Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Bob Murray, Project Engineer
Rick Hixson, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Durston and Cottonwood Road Improvements Project Professional
Services Agreement
MEETING DATE: January 5th, 2015
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Approve and authorize City Manager to sign the Professional Services Agreement with Robert Peccia and Associates.
BACKGROUND: Attached is a copy of the partially executed Professional Services
Agreement with Robert Peccia and Associates for the Durston and Cottonwood Road
Improvements Project. The document is in the City’s standard format.
Durston Road is designated as a minor arterial and Cottonwood Road a principal arterial in the Greater Bozeman Area Transportation Plan. Currently, neither is constructed to its full width
along various sections within the City. This project was originally to complete the design of the
full width of Cottonwood from Baxter to Oak, and Durston from Fowler to the western City
limits. Since then, the project has been expanded to include Cottonwood from Oak to Baxter and
Baxter from Cottonwood to Flanders Mill. These are the frontages of the future sports complex. The project will complete the design of these corridors including intersection control at all major
intersections. Construction will be completed in the future when funds become available.
These services were procured through the City’s consultant selection process. A Request for
Proposals was published in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle on August 17th and 31st, with the
proposals being due on September 12th. Proposals were received from 4 firms on the project which were distributed to a selection committee of 5 city employees. The written proposals
were scored by the selection committee, interviews were held with 2 of the firms, and Robert
Peccia and Associates was selected the most qualified to complete the project.
The current contract is for the predesign services and few preliminary design tasks (surveying,
geotech, stormwater, and wetland delineation) included. In this phase the consultant will review, compare, and contrast the installation of a signal versus a roundabout at all of the major
47
intersections. This phase will culminate with a presentation to the City Commission to decide
which method of control will be implemented at each intersection. After that decision is made,
an amendment will be negotiated to add the design and construction phase services.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission
FISCAL EFFECTS: $114,232.00 from the Street Impact Fee Fund.
Attachments: Professional Services Agreement
