Resolution - Engineering:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Professional Services Agreement, Contract No. 17113, with Halff Associates, Inc., for engineering services for the reconstruction of Upland Avenue from 4th Street to 19th 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 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 4th Street to 19th 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 corridor from 4th Street to 19th Street. Professional Services Agreement 17113 will provide full design of a 3-lane all-weather roadway with consideration of ultimate buildout of 5 lanes.
Staff conducted contract negotiations with Halff Associates, 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 $949,700, with an 18-month contract duration. Staff recommends Halff Associates, Inc. of Fort Worth, Texas, be awarded the professional services contract that will provide the plans, specifications, estimates and bid phase services for Upland Avenue from 4th Street to 19th Street.
Fiscal Impact
This contract is not to exceed $949,700, and is funded in Capital Improvements Project 92812, Upland Avenue 4th Street to 19th Street-22B.
