Duke Duke -Page 1 ~oRnrmuM TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL CITY OF OWASSO FROM: RODNEY J RAY CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF CONTRACT WITH TRAFFIC ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS DATE: June 4, 1993 BACKGROUND: In 1985 the City Council employed an engineering firm (Jeff Tuttle Associates) to prepaze a design for traffic signalization of the U.S. 169 and 76th Street interchange. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation had told the City that 100% federal grant funds were available to construct the improvements if Owasso would provide the long term maintenance. The plans for the project were completed in June of 1985 and forwarded to ODOT for review and submission as a grant request. From June 1985 to April of 1987 there appazently was no follow up on the request or plans. In June of 1981, the City requested a status of the project and was informed that the plans needed to be updated as per the ODOT review comments. The City again contracted with Tuttle and Associates to update the plans and, after completing the update, submitted them to ODOT. In November of 1987 the City staff met with ODOT fora "Plan-in- Hand", on-site review. After that meeting the City was notified that the project would be placed on the April 1988 bid letting. In March of 1988, the City requested a status report and was told that funds were "short" and that the project would not be on April's bid list, and that the project would be eligible again after October 1988. In December of 1988 the City was told that funds still were not available and that we would have to wait until the project became a priority. Then in 1989 the ODOT decided to signalize the 86th & U.S. 169 interchange as a higher priority project. That project was completed in 89-90 and attempts since then to get the 76th Street project back "on track" have met with little success. In late 1992 and early 1993, the project was discussed with Senator Cullison by Mayor Randolph. Last week the staff was asked to meet with ODOT officials for the purpose of discussing the project. The ODOT representatives indicated that they wanted to do the 76th Street signalization project and that, if Owasso could update the plans to meet current ODOT standards in time to meet the October 1993 fiscal yeaz end, they believed there would be enough money to fund the project. They also said that after October 1993 Governor Walters intended to remove the 100% grant funds and replace them with 30% grant funds for these projects. Memorandum ' Request for Approval of Contract with Traffic Engineering Consultants ' June 4, 1993 Page 2 The staff sought input from various sources regarding which engineering firm could put together an update of the plans so they would meet ODOT criteria on the first review. Quick, accurate plans are vital to the success of our October approval. After a review of firms currently doing ODOT projects, the staff selected Traffic Engineering Consultants Inc as the firm best qualified ~ to quickly update and present our project to ODOT. In checking with ODOT, we have confirmed the firm's reliability and their familiarity with ODOT standards. ' At that point, the staff requested that "TEC" prepare a price estimate and contract for the update, and further provide a time frame for completing the project and submitting it to ODOT. The firm developed a contract, set a price of $2000 for the work, and confirmed that the updated ~ plans could be submitted to ODOT by August 15, 1993. The staff believes the City should take the opportunity to get this project on the grant list and , on the ODOT bid list. Please note that there is still a question as to the availability of funds, but it is the consensus of opinion that this is our best shot to get the project under way. Also note that, even in the event the October bid letting was not accomplished, the City still has one other option available for 80-20 (80 federal-201oca1) money under another program because 76th Street is actually on the state highway system from U.S. 169 west to Main Street. Therefore, , the update of the construction plans will not be wasted. RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends Council approval of a contract between the City of Owasso and Traffic t Engineering Consultants Inc in the amount of $2000 for the purpose of updating plans for signalization of 76th Street and U.S. 169. ~ ATTACHMENT• Proposed Contract 1 W .~ ~- TRAFFIC ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS, INC.
