Title
Consider and take action on a resolution approving an amendment to the professional services agreement with RPS Klotz Associates (formerly Klotz Associates, Inc.) for Five Corners Realignment Project (ST1101) to add supplemental services in an amount not to exceed $79,327.50 (Director of Public Works)
Background:
Approval of this resolution will authorize RPS Klotz Associates (RPS) to perform additional design and construction phase services related to the Five Corners Realignment Project (the “Project”). The additional design services will yield operational improvements to the traffic efficiency of the project.
In 2016, the City of League City (City) commissioned Kimley Horn and Associates (KHA) to model the traffic operation of the project as originally designed by RPS. The City also asked KHA to model the traffic operations of a geometrically modified version of the project. Subsequently a side by side comparison of the traffic operations shows that from an operational perspective the modified version of the project is superior to the one originally proposed.
Three supplemental change orders have transpired on this project. The first was authorized administratively because at the time the change order totals fell under the $50,000 threshold. This resolution will authorize the second and third supplemental change orders. The second supplemental change order is for plan changes and corrections associated with the reconciliation of two different survey datums, while the third is for the design changes associated the geometric modifications supporting the operational improvements highlighted above.
The three supplemental change orders for this project are as follows:
Supplemental CO #1 $ 49,933.75 (authorized administratively)
Supplemental CO #2 $ 49,883.75 (pending resolution)
