The current Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes the 2023 Eagle Creek Blvd/Vierling Drive Roundabout Project, CIF-20-014. This project includes the design, easement acquisition, relocation of overhead power lines to underground,  reconstruction of roadway, storm sewer, sidewalk, trail, street lighting, and construction of a roundabout located at the intersection of Eagle Creek Boulevard and Vierling Drive (see attached CIP summary sheet, project No. 4). Construction of the project is proposed to be pushed to 2024 to minimize overlapping traffic congestion issues with the current CSAH 83 reconstruction project; however, the advancement of the design of the project is being requested now to provide adequate time for project design and easement acquisition.

City staff needs assistance from a design consultant to complete the project. City staff has worked with SRF Consulting Group, Inc., to develop a scope of work needed to deliver the project. SRF Consulting Group, Inc., has the experience, technical skill, and capacity to provide the needed services and is a firm included in the city's approved consultant pool. The attached Professional Services Agreement authorizes and describes the scope and fee for their needed work on this project.

The scope of SRF's work is proposed to cost (not to exceed) $269,889. This work is budgeted in the 2022 Capital Improvement Fund as part of the Canterbury Commons Development Tax Increment Funding.
