4. Council Bill/Resolution 1107-2016
A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a Preliminary Engineering Services Agreement with Missman Inc. for professional services related to the Federal Grant Resurfacing Project.
Explanation: The City of Moline is the recipient of $2,839,190 in Federal transportation funds to resurface River Drive from 23rd – 34th Streets, 12th Avenue from 34th – 53rd Streets, and 16th Street from John Deere Road – 52nd Avenue. The City must provide a 20% match to the grant funds which brings the total estimated project cost to $3,555,900. Current workloads prevent City staff from performing the required Phase 1 engineering services. Missman Inc. is currently performing Phase 1 engineering services work on a similar project for another local community. Given Missman’s recent experience with this type of work and the City’s past satisfactory relationship with Missman, staff finds Missman Inc. to be the most qualified firm to provide these Phase 1 engineering services. Missman Inc. proposes to provide Phase 1 engineering services at standard hourly rates for the not-to-exceed price of $252,059. This represents 7.1% of the estimated construction contract value. Staff has reviewed the proposal and finds the estimated 2,116 man hours to be reasonable given the scope of the work required.
Fiscal Impact: This is an unbudgeted expense; however, sufficient Motor Fuel Tax funds are available.
