Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: David Fine, Economic Development Specialist SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to sign Amendment No. 2 for Task Order No. 3 for Right of Way Acquisition for the North 7th Avenue Lighting and Sidewalk Project
MEETING DATE: June 27, 2016
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment 2 to Task Order No. 3 for the Professional Services Agreement with DOWL to provide Right-of-Way acquisition services for public access and utility easements to facilitate the completion of the North 7th Ave. Lighting and Sidewalk Project.
BACKGROUND: The Bozeman Midtown Urban Renewal Board (MURB) has been utilizing the existing Public Works Department contract for right-of-way acquisition to acquire public access and utility easements to facilitate the completion of the North Seventh Lighting and Sidewalk Project. Staff has been working very effectively with DOWL on this project, but it has taken more time than expected to negotiate with landowners. DOWL has effectively obtained 17 donated easements on this project during their past year of work, which is far less than the cost of purchasing these easements. In an effort to proactively acquire the right-of-way needed to make road and intersection improvements to the transportation network, public works and engineering solicited proposals from engineering firms interested in providing that service on a term contract basis. DOWL responded to this request and was selected to provide these services to the city. The contract was written to allow the issuance of task orders for each separate acquisition to be pursued. Fees for each acquisition will be on a time and materials basis.

ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the Commission. FISCAL EFFECTS: The extension of this task order is $19,335, which is within the amount allotted for this activity in the Fiscal Year 2017 Work Plan and Budget.
