Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing a professional services agreement with Kimley-Horn, to prepare a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) to analyze and evaluate the street lighting needs related to the FM 518 Street Lighting from I-45 to FM 270 Intersection Project (ST2603) in an amount not to exceed $72,500 (Executive Director of Capital Projects)
Background:
Approval of this resolution will authorize a professional services agreement with Kimley-Horn to prepare a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) to analyze and evaluate the street lighting needs related to the FM 518 Street Lighting from I-45 to FM 270 Intersection Project (ST2603) in an amount not to exceed $72,500. This lighting system will be including but not limited to: the placement, system design, style/height of lights and poles, constructability, system efficiency, conformance with TxDOT permitting requirements.
This corridor is approximately 13,000 feet in length. The City desires to install decorative streetlight/banner poles, luminaires, conduit and wiring along this corridor. Because FM 518 is a TxDOT facility, the proposed lighting improvements will require coordination with TxDOT to ensure compliance with their requirements. Furthermore, coordination with Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) is required for electrical services. The City will be responsible for maintenance and operation of the system. The PER scope includes a photometric analysis of the corridor, conceptual options for lighting design with various placements, height, spacing, fixtures and poles, and costs. Future design and installation phases will be separated into Phase 1 - SH 3 to FM 270 and Phase 2 - IH 45 to SH 3.
The Preliminary Engineering phase is anticipated to take approximately four to six months, excluding review and approval periods by the City, TxDOT, and TNMP. Kimley-Horn tasks and fees are outlined as follows:
