The 2020 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) outlines the Unbridled Avenue Project, CIF-20-014, which includes the construction of the following improvements: public roadway, storm sewer, storm water treatment ponds, sidewalk, trail, street lighting, landscaping and irrigation system located along existing Barenscheer Boulevard and connecting to the intersection of County Road 83 at Valley Industrial Boulevard South.

The City Council adopted Resolution R2020-014 on February 18, 2020,  approving the plans and specifications, and authorized bidding of the project. The public bidding process is complete and the low bid is anticipated to be awarded on April 21, 2020, (tonight) by the City Council.

Upon awarding the project and due to current city staff workload, assistance is needed from a consultant to provide the construction management, inspection services and surveying during the construction phase of the project. SRF Consulting Group, Inc., provided the design services for the project, and likewise, city staff worked with them to develop a scope of work needed to deliver in-construction assistance for  the project. SRF Consulting Group, Inc., has the experience, technical skill and capacity to provide the needed services and is a firm in the city's approved consultant pool. The attached professional services agreement authorizes and describes the scope and fees for their work on this project.

The scope of SRF's work is proposed to cost (not to exceed) $668,167 plus approval of a five percent contingency above the agreement amount to cover potential changes and additional costs as part of their in-construction services. This work is budgeted in the 2020 Capital Improvement Fund as part of the Canterbury Commons Development Tax Increment Funding.
