Work Session and Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:	05/28/2019
Department:	Public Works

AGENDA CAPTION:

Consider Action to Approve a Resolution Approving Task Order Number 11 to the Master Services Agreement for Professional Engineering Services Between the Town of Addison and Cobb-Fendley & Associates, Inc., for Professional Engineering Services Related to the Civil Engineering Review of Development Plans for the DART Cotton Belt Line as it Runs Through Addison, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement in an Amount Not to Exceed $64,840.

BACKGROUND:

The review of the design of DART's Cotton Belt rail line as it affects the Town's infrastructure will be required beginning in the summer of 2019. Cobb-Fendley and Associates, Inc., provides plan review services for the Town under a Master Services Agreement that was executed on September 28, 2017. Task Orders are issued under the Master Services Agreement (MSA) for specific work to be performed by Cobb-Fendley. The term of the MSA is for an initial year with three one-year options to renew at the Town's discretion. The agreement was renewed on November 14, 2018 for an amount not to exceed $47,000.

This action would authorize MSA Task Order #11 in the amount not to exceed $64,840 for the review of plans associated with the DART Cotton Belt rail line. If approved, Cobb-Fendley will review the plans for street crossings, storm water drainage, water and wastewater utility relocations and changes, and other proposed designs that affect the Town's infrastructure.

Cobb-Fendley has reviewed plans for the Town since 2012. They are very familiar with the Town's design standards, ordinances, specifications, and construction standards that enables them to perform plan reviews quickly and accurately, in keeping with the Town's goal of providing excellent customer service. Due to the small size of the Town's Public Works staff, Cobb-Fendley's review of the plans is critical in being able to respond to DART in a timely manner.

Funding for this expenditure is available in the Development Services Department Fiscal Year 2019 operating budget.

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
