Agenda Item

Resolution - Engineering: Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Professional Services Agreement Contract 17625, with Freese and Nichols, Inc., for engineering design services as it relates to Upland Avenue from 50th Street to 66th Street.

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 will acquire, construct and reconstruct street improvements, including but not limited to sidewalks, utility line relocations and traffic signalization, necessary and related storm drainage facilities, and the acquisition of land and rights-of-way for the full width dedication.   Upland Avenue from 50th Street to 66th Street is currently a 2-lane paved road and is designated in the 2018 Master Thoroughfare Plan to become a 5-lane modified principal arterial roadway. Continued growth in northwest Lubbock has increased traffic demands along the north Upland Avenue street corridor from 50th Street to 66th Street. Professional Services Agreement 17625 will provide the full design of an all-weather roadway at the ultimate roadway configuration of 5 lanes.   Staff conducted contract negotiations with Freese and Nichols, Inc., after establishing them as qualified under RFQ 21-15876-JM for providing engineering services. Fair and reasonable hourly rates were agreed upon for a total contract amount of $1,208,443 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, estimates and bid phase services for Upland Avenue from 50th Street to 66th Street.

Fiscal Impact

This contract is not to exceed $1,208,443, and is funded in Capital Improvements Project 92824, Upland Avenue: 50th Street to 66th Street – 22B.
