Body
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Supplemental Contract #4 with CP&Y, Inc. to perform the following added work that has become necessary for the project. Add right turn lanes at Forest Creek Drive, add a hooded left turn on Kenney Fort at St. 78+00, perform additional surveying for right of way and topo, prepare right of way condemnation exhibits, environmental Sect. 404 permitting coordination and update drainage plans to support recently adopted Atlas 14 criteria.
The Kenney Fort Blvd. corridor is an important north/south transportation artery in Round Rock. 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. This roadway section will provide increased mobility as well as enhance the driving experience in Round Rock. 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 #4 will add $114,698.50 to the current contract amount of $1,993,536.96 for a total contract amount of $2,108,235.46. It is anticipated that the final plans will be completed by January 2021 and construction could begin by the summer of 2021 with a completion date of early 2023.
