Discussion:

A developer is proposing a large industrial development west of Stagecoach Road, east of 70th Street and south of County Road 101, Capital Improvement Plan Project CIF-21-008. A traffic impact study conducted for the development showed operational issues at the intersections surrounding the site and mitigation required to accommodate the development. The study recommended a roundabout on Stagecoach Road, south of the County Road 101 intersection to serve as the primary access for the proposed development. This project includes design and construction of a roundabout as well as a small portion of street and cul-de-sac to serve the development. In addition to the roadway design and construction there will be utility construction completed as part of this project.

 

As this project is necessary to accommodate development on this site, the developer will be responsible for all costs related to this project. Prior to beginning work on the project the city will collect the full proposal amount from the developer and deposit it into a project account that will be used to pay project related invoices.

 

City staff will need assistance from a design consultant to complete the project. City staff has worked with WSB and Associates to develop a scope of work needed to deliver the project. WSB and Associates and their team have the experience, technical skill, and capacity to provide the needed services and is an approved firm included in the city's consultant pool. The attached Professional Services Agreement authorizes and describes the scope and fees for their work on this project.

Budget Impact:

The scope of the WSB and Associates Professional Services Agreement is proposed to cost (not to exceed) $282,884.00. The project is being fully funded by the developer of the adjacent land and no direct costs will be borne by the city.
