COMMENTS:  Funding is available for this item in the 2018-19 and expected in the 2019-20 Capital Maintenance Fund Budget.  Construction of the Bob Woodruff Southeast Trail Replacement project, in the amount of $85,000, will leave a balance of $662,856 available for future trail repair or other park maintenance project expenditures.

SUMMARY OF ITEM


This design project is for removal and replacement of approximately 0.3-miles of poor concrete recreational trail at Bob Woodruff Park, southeast of Park Boulevard. The trail has been damaged by numerous flooding events, is threatened by adjacent creek erosion, and does not meet current trail construction standards. The trail is located within the floodplain of Rowlett Creek.

 

JBI Partners, Inc. is on the list of qualified consultants for Bicycle and Pedestrian Facility Design and Engineering (RFQ 2017-0281-X). The total contract fee is $85,000, which includes a topographic survey, preliminary design and alignment, construction plans and administrative services during the construction phase of the project, a flood study and FEMA Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) submittal.

 

The $85,000 fee is 13.1% of the $650,000 total project budget for the trail replacement. The fee is consistent with other projects of this size and scope when including the flood study and LOMR submittal.

 

In the event this expenditure is not approved, the City will not be able to address the nearby erosion encroachment threatening the trail, the drainage issues nor the non-compliant areas of the trail.
