body
Purpose
The purpose of this memo is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning Amendment No. 1 to the professional services agreement (COF Contract No. 2014-0087) with Civil Infrastructure Associates for surveying services for the SR-96 East Sidewalk Project.
Background
As part of Resolution 2014-13, A Resolution to Adopt the Funding Plan for the FYI 2014-2018 CIP (Capital Investment Program) the Board approved $550,300 for a sidewalk project from Pinkerton Park to Mack Hatcher Parkway along Murfreesboro Road (SR-96E). On February 19, 2015 and March 4, 2015 public hearings were held to obtain feedback from affected residents and the general public. The project was well supported with the majority of people in favor of the project. Area residents requested consideration of the following items:
1) Replace the sidewalk with a multi-use trail to accommodate pedestrians and bicycles.
2) Add bike lanes to both sides of the roadway.
3) Add streetscape elements to the project.
Staff presented the following options to the Capital Investment Committee (CIC) of the BOMA on April 23, 2015, and to the BOMA at the May 12, 2015. It was determined that staff should move forward with the project as a multi-use trail and host additional public meetings following the final design. The revised design will include an open ditch with a 10’ trail along the frontage of Murfreesboro Road (SR-96E). In addition, the trail will connect into Pinkerton Park and will not parallel Murfreesboro Road (SR-96E) in front of Pinkerton Park. The estimate total project cost is approximately $1,360,000.
Financial Impact
It is anticipated that funding for this project will come from the Capital Project Fund.
Recommendation
rec
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 1 to the professional services agreement (COF 2014-0087) with Civil Infrastructure Associates for surveying services for the SR-96 East Sidewalk Project in the Amount of $11,950.
