MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 6, 2009
SUBJECT: EULESS-GRAPEVINE/STONE MYERS PARKWAY
ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT AMENDMENT
RECOMMENDATION: -
City Council consider approving Amendment # 2 to the Euless Grapevine/Stone Myers
Parkway engineering services contract with Turner, Collie and Braden, Inc. in an amount of
$23,765 for the additional design work to add sidewalks and street lighting to the project,
authorize staff to execute said amendment, and take any necessary action.
FUNDING:
Funds are available in the Euless-Grapevine Peripheral Street Fees Account Number 178-
21572.
BACKGROUND:
The initial project scope for the Euless-Grapevine/Stone Myers Parkway construction
project did not include sidewalks or street lights. These elements were removed from our
normal project scope for major street widening due to funding concerns.
The continued escalation of construction costs during the timeline for design, DFW
approval, TxDOT approval & NCTCOG approval caused staff significant concerns about
the available City funding as well as NCTCOG funding.
The very favorable bids received for the project and the added funds that the NCTCOG
provided to us for this project now enables us to proceed with the addition of sidewalks and
street lighting in the project.
The NCTCOG staff has advised us that they are supportive of the proposed sidewalks and
street lighting. Approximately 60% of the engineering fee and the construction cost will be
funded by NCTCOG and the remainder funded by the City of Grapevine in accordance with
our existing funding agreement for this project.
Staff recommends approval.
