AGENDA CAPTION:

Present, discuss, and consider action on a Resolution approving an agreement for professional engineering services between the Town of Addison and Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc. for the design of the Quorum Drive Reconstruction Project and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement in an amount not to exceed $4,421,647.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this item is to approve a professional services agreement for the design of the reconstruction of Quorum Drive from the DART railroad, just north of Arapaho Road, south to Dallas Parkway.

As part of Proposition B in the 2019 bond election, voters approved a total of $26.3M for the Quorum Drive Reconstruction Project. This included $23.4M for civil work and $2.9M for placemaking.

In October 2022, an RFQ (Request for Qualifications) was posted on Bidsync for the design services needed for the project. The RFQ closed on November 21, 2022, with a total of ten Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) received. Following the evaluation, the selection committee chose the top two engineering firms for interviews. Ultimately, Teague Nall & Perkins (TNP) was selected as the most qualified for the project. Town staff then began negotiations with TNP, successfully developed a work scope, and finalized an agreement.

A complete scope of services can be found in exhibit "A" of the agreement, but it generally includes:

Placemaking and urban design visioning
Public involvement meetings
Reports and schematic plans
Subsurface utility engineering and coordination
Design of water, illumination, wastewater, drainage, traffic signals, and roadway
Design of public spaces, landscape, irrigation, and aesthetics
Procurement support services
Right-of-way and easement preparations and acquisition
Geotechnical services
Preparation of construction packages
Project media, recognition, and awards

The proposed $4,421,647 design fee aligns with the cost estimates performed as part of the 2019 bond election.

In addition to the $26.3M as part of the 2019 bond election, an additional $489K in the Self-Funded Streets Fund is available. This brings the total project budget to $26,791,409. The design is anticipated to take approximately 18 months to complete.

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
