Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: James Goehrung, Superintendent of Facilities
Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Downtown Intermodal Facility Civil Work
MEETING DATE: January 29, 2007
BACKGROUND: In order to fully qualify for the federal transit funds earmarked for the
Downtown Parking Garage the Streamline bus system is now tied directly into the parking
garage. The current design calls for a formal transfer hub on the Mendenhall frontage of the
garage. The hub includes a covered waiting area for bus riders and street side modifications that
include a bus staging area and a pedestrian island to separate the passengers from the traffic
lanes.
The existing contract for engineering services stopped at the curb line. The transit stop will
require some addition survey and design work to integrate the transit features into the design.
The scope of work includes additional survey work to determine street elevations, geometric and
drainage designs of the revised sidewalk and bus lane, and the associated adjustments to the
street lighting, pedestrian lighting and landscape plan.
Attached is a contract with and estimated fee for services in the amount of $10,000.00. The
work will be done on a time and materials basis.

RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to sign the contract for additional
services with Morrison and Maiere, Inc. to address the transit component of the Downtown
Intermodal Facility.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Engineering services for this project are to be paid with both Tax
Increment dollars and the federal earmark from the Federal Transit Administration.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
