Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract for Engineering Services with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for the 2013-2014 On-Call Traffic Operations Engineering Work Authorization.
Body
This Work Authorization contract for traffic operations engineering services will allow the Transportation Department staff to quickly assign work to Kimley-Horn and Associates for small to moderate traffic studies and design projects. This Work Authorization contract is for a two-year period and has a not to exceed total of $200,000.00. Examples of tasks that might be expected under the individual work authorizations include: coordinated signal timing plan development, signal improvement design, traffic data collection and analysis, and signing and marking plans development. There are many instances in which the Transportation Department is asked to provide specific traffic data and/or implement "fixes" relative to economic development, safety concerns, and questions raised by community members. Many times we cannot respond quickly enough, due to staffing constraints. Having this contract in place with Kimley-Horn and Associates will allow us to react to those issues and requests more effectively. Staff recommends approval.
Cost: $200,000.00
Source of Funds: Round Rock Transportation and Economic Development Corporation
