Discussion and Action: Agreement for Professional Services for the Programming, Design, CMAR Management and Construction Management of the Second Bridge to NV 5 of Arizona (Mike Wolfe)
Body
FUNDING SOURCE:
CIP-Grant - Legislative Funding
PURPOSE:
To consider the award of an Agreement for Professional Services (Agreement 500522) for the design and construction management of the new Second Bridge in accordance with City Code §§ 3.10.010.2 (A.R.S. Title 34) and 3.10.030.1.
BACKGROUND:
Through a legislative appropriation, championed by State Representative Leo Biasiucci and State Senator Sonny Borrelli, $35.5 million is available for the design and construction of a second bridge connecting the Island to the mainland in Lake Havasu City, for the purpose of improving safety and providing for an additional emergency evacuation route.
The design footprint runs along London Bridge Road to South Palo Verde Boulevard, and across the channel to McCulloch Boulevard. The design project consists of bridge design, planning for new and existing roads to and from the bridge, and the relocation of utility lines placed under or in the bridge, which are currently located under the Bridgewater Channel.
Funds are included in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the design and construction of the facility. Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) is the delivery method which entails a commitment by the Construction Manager to deliver the project within a Guaranteed Maximum Price.
The City solicited and reviewed Statements of Qualifications submittals from three prospective Architectural/Engineering firms. The review committee ultimately selected NV 5 of Arizona as the most qualified firm to do business with Lake Havasu City.
The City successfully negotiated a full services scope and fee for Programming, Design, CMAR Management, and Construction Management in the amount of $6,623,065 which is reasonable for a complex design project.
COMMUNITY IMPACT:
A second bridge will improve safety and provide for an additional emergency evacuation route.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are allocated and available in the FY 2024-25 CIP utilizing funding from the 2024 Legislative Appropriation Transportation Projects Grant.
