Consider Action on a Resolution Approving an Agreement with Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. for Design Support During Construction Related to the Keller Springs Reconstruction Project and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement in an Amount Not to Exceed $400,000.

The purpose of this item is to award a Professional Service Agreement (PSA) with Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. (Jacobs) for design support during construction for the Keller Springs Road Reconstruction Project. 

Design Support During Construction Services are an industry standard for construction projects to ensure the construction contractor utilizes means and methods that comply with the contract requirements. Jacobs is the Engineer of Record for the Keller Springs Road Project design. Therefore, they are uniquely positioned to provide design support services because the Engineer of Record must be notified of or approve any requested interpretations and deviations by the construction contractor during construction.

The Scope of Work and a listing of fees for the anticipated services can be found in Exhibit A of the PSA. Services to be provided include meeting attendance and preparation; review of requests for information; review and acceptance of submittals; change order/field order reviews; landscape and irrigation reviews; traffic signalization reviews; other reviews and assistance; preparation of record drawings; and, additional services as requested by the Town. This scope also covers the design changes needed to optimize the project prior to rebid.  The amount of the PSA is not to exceed $400,000.

Administration recommends approval.
