On August 22, 2006, the City Council <br />approved the Old Highway 8 Geometric Layout, authorized staff to prepare and solicit proposals for final <br />design professional services, and authorized staff to prepare a project feasibility study. <br /> <br />Financial Impact: Staff received three proposals for final design engineering services for Old Highway <br />8 Reconstruction. The firms and their corresponding design fees are as follows: <br /> <br />KHA <br />SEH <br />TKDA <br /> <br />$88,990 <br />$115,600 <br />$122,300 (This quote may be high due to over estimating lighting costs) <br /> <br />The proposed design schedule and associated design tasks for KHA are attached to this report. <br /> <br />Explanation: A rough cost estimate for the reconstruction of Old Highway 8 is $2 to $2.5 million. <br />KHA's proposal of $88,990 for final design services is less than 5 percent of the overall projected project <br />cost. This is very reasonable and less than typical for similar services of other County State Aid Highway <br />projects. <br /> <br />Tn order to qualify for the $400,000 Mn/DOT Routes of Regional Significance funding, this project must <br />be bid by April 1, 2007. <br /> <br />Costs and Funding: Additional costs will be necessary to complete the final design for Old Highway 8. <br />Rud Surveying and Braun Intertec will be sub-contracted for additional professional services in amount <br />not to exceed $10,000 each. Also, depending on the intensity of landscaping along Old Highway 8 (Le. <br />irrigation systems, pavers, special plantings) up to $20,000 may be necessary for design. The total design <br />services for Old Highway 8 are expected to be approximately $130,000. <br /> <br />All costs will be paid from the Northwest Quadrant project budget. <br /> <br /> <br />,.-- <br /> <br />Attachment <br />
