Amend 1 Gaston Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Brian Heaston, Project Engineer Craig Woolard, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to sign Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement for Capital Improvements Project Field Survey with Gaston Engineering and Surveying P.C. MEETING DATE: September 28, 2015 AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to sign Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement for Capital Improvements Project Field Survey with Gaston Engineering and Surveying P.C. BACKGROUND: A new site access is being constructed to the Billion auto dealership on the west side of Cottonwood Road as part of the construction project currently underway to widen Cottonwood to a full arterial standard. The new access will provide full turning movements thereby allowing left-in and left-out traffic flow for the Billion property. Prior to the current roadway improvements, Billion had two full access points onto Cottonwood Road. These existing accesses will remain; however, they are being restricted to partial turning movements, limited to right-in, right-out traffic flow, due to the construction of a raised center median with the full arterial roadway section. The new access will provide the only means for northbound traffic on Cottonwood to enter the Billion property by allowing left-in turns. There is a platted 1’ no access strip on the existing Billion property where the new full access is being constructed. The attached PSA amendment will have Gaston Engineering perform legal land survey services to prepare an amended plat to remove the 1’ no access strip from the property, thus providing legal access. Gaston Engineering completed the original plat and subsequent plat amendments for the Billion property. They are currently under contract to complete surveying services for capital improvements projects being designed by Engineering Staff so an amendment to the contract is provided herewith for the additional legal land surveying task. The PSA amendment also includes task and fee to complete an Annexation Exhibit for the Sourdough Tank property located along Sourdough Road at the intersection with Goldenstein 9 Lane. This property is currently situated in Gallatin County and is not within City Limits. The annexation of this parcel will allow for the City to undertake future improvements on the land pursuant to City of Bozeman land use regulations contained in the Bozeman Unified Development Code as opposed to be being subject to County Zoning regulations as is the current situation. FISCAL EFFECTS: Street Impact Fees for project SIF 48, widening of Cottonwood Road from Alpha to Fallon, will fund Task 1 of the PSA amendment at a lump sum cost of $2,580. The Annexation Exhibit preparation is Task 2 of the PSA amendment which is a lump sum of $1,200 funded from the Water Fund allocation to the FY16 Water Treatment Plant budget. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the Commission ATTACHMENTS: Amendment No. 1 to PSA for Capital Improvements Projects Field Survey with Gaston Engineering and Surveying, P.C.
