On April 10,2006, the City Council approved the plans and specifications for the
project and authorized advertisement for bids. Bids were received on June 2,
2006. The award of the construction contract for the improvements is on the
agenda for the June 12,2006 City Council meeting.
DISCUSSION
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) has provided all of the past
design and construction engineering services for the 2005 MUSA Expansion
improvements. Staff has solicited a proposal from Kimley-Horn for construction
phase services for the Bluff Creek Boulevard Improvements. These services
include construction administration, inspection, staking, and quality control
testing.
It is staff's opinion that these construction phase services should be performed by
Kimley-Horn due to the following:
. The quality of their previous services for the 2005 MUSA area.
. Their knowledge and background of the project area.
. Their knowledge of the property owners/developers in the project area.
. The tight schedule required to allow these improvements to proceed to meet
the needs of the area property owners/developers.
. They are already working in the project area providing construction phase
services for the TH 212 project and private development improvements
adjacent to Bluff Creek Boulevard.
Kimley-Horn's estimated cost for the Bluff Creek Boulevard construction phase
services is as follows:
Work Task
1. Construction Administration and Inspection
2. Construction Staking
3. Quality Control Testing

Reimbursable Expenses

$ 50,000
$ 40,000
$ 466,000
$ 22,600
$ 1,000
$ 489,600
These services will be performed on a time and materials basis not to exceed
$489,600. The hourly rates Kimley-Horn and Associates are proposing are the
same as for their previous preliminary design, final design, and construction phase
work tasks and they are competitive with other consulting firms. They will be

required to submit time sheets verifying the hours worked on the project. Staff
will review these time sheets for accuracy.
The estimated cost for the construction inspection and staking services is
approximately 10% of the project construction cost, which is very typical for
projects of this nature. Funding for these construction phase services is included
in the overall project budget and will be provided primarily by assessments to the
benefiting property owners as identified in the Bluff Creek Boulevard
Improvements feasibility study.
