Body
BACKGROUND
On April 10, 2019, City Council authorized a professional services contract with Bridgefarmer & Associates Inc., for the engineering design of paving, street widening, bicycle facilities, storm drainage, and water and wastewater improvements for the Thoroughfare Improvement Project, South Ewing Avenue from Interstate Highway (IH) 35E to East Clarendon Drive by Resolution No. 19-0493.
During the design of the South Ewing Avenue Project, a drainage study and analysis was performed to determine the necessary drainage improvements near the intersection of South Ewing Avenue and East Clarendon Drive. The study concluded that the intersection was below the Cedar Creek 100-year flood elevation. The engineer will design a new bridge or culvert over Cedar Creek crossing South Ewing Avenue and East Clarendon Drive to raise the roadways and the intersection above the 100-year flood elevation. Consequently, it was necessary to include the East Clarendon Drive Project as part of the project design. In addition, due to the drainage improvements to Cedar Creek, it is necessary to provide environmental engineering services.
On May 13, 2020, City Council authorized Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to the professional services contract with Bridgefarmer & Associates, Inc. to provide additional engineering design services for paving, drainage, curb and gutter, sidewalks, and water and wastewater improvements on East Clarendon Drive from South Ewing Avenue to Upton Street and to provide additional environmental engineering services for South Ewing Avenue from IH-35E to East Clarendon Drive by Resolution No. 20-0717.
This action will authorize Supplemental Agreement No. 2 to the professional services contract with Bridgefarmer & Associates, Inc. to provide additional engineering design services for paving, drainage, curb and gutter, and sidewalks on East Clarendon Drive from South Ewing Avenue to Upton Street and to provide additional environmental engineering services for South Ewing Avenue from IH-35E to East Clarendon Drive.
