Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Dustin Johnson, Project Engineer
Rick Hixson, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 2 to Professional Services Agreement for
North 7th Ave. Lighting Design and Construction
MEETING DATE: November 4, 2013
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Approve and authorize City Manager to sign Amendment No. 2 to
the Professional Services Agreement.
BACKGROUND: On July 11, 2010 the Bozeman City Commission approved a professional
services agreement with Morrison Maierle for the North 7th Avenue Lighting Design and
Construction. This contract was for $115,861.86 and included provisions for preliminary design,
final design, picture renderings of the proposed lights within the corridor, bidding, and
construction management services for the project.
The installation of the new lights for phase one is coming to a close and the North Seventh Urban
Renewal Board (NSURB) would like to start focusing on the installation of future phases of
lights. The challenge moving ahead are the gaps in right of way and easements in order to
provide room to install new lighting.
The intent of this professional services amendment is to determine the extents of the North 7th
right of way and easements from West Juniper (the end of the first phase lighting project) and
West Main Street. This information will be critical for the NSURB to evaluate, as they reach out
to property owners to obtain easements for the new lights.
All together the additional costs will be $24,338.56 and will include research of record surveys
and deeds at the clerk and recorders office, an on site boundary survey, and the preparation of a
final report with exhibits outlining the findings.
At their October 3rd monthly meeting NSURB recommended approval of the proposed
amendments to this professional services agreement. Engineering staff has reviewed the
amendment and found it to be acceptable.
