Action
Requested: Approve an Engineering Services Agreement (ESA) with KSA
Engineers, Inc. (KSA) to provide preliminary engineering design
services for phase 1 and 2 of the East Dove Road Sidewalk
Improvement Project in an amount not to exceed $85,000.
Background
Information: This project aims to make sidewalk improvements along East Dove
Road from Lonesome Dove Road to Heather Lane. The proposed
improvements involve the addition of a minimum 5-foot width
sidewalk to connect with the existing pedestrian facilities in the area.
Initiated in response to residents' concerns about pedestrian safety
throughout the community, this project was integrated into the
Pathways Master Plan Update in December 2021. The new sidewalk
is a key component of a complete sidewalk network that will support
connectivity throughout our community. The City acknowledges the
need for this sidewalk from a connectivity standpoint, driven and
further supported by valuable feedback from residents.
This contract incorporates conceptual plans and on-site surveys with
the goal of determining alignment and feasibility of proposed
sidewalk improvements. Executing the sidewalk project may require
investigations in small areas in order to complete the design. The
agreement amount for preliminary engineering design is not to
exceed $85,000. Construction of this project is intended to be
phased.
Financial
Considerations: Funding for the agreement is budgeted in the FY 2024 Capital
Improvements Program. This award is within the project budget. This
scope includes on-site survey work, estimated at $39,280,
conceptual design at $37,050, and $8,670 in contingency.
