Recommendation
Motion to Approve Service Authorization No.12-17 with Wantman Group, Inc. in the amount not to exceed of $163,748.35 for the preparation of design documents for roadway reconstruction of Barwick Road from the southerly right-of-way line of Lake Ida Road to the northerly right-of-way line of Atlantic Avenue.
Body
Background:
On January 24, 2012 the City entered into an Agreement with Wantman Group for general engineering consulting services (RFQ 2016-06). On December 13, 2016, Commission approved Amendment No. 4 extending the Agreement through June 30, 2017.
The Roadway Reconstruction Project was approved in the Five Year Capital Improvements Plan and funds were appropriated by the City Commission for the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 budget. Specific road segments are selected for reconstruction based on the 2013 Pavement Management System Report which establishes the Overall Condition Index (OCI). This worst section of Barwick Road was rated with an OCI of 31 in 2013. The remaining sections being recommended for reconstruction scored less than 50. Transportation Program staff have recommended that all roadways with an OCI below 42 be considered for reconstruction because they are deemed potentially unsafe for drivers due to the extent of roadway damage. Roadway reconstruction projects will include the design of utility infrastructure improvements (water, wastewater, reclaimed, and stormwater), striping and signing, and lighting plans. The total compensation for the services provided under this contract is anticipated to be in the amount of $163,748.35.
This recommendation complies with the City Code of Ordinances, Section 36.06(A) (2), "Within the Scope of Work".
