TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Andrew Zagars, P.E., City Engineer
SUBJECT: Authorize the execution of Contract Amendment No. 1 with Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc. for the Featherline Road Reconstruction Project
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
This project was discussed at the City Council meeting on September 17, 2024, during the future bond discussion. During the meeting, the Council selected projects to be included in a Certificate of Obligation (CO) Bond for early 2025. The reconstruction of Featherline Road was included in those projects. The reconstruction of Featherline Road was also the topic in several meetings related to development along the roadway. The pubic expressed a strong interest in the project. As a result, staff proposed to move forward with the design of the Featherline Road project prior to the start of the bond process. This sped up the timeline of the design and start of construction.
On January 7, 2025, the City Council approved the design contract with Kimley Horn Associates Inc, in the amount of $1,833,873.00. The project includes replacement of the existing two-lane roadway with a 3-lane road, (one lane of traffic each way with center turn-lanes and median) between Stagecoach Road and Chaparral Road. The project will construct sidewalks, street trees, and lighting along the entire length. This project will include the installation of a 12-inch water main, which is a project included in the proposed 2025 Water Master Plan and stormwater improvements. Also included in this project is the improvement of the intersection of Featherline Road and Malmaison Road. The improvement will include either a roundabout or signalized intersection.
During the design it was determined that the waterline replacement needed to be extended beyond the intersection with Featherline Road to the west to the intersection of W.S. Young. This contract amendment will provide the necessary design to install the new waterline up to W.S Young.
