Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract for Engineering Services with Aguirre & Fields, LP for the Old Settlers Extension Project.
Body
This contract is to provide engineering services required for the preparation of 30 % plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) and related supporting documents for the construction of an extension segment of Old Settlers Blvd in Round Rock, TX. The project limits will begin at N Red Bud Ln and end at CR 110 with transitions as necessary beyond those intersections to accommodate the traffic control plan or other miscellaneous work. These services include preparing roadway design, hydrologic and hydraulic design, structural design, illumination, environmental documentation, public involvement, geotechnical investigation and survey necessary to support the design process. These services also include providing support for the project bidding and a modest amount of construction services if necessary during the construction process.
This segment of Old Settlers Blvd is a missing link in the existing roadway system and will provide an important connection for one of our east/west routes in Round Rock. This connection is identified in the City's 2017 Transportation Master Plan and is proposed to be constructed in accordance with that document. The proposed roadway will be a four lane urban roadway pavement section that will increase mobility, as well as,improve the driving experience for many who will utilize this area.
The contract cost is $532,331.53 and the proposed contract time will expire on July 5, 2021.
Cost: $532,331.53
