Title
JMJ Consulting Engineering Proposal for University Avenue Interim Improvements (B)
Explanation
The CRA is planning to implement interim improvements to the University Avenue corridor between Waldo Road and NW 20th Terrace. About half of the corridor lies in the CPUH district and half lies in the Downtown district. The improvements will replace old features such as benches, bus shelters, and waste receptacles with newer designs;close unused curb cuts;and add new landscaping in the median islands. An inventory needs to be made of all the existing features to create a base map for planning the project and estimating costs. JMJ Consulting Engineering provided CRA staff with a cost estimate of $10,650 to develop an inventory map from field reviews and provide permitting assistance for the FDOT. JMJ's services would be billed on a time and materials basis and it may take more or less time to complete the project than indicated in their estimate. The extent of additional surveying and design services required for the project will be determined at a future date and will be covered under separate contract terms.
Fiscal note
The estimated prorated share of JMJ's services for CPUH and DRAB is $5,325.00 each. Funding is available in the budgets of each district.
Recommendation
Executive Director to the CRA:1) Budget $5,325 from DRAB and $5,325 from CPUH for obtaining engineering services for University Avenue Interim Improvements; and 2) authorize the Executive Director to execute a contract with JMJ Consulting Engineering with a cost of $10,650.
