end
Suggested Action:
recommendation
I move that the Mayor and Council authorize the City Administrator to execute a change order to the Pennoni On-Call Transportation Design and Engineering contract to increase the contract value not to exceed $750,000 and to add 2 additional option years. In addition an expenditure is authorized not to exceed $100,000 to provide services to include contract Traffic Management, Emerson St Retaining Wall engineering, and Lancer Drive Safety and Traffic Calming study.
end
Summary Background:
In the Fall of 2019, the City solicited a Request for Proposal (RFP) to provide on-call transportation design and engineering services to the City. Pennoni was one of two firms selected to receive a contract, which was awarded in January 2020. Since that time the number of transportation related projects has increased. In the past several months the City has received several traffic calming petitions from residents throughout the City, this is in addition to the West Hyattsville Road reconstruction projects, and the projects recommended by the 2018 Citywide Transportation Study. Pennoni may be participating in FY23 traffic related Council initiatives, and there may be additional projects that arise from the American Rescue Plan Act and the recently passed federal Infrastructure funding bill as well as projected related to federal and State stormwater funding that may become available to the City. This change order and expenditure will allow City staff to utilize Pennoni to provide Traffic Engineering support for current petitions, engineering for the Emerson St retaining wall replacement, and complete the Lancer Drive Safety and Traffic Calming study in the immediate, as well as preparing the contract for FY 23 projects and beyond.
