Recommendation
Motion to approve the First Amendment to Service Authorization No. 12-19 to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $6,326.36 for professional design services for sidewalk improvements within the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) associated with Project No. 16-002/CRA Sidewalks FY 2016.

This service authorization includes engineering design, permitting, surveying, and bidding services for construction of the 5’ wide concrete sidewalks with associated swales.
During the design of this project it was discovered that publicly owned right-of-way was not available to place sidewalks on a segment of NW 7th Avenue between NW 3rd Street and NW 2nd Street as included in the project concept.The proposed service authorization will authorize the design of sidewalks to be located on the west side of NW 8th Avenue from Atlantic Avenue to NW 2nd Street (approximately 1,200 feet) to replace the NW 7th Avenue segment.
The City utilized engineering consultants that were retained via RFQ #2012-06 (City Project #12-057). Kimley-Horn and Associate's annual contract is valid through January 2017. The recommendation for award is in compliance with Code of Ordinances, Section 36....
