Background and Analysis:
Since the acceptance of the Downtown Strategy by the City Council, staff has advanced the concepts for improving four downtown streets including Franklin Street. On Franklin Street, a full reconstruction of the road from 5th Avenue to State Street is planned, including concrete pavement; upgraded underground utilities; new traffic signals; new sidewalks; bulb-outs at intersections; improved lighting; landscaping; and public art. This project also includes underground utility improvements and an asphalt overlay from Legion Way to 5th Avenue.
Under separate action, Council is considering awarding a construction contract for the Franklin Street Improvements project. Due to the complexity of this project and its location in downtown, staff needs assistance to properly oversee construction. The design consultant currently under contract, KPG, has the most knowledge of the project and can most efficiently help the City manage its construction.
The original Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with KPG was executed on April 10, 2017. The PSA provided for the preliminary design of the Legion Way and Franklin Street improvement projects. Upon reaching 30% design, Amendment 1 was executed to complete the designs for both streets. Amendment 2 was executed to extend the contract term in order to complete the designs. KPG provided limited construction management support services for the Legion Way project utilizing their on-call contract with the City.
Amendment No. 3 to the original PSA will add additional budget of $472,611.50 for construction management support services throughout the upcoming construction of the Franklin Street project.
Neighborhood/Community Interests:
None.
Options:
1. Approve a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign Amendment No. 3 to the Professional Services Agreement with KPG, P.S., for Construction Management Services for the Franklin Street Improvements project. The City will receive the help necessary to properly oversee a complex downtown project.
2. Do not approve a Resolution authorizing Construction Management Services for the Franklin Street Improvements project. City staff will only be able to provide limited construction oversight, increasing the risk for costly construction issues downtown.
Financial Impact:
Transportation Capital Funds will fund this project. There are sufficient funds in the budget to complete this project.
