SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Approve a Master Agreement and Work Order from Atkins North America, Inc., of Tampa, FL, for design and bidding of Phase I of the Fort Harrison Avenue Corridor Improvements Project (19-0036-EN) in the amount of $2,767,677.32, per Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 04-21, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
Body
SUMMARY:
The potable water, wastewater collection, and stormwater systems along Fort Harrison are aging beyond their useful life and must be replaced. This project will replace those systems, including construction of a new reclaimed water main, followed by roadway reconstruction and potential implementation of mobility enhancements.
March 2021, Atkins was selected as Engineer of Record (EOR) through RFQ #04-21, from which seven submittals were received. The selection committee consisted of representatives from the Engineering and Planning Departments.
This initial design effort will cover the northern portion of Ft. Harrison Avenue, from the “apex” where Ft. Harrison Avenue intersects Myrtle Avenue, south to Jones Street. The estimated construction value for this phase is approximately $22.5 million. The remaining corridor construction estimate is $44 million.
The project scope includes utility design (potable water, wastewater collection, stormwater, and reclaimed water), roadway design, intersection evaluations that may lead to temporary demonstration projects and associated public outreach, in addition to recommending means of incorporating green infrastructure and sustainability to align with Greenprint 2.0.
Atkins will prepare the design drawings, specifications, cost estimates, permits, and provide bidding support.
Design is expected to take 1.5 years.
