COMMENTS:   Funding for this item is available in the 2018-19 Street Improvements CIP and is planned for future years.  Engineering design services for the Screening Wall Replacement - Independence Parkway project, in the total amount of $304,875, will leave a project balance of $2,245,125 available for future project expenditures.

SUMMARY OF ITEM


The Engineering Department recommends approval of an expenditure in the amount of $304,875 for professional design services from White Hawk Engineering & Design, LLC for the Screening Wall Replacement - Independence Parkway - Project No. 7028.  This project includes design, bidding and construction administration services for the reconstruction of approximately 5,300 linear feet of existing masonry screening walls along the east side and west side of Independence Parkway.  The total expenditure is for $304,875.

 

White Hawk Engineering & Design, LLC was deemed most qualified based on their Statement of Qualifications submission for RFQ No. 2017-0284-X.

 

The benefit of this project includes replacing existing screening walls that are distressed.  The project also includes proposed sidewalks and ramps that meet ADA criteria and alley pavement repair as needed.

 

Not approving the expenditure would result in further disrepair of the existing screening walls, causing increased maintenance costs and a reduced quality of life for residents living along Independence Parkway.
