The current Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes the Quarry Lake Park Improvements (see attached CIP summary sheets PR-21-006). This project includes the design and construction of park roadway access improvements.

City staff needs assistance from an engineering consultant to complete the design services for this project. City staff have worked with Confluence to develop a scope of work and professional services agreement needed to deliver the project. Confluence has included AE2S as a subconsultant to assist them. Confluence and their team have the experience, technical skills and capacity to provide the needed services and is part of 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 the Confluence Professional Services Agreement is proposed to cost (not to exceed) $67,549. The project work is budgeted in the 2020 and 2021 Parks Development Fund.

It should be noted that in accordance with the recent license agreement with Xcel Energy approved by City Council on April 7, 2020, for the city's use of their property for the proposed Quarry Lake mountain bike facility, that Xcel Energy also indicated their willingness to fund a portion of the park road to accommodate their use and a new driveway for their facility. More funding details will be provided as the project progresses and in advance of proceeding with construction.
