SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc., for design services for the TXDOT I-35 Aesthetic Package for the Parks and Recreation
Department as set forth in the contract; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an
effective date (RFQ 7599-007 – Professional Services Agreement for design services awarded to Kimley-
Horn and Associates, Inc., in the not-to-exceed amount of $113,137.00).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The Parks and Recreation Department was advised by the Public Art Committee (PAC) to coordinate with
TXDOT on the aesthetic appearance of the I-35 Interchange and I-35N bridge walls and retaining walls.
During this advisement, the PAC determined that medallions for the City of Denton, UNT, TWU, and DISD
would be best suited to follow the current theme that has already been established on I-35W. The PAC also
determined that a Stylized Musical Theme be formed into the walls to symbolize Denton’s musical heritage.
This professional services agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. will involve the development
of concept sketches of proposed features of medallions and stylized musical elements. Entry
monumentation, major, minor wayfinding elements along the corridor, enhanced hardscape, enhanced
native landscape plantings, amenity features (such as raised planters, canopies, seating areas, etc.), and
schematic lighting design will also be a part of the plan. Furthermore, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
will conduct the design development plans, construction documents, bidding assistance, construction phase
services, structural engineering of walls, fencing, columns, and structures, lighting photometric/circuity,
lighting footing design/engineering, 3D Rendering, and/or 3D fly-through videos, drawing revisions
requested after construction documents are complete and any item not specifically included in the scope of
services.
The Parks, Recreation, and Trails System Master Plan is nearing adoption. This contract will be vital in
future planning for Parks and Recreation and its mission to serve and meet the community's needs.
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 May 18, 2021
(Ordinance 21-984).
