City Council Agenda Summary Sheet
Agenda Item No. 10C1.
Agenda Caption:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract for Engineering
Services with Huggins/Seiler & Associates, LP for the Mays Street Reconstruction Phase 1
Project.
Meeting Date: November 10, 2011
Department: Transportation
Staff Person making presentation: Gary Hudder
Transportation Director
Item Summary:
On September 22, 2011 the City Council approved Amendment #28 to the Transportation Capital Improvement
Program. This amendment provided funding for the Mays Street project, which includes improvements between
the Brushy Creek Bridge and the Union Pacific Railroad/Lake Creek Bridge (the UPRR Bridge). Within these limits,
these improvements will include a widening of the roadway, improvements to the sidewalks, the addition of street
furniture (including lighting, benches and trash receptacles), lighting over the UPRR Bridge, and gateway features at
the entrances to downtown. These improvements will work in concert with the assumption of maintenance and
operations for Mays Street (initiated by Council on September 8, 2011).
This section of Mays Street was part of the original plat for the City in 1880; as such there are few records and in
some cases no records in existence for the utilities and other infrastructure in this area. Due to these unknown
features, staff believes that it is prudent to initially pursue a reduced scope of services for this project, and execute
an amendment to complete the design as more details are known so that a more exact price for engineering services
can be determined.
HSA Engineering, Inc., a local engineering firm, was selected to produce the engineering documents related to this
project. They have submitted a proposal in the amount of $235,288.80 to produce a 30% design schematic for this
project. This level of work will give City Staff and the consultant a greater level of comfort to complete the design of
this project under a future supplemental agreement.
Cost: $235,288.80
