Requested Action
Approval of the Resolution
Recommendation
The Engineering Staff recommends the approval of a contract with Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc. for a Master Thoroughfare Plan and Roadway Impact Fee Study update
Description/History
The Roadway Impact Fee and Master Thoroughfare Plan were last updated in November 2009. Texas Local Government Code mandates a roadway impact fee update be performed at least every 5 years to determine the roadways and roadway capacities needed to support future growth. In conjunction with the roadway impact fee update, the Master Thoroughfare Plan will be updated to determine the need, location and number of lanes of new and existing roadways to support growth. An updated thoroughfare plan is a key component in the determination of the roadway impact fee.
Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc. was the engineering consultant that performed the last update.
Justification
The mandated 5 year update period will end in November 2014. The roadway impact fee update process must begin prior to that date.
The Engineering Staff makes the recommendation for Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc. to perform the roadway impact fee and thoroughfare plan update study for a lump sum fee of $84,000. This fee is fair, reasonable and comparable to those charged for said work in this area.
The City Engineer will be in attendance at the meeting to answer Council's questions regarding the proposed project.
