Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Supplemental Contract No. 2 with CP&Y, Inc. for the Kenney Fort Boulevard (Segments 2&3) Project.
Body
This Supplemental Contract #2 with CP&Y, Inc. will provide final design services to take the Kenney Fort Boulevard, Seg. 2 & 3 from it's current 30% design status to 100% design completion. This work will consist of detailed plans, including but not limited to roadway sections, culvert designs, sidewalks, shared use paths, landscaping, street lighting, traffic signal design, water and waste water improvements, utility coordination, bid phase and construction phase services. This supplemental will also bring the plan development into NEPA compliance to allow the use of the recently acquired Federal construction funding for 70% of the construction costs.

This arterial roadway has been identified in the city's Master Transportation Plan as a corridor that is essential to the city's long term growth and continued prosperity. The Master Transportation Plan has determined the ultimate section for this thoroughfare to be a 6-lane divided urban facility.

Mobility will be increased by providing another reliever route from northeast Round Rock to SH 45 to the south, thereby lessening the flow of traffic to IH 35. This segment will also open up opportunities for additional economic development along the proposed route.
This supplemental contract #2 will add $840,597.18 to the current contract amount of $1,069,419.78 for a total contract amount of $1,910,016.96. It is anticipated that the final...
