PASSION.PROSPSM
Agenda Item No. 9D1.
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract for Engineering
Services with Baker-Aicklen & Associates, Inc. for the Arterial Improvement Program —
Agenda Caption: Bottleneck Projects.
Meeting Date: January 26,2012
Department: Transportation
Staff Person making presentation: Gary Hudder
Transportation Director
Item Summary:
On June 23, 2011 the City Council provided funding for the Arterial Improvement Program - Bottleneck Projects.
This program is directed at addressing bottlenecks in the transportation system, such as right and left turn lanes at
key intersections in the community.
Work which is currently being performed related to this program includes a right turn lane for southbound traffic on
Red Bud Lane at Gattis School Road, a right turn lane for northbound traffic on Red Bud Lane at Forest Creek Drive,
and a right turn lane on University Boulevard for eastbound traffic at Sunrise Road. The first two projects have
already been awarded for construction,and the third project is anticipated to be ready for bid in February.
As a part of the five year capital improvement program recently adopted by Council, additional funds were provided
toward this program to further address bottlenecks in our community. This action was approved by the Council at
their September 22,2011 meeting.
Subsequently, staff conducted a request for qualifications process with local engineering firms to perform work
related to this project. During this process, staff determined that five local engineering firms are qualified to
perform this work, and that a work authorization type of contract with each of these firms would be the most
appropriate method by which to administer this program. This arrangement would allow projects to proceed
forward expeditiously, and by utilizing multiple firms it will allow the City to spread the work around equitably. This
arrangement will also ensure that no one firm gets bogged down with multiple projects.
Therefore, this work authorization contract with Baker Aicklen & Associates, Inc. in the amount of $100,000 will
allow for work on various bottleneck projects in Round Rock. This contract will expire on December 31, 2014.
Cost: $100,000
