MEMORANDUM
March 21, 2002
To: Billy Campbell, City Manager
From: Pedram Farahnak, P.E., Director of Public Works, 481-2308
Subject: Approval of a professional services agreement with Graham
Associates, Inc. for design of the intersection improvements to FM
1709 and FM 1938 (Randol Mill Avenue).
Action Requested: Approval of a professional services agreement with Graham
Associates, Inc. for design of the intersection improvements to FM
1709 and FM 1938 (Randol Mill Avenue).
Background
Information: The Traffic Management Bond Program (TMB) approved by the
voters in May 1999, included the reconstruction of the Randol Mill
Avenue intersection with FM 1709. The preparation of
construction plans and specifications was included in the contract
with HNTB Engineering as part of the Program Management
Contract.
In August 2000, the City Council passed Resolution No. 00-74,
requesting participation by the State Department of Transportation
(TxDOT) for improvements to FM 1938 interchange at SH 114
and FM 1938 roadway improvements from SH 114 to FM 1709.
At this point, HNTB was approximately 50% complete with the
TMB intersection improvements. Since the design of FM 1938
was different than what was planned in the TMB, HNTB was
directed to stop design work on the TMB project for Randol Mill
Avenue at FM 1709.
In December 2000, the City Council authorized the City Manager
to enter into a joint professional services contract with the City of
Westlake, the City of Keller and Graham Associates, Inc. for the
purpose of developing design and construction documents for
improvements to FM 1938 interchange at SH 114 and FM 1938
roadway improvements from SH 114 to FM 1709. This
professional services contract does not include improvements to
the intersection of FM 1709 and FM 1938.
