered were KLJ, HDR and DOWL. The contract amount is $556,900. School District 2 will be participating in the funding for design and construction.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The Council may:
- Award the Contract for Professional Services to Sanderson Stewart; or
- Do not award the contract. If the contract is not awarded, the reconstruction of the road will be delayed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost of design services is $556,900. Arterial fees, Gas Tax and School District 2 Funds are budgeted for design and construction.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council authorize the Mayor to execute a Contract for Professional Services with Sanderson Stewart for $556,900 for Grand Avenue engineering design services.
