The design funding for the BS 114L project is part of the 1998 G. O. Bond Program and
represents the City's participation in this much needed project. This participation is
similar to our participation in the Northwest Highway Project. The physical
improvements, currently funded for 2003, will principally include paving and drainage
improvements with some water and wastewater system adjustments. The project will
extend from State Highway 114 at the south end, through the improved railroad crossing
to Wall Street.
The City of Grapevine is funding the design of BS 114L while TxDOT and NCTCOG are
funding the construction of the paving and drainage improvements. Nathan D. Maier
Consulting Engineers will prepare the engineering plans for the paving and drainage
construction in accordance with TxDOT requirements. Construction plans for the water
and wastewater modifications will be in accordance with City standards and
January 9, 2001 (2:19PM)
requirements. The engineering services contract has been reviewed and approved by
TxDOT to assure that the roadway and drainage design will meet their requirements.
In the past, Nathan D. Maier Consulting Engineers has prepared extensive topographic
surveys and drainage studies in this area of BS 114L. This work was completed as part
of the design for Minters Chapel Road and associated drainage improvements to
Cottonwood Branch. They were selected for this project from a group of engineering
firms who were invited to submit proposals and interview with the Staff Selection
Committee.
The total contract sum of $536,525 is separated into Basic Services and Special
Services. Their fee proposal for Basic Services of $ 297,530 falls well below the
Engineering Fee Curves for this type of project. The Special Services fee proposal of
$238,995 is a "not to exceed" figure that will be utilized as necessary on an hourly basis.
Staff recommends approval.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
City is providing the design for widening of BS 114L from Northwest Highway to Highway 114. The proposed
section of BS 114L extends from the intersection of Northwest Highway and Ruth Wall Street south to SH 114. This
roadway is proposed to be constructed as a four -lane divided section from Northwest Highway to Dallas Road and a
six -lane divided section from Dallas Road to SH 114. As was the case with Northwest Highway, the City hiring a
consultant to design these improvements will increase the chances of the roadway to be included in near term TEA -21
funding for construction.
