SUBJECT: STATE HIGHWAY 42/SHORT STREET GEOMETRIC IMPROVEMENTS <br />DATE: JULY 23, 2019 <br />PAGE 3 OF 5 <br />BOULDER COUNTY IGA: <br />On May 7, 2019, Council approved an IGA with Boulder County that will provide up to <br />$1.8 million in Transportation Sales tax funds as local match for two projects on SH 42. <br />Boulder County will contribute up to $850,000 towards the construction of the SH 42 <br />Underpass and up to $1,000,000 towards the construction of the SH 42 and Short St. <br />Geometric Improvements on a reimbursement basis. <br />CONSULTANT ADDENDUM: <br />On November 3, 2015, Council approved a contract with KDG for geometric design <br />improvements of State Highway 42 and Short Street. Much of the consultant's budget <br />was used for re -designs based on CDOT and City Council direction, however there are <br />sufficient funds remaining in the KDG contract to cover construction administration <br />services. <br />On November 3, 2015, City Council approved a contract amendment with STS for <br />design services related to installation of a traffic signal for State Highway 42 and Short <br />Street. Much of the consultant's budget was used for re -designs based on CDOT and <br />City Council direction. The requested consultant addendum of $4,529.00 will fund <br />construction administration services if needed. <br />CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT: <br />CDOT will not permit the City to use KDG as both the design consultant and the <br />construction management consultant due to conflict of interest regulations. In 2018, <br />Staff requested proposals from consultants for construction management services <br />which consists of daily on -site inspections, coordination with contractors, coordination <br />with affected businesses, material testing per CDOT requirements, material <br />documentation per CDOT requirements, and documentation close out with CDOT. <br />Staff received and reviewed seven proposals. The selection committee evaluated the <br />proposals based on knowledge, cost, experience with similar projects and <br />understanding of the scope. Based on these review criteria, Staff ranked Michael Baker <br />first. The selected consultant is not the low bidder; however, Michael Baker has the best <br />understanding of the scope including time commitments for inspections with realist <br />costs for management and documentation of a CDOT administered project. Michael <br />Baker also provided construction management services for the federally funded County <br />Road Bridge Replacement project. <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />
