|
| | | | | | | | Agenda Title:
Council action is requested to authorize the City Manager to approve an acquisition services contract with Allen Skeens for an amount not to exceed $58,520, authorizing future minor change orders for an amount not to exceed $5,800, for the 24 Highway Complete Streets Phase 1 Improvements (Project No. 111801). |
| | | | | | | | Recommendations:
Council approval is recommended. |
| | | | | | | | Executive Summary:
A MODOT approved acquisition agent is required for negotiating prices and terms with property owners for any federally funded project. For this project, execution of the necessary documents to grant access for construction via general utility easements, temporary construction and grading easements, and conveyance of rights-of-way for the 24 Highway Complete Streets Phase 1 Improvements (Project No. 111801). Approval of this contract will allow Mr. Skeens to complete this work without delays to the project. |
| | | | | | | | Background:
Mr. Skeens has previously been the provider of these services for the City when staffing or time constraints for the project have not afforded the City time to complete these tasks by the project deadlines. His familiarity with both City and MODOT processes make him the ideal candidate to accomplish this work. The scope of this work will cover a minimum of 67 tracts of land at $700 per tract, and minor work on several other tracts. The easements and acquisitions in this area are a necessary step in allowing City Staff to move this project forward. |
