Action
Requested: Approve an Architectural/Engineering Services Agreement with
RPGA Design Group, Inc. (RPGA) to provide design services for
the Southlake Municipal Service Center an amount not to exceed
$2,000,000.
Background
Information: The current Service Center facility, located on East Continental
Boulevard, is in close proximity to residents, thus limiting the use of
the entire equipment yard footprint for operations and storage. The
City has recently acquired property located at Brumlow Avenue for
the new Service Center facility. The future use of the current
Service Center site is to be determined upon direction from Council.
The Brumlow Avenue property will allow for a larger Service Center
facility and equipment yard, to accommodate the Public Works
Department, as well as other City divisions. The property is also in
closer proximity to other industrial sites and away from residential
properties than the current location, reducing potential noise and
disturbances.
The scope of services includes validate/update existing building
programming (Municipal Service Center and yard layout), assist
with the selection of a general contractor, structural engineering, all
site and building engineering, topographic and utility surveying,
environmental assessment, and construction phase services.
Financial
Considerations: Funding for this agreement is budgeted as part of the approved
Capital Improvement Program. This agreement is within the project
budget.
