To approve an expenditure for engineering professional services for Mendomi Park Improvements, Project No. ENG-S-00020, in the amount of $204,600 from Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc. for the Engineering Department; and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. Approved

The Engineering Department recommends approval of an expenditure in the amount of $204,600 for engineering professional services from Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc., for Mendomi Park Improvements. This project includes the design of approximately 700 linear feet of new roadway with on-street parking, sidewalk, barrier free ramps, a 12-inch water line, landscaping and irrigation, street lighting, and associated drainage improvements to serve a future park at the southeast corner of Legacy Drive and Headquarters Drive.

Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc. was deemed most qualified based on their Statement of Qualifications submission for RFQ No. 2021-0377-XR. Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc. has successful experience with the City of Plano Engineering Department for roadway, sidewalk, water line, and storm drain improvement for similar projects, including 15th Street Paving and Water Improvements from Municipal Drive to Jupiter Road near downtown Plano.

The benefit of this project includes the required city infrastructure to accommodate the addition of a new city park.

Not approving the expenditure would result in the lack of City infrastructure necessary to accommodate the new park. The required infrastructure would result in increased accessibility to the proposed park improving quality of life for local residents and businesses in this area of Plano.

Funding for this item is budgeted in the 2024-25 Street Improvements CIP and is planned for future years, as well.  Engineering professional design services for the Mendomi Park Improvements project, in the total amount of $204,600, will leave a current year balance of $30,000 for future expenditures.

Approval of this item will support the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of being an Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government.
