SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager, or her designee, to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Kimley-
Horn and Associates, Inc., for professional engineering services in support of the Denton Square Pedestrian
All-Way Crosswalk Improvements Design, as set forth in the contract; providing for the expenditure of
funds therefor; and providing an effective date (RFQ 6590-101 – Professional Services Agreement for
engineering services awarded to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., in the not-to-exceed amount of
$95,000.00).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The Downtown Denton Square is a highly trafficked area by both vehicular and pedestrian patrons. The
All-Way Crosswalk creates a separate, pedestrian-only signal phase during which no vehicles are allowed
to move. This allows pedestrians the opportunity to cross the busy downtown intersections without the
potential for conflict with a moving vehicle. This project will install the diagonal crossings and the
accessible ramps needed to accommodate them at the intersections of Oak at Elm, Oak at Locust, Hickory
at Elm, and Hickory at Locust.
This project was submitted to the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) in January to be
considered for the DCTA Transportation Reinvestment Program (TRiP). If approved, DCTA will reimburse
a not-to-exceed amount of $68,210.00.
Based on the qualifications, knowledge, and experience in designing projects of similar type and magnitude,
staff selected Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. from a list of qualified consultants to perform this work.
Request for Qualifications for professional engineering services was solicited using the City’s formal
solicitation process. City Council approved a pre-qualified list of engineering firms on March 6, 2018, and
June 5, 2018 (Ordinance 2018-331).
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
On March 6, 2018, and June 5, 2018, Council approved RFQ 6590 for a prequalified list of professional
engineering firms (Ordinance 2018-331).
