Requested Action
Consider a Resolution approving an amendment to the contract for design services with Wier & Associates for Heritage Parkway (S. Main St. to Commerce Dr.) Westbound Lanes Reconstruction for an amount not to exceed $14,400.00.
Recommendation
The Engineering Staff recommends approval of the Resolution.
Description/History
The original contract with Wier & Associates was approved on August 10, 2020 with Resolution 3669-20, to design the pavement reconstruction for the Heritage Pkwy. Westbound Lanes project in the amount of $140,000.00. In accordance with the Bicycle Master Plan, this project will include an eight-foot sidewalk on the north side of Heritage Pkwy. as a sidepath to accommodate both bicyclists and pedestrians. It has been determined that the eight-foot sidewalk cannot fit within the existing Heritage Pkwy. right-of-way and that twelve sidewalk easements adjacent to the existing right-of-way need to be prepared and acquired from the adjacent property owners.
This amendment is for the preparation of the sidewalk easement documents. It is anticipated that the easements will be acquired from the adjacent property owners, all commercial businesses, at no cost.
Justification
The preparation of easements is necessary to accommodate construction of the proposed sidewalk.
The Director of Public Works will be in attendance at the meeting to answer Council’s questions regarding the proposed funding and contracts.
