Consideration of Professional Services Agreement with Olsson, Inc. for design of the Lone Elm, 159th Street to 167th Street, Improvements Project, PN 3-C-076-25.

Body

________________________________________________________________________________

Summary:

This project is needed to address safety and capacity concerns in this area.  The project will improve Lone Elm Road from the existing 2-lane section to a 4-lane divided arterial section.  The improvements will tie in the existing improvements south of 159th Street and will continue through the 167th Street intersection.  Improvements will include curb and gutter, storm sewer, new pavement, medians, streetlights, storm sewer, sidewalks, a new bridge and culvert and all other work necessary to complete the project.

 

On November 4, 2024, the City advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for engineering firms to provide design services for the project. Five (5) firms responded to the RFQ.  After reviewing all the proposals, the selection committee chose Olsson, Inc. as the most qualified firm.

 

The agreement is for $1,559,108.00 and will include survey of existing conditions, utility coordination, public involvement, geotechnical exploration, acquisition documentation needed for any right-of-way or easements, preliminary and final design for all roadway and bridges, cost estimates, and assistance as needed throughout construction.

 

This project is tentatively scheduled for design in 2025/2026, land acquisition and utility relocation in 2026, and construction in 2027.
