Resolution - Engineering:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Professional Services Agreement Contract No. 17074 for the design of Upland Avenue from 34th Street to 50th Street and street bond management assistance, by and between the City of Lubbock and Freese and Nichols, Inc.
Item Summary
On November 8, 2022, Lubbock voters approved issuance of a $200 million street improvements bond package, for the purpose of providing permanent public improvements. The funding provides for street improvements, including but not limited to sidewalks, utility line relocations and traffic signals, necessary and related storm drainage facilities, and the acquisition of land and rights-of-way for the full width dedication.
Upland Avenue from 34th Street to 50th Street is currently a two-lane paved road and is designated in the 2018 Master Thoroughfare Plan to become a five-lane Principal Arterial (Modified). Continued growth in West Lubbock has increased traffic demands along the Upland Avenue corridor from 34th Street to 50th Street. Professional Services Agreement 17074 will provide full design of a 5-lane undivided thoroughfare with curb and gutter, drainage, street lights, and sidewalks within a 110-foot right-of-way.
Additionally, Professional Services Agreement 17074 will provide program management services to assist the City with all aspects of executing the Lubbock Road Bond.
Staff conducted contract negotiations with Freese and Nichols after establishing them as qualified under RFQ 15876, for providing engineering services. Fair and reasonable hourly rates were agreed upon for a total contract amount of $1,639,143 with a 12-month contract duration. Staff recommends Freese and Nichols, Inc. of Lubbock, Texas, be awarded the professional service contract that will provide the plans, specifications, bid phase services for Upland Avenue from 34th Street to 50th Street, and Program Management for the entire Lubbock Road Bond.
Fiscal Impact
This contract is not to exceed $1,639,143, and is funded in Capital Improvements Project 92815, Upland Avenue: 34th to 50th Street – 22B.
