Title
Approval of TDOT estimates and contracts for engineering & professional services for Hwy 127 North Utility Relocation
Body
SUMMARY: The attached two Utility Relocation Estimates for the 127 North Project starting at I-40 and ending near Potato Farm Road detail the cost for water and sewer relocation. The total cost for the water relocation is $4,758,776.30 and the City’s portion is $1,431,282.64.
The total cost for the sewer relocation is $984,116.38 and the City’s portion is $194,400.
A portion of the City’s expenses are for the betterments such as the difference in cost of upsizing the water line from six inches to ten inches and casing for future road crossings.
The City Council must approve the estimates in order to allow the Mayor to sign the agreements.
Attached are contract amendments totaling $390,402.68 with Hussey Gay Bell (Robert Stigall) for engineering of the project. The amount for water engineering is $276,636.30 and the amount for sewer is $113,766.38. The previous contract approved November 12, 2013 was in the amount of $120,330. The revised estimate and engineering contract is for total hours, with all payments already made to Stigall Engineering for previous hours credited to this contract.
The contract amendments are required because TDOT has increased the length of this phase by approximately one mile.
Hussey Gay Bell has also presented a contract (attached) for approval of professional services in the amount of $725 per parcel. This would include surveying services, preparation of parcel maps, preparation of easement documents, and calculation of easement value.
