To consider approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Engineering Professional Services Agreement (500665) to include additional services of advanced training, Unit Cost and Decision Tree Module, and (GIS) Street Sign Inventory in accordance with City Code § 3.10.010.2 (Technical Registrant).
BACKGROUND:
The Streets Division completed a Pavement Management Program that included data collection, pavement administration, existing pavement management section limits and areas, an automated pavement condition survey, and a review of maintenance and rehabilitation history, in coordination with Nichols Consulting Engineers.
City staff must now train and educate employees in the use of Street Saver so they can generate the most accurate, scientific, and reliable data the system is capable of producing, including the maintenance and inventory of street signs. This will ensure that City management and Council receive well-informed information, enabling sound decisions regarding the maintenance and care of the roadways and all assets within the public rights-of-way.
COMMUNITY IMPACT:
Road preservation and maintenance will provide smoother roadways for the community. Proper analysis of underlying causes of deterioration will lead to more cost-effective solutions.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $88,900 are available in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 HURF operating budget.
ATTACHMENTS:
Amendment No. 1
SUGGESTED MOTION:Recommended action
I move to approve Amendment No. 1 to the Engineering Professional Services Agreement with Nichols Consulting Engineers in the amount of $88,900 for additional services.
