AGENDA CAPTION:

Consider Action on a Resolution to Approve the Third Renewal of the Master Services Agreement for Professional Engineering Services with Cobb, Fendley & Associates, Inc., Related to the Civil Engineering Review of Private Development Plans for Public Infrastructure and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Agreement in an Amount Not to Exceed $100,000.

BACKGROUND:

On September 28, 2017, a Three-Year Master Services Agreement (MSA) was executed between the Town of Addison and Cobb, Fendley & Associates, Inc., to provide private development plan review for the Town. Per the terms of that agreement and at the sole discretion of the Town, the agreement can be renewed three times after its initial term. The is the third renewal of the agreement, with the two previous agreements renewed in 2018 and 2019. This renewal would begin on the date of execution and end on September 30, 2021.

Cobb Fendley's services are provided through a Master Services Agreement that includes task orders for specific scopes of work. Each task order includes the scope and fee, along with a schedule for completion.

Cobb Fendley has provided these services to the Town since 2012 and has developed a thorough understanding of the Town design standards and practices. The services provided consist of professional engineering review of private development plans as they interface with or connect to the public infrastructure. Their review considers the development's compliance with the Town's design standards and ordinances, as well as industry best management practices. This helps ensure that the private infrastructure that is connected to the public infrastructure is designed and installed in a safe manner and in accordance with Town standards.

Staff recommends that the renewal be approved for an amount not to exceed $100,000. The funds for this contract are budgeted in the Public Works and Engineering Services Department's Fiscal Year 2021 budget. Because the plan review covers projects in utility, streets, and stormwater, the allocation of funds for this contract is split between those budgets.

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
