SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager, or their designee, to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Kimley-
Horn and Associates, Inc., for professional engineering services in support of the State reimbursable
Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside (TASA) Program project; Sycamore – Welch Active Transportation
Connection Bike Lanes and Shared – Use Path Facilities project, as set forth in the contract; providing for
the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective date (RFQ 6590-104 – Professional Services
Agreement for engineering services awarded to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., in the not-to-exceed
amount of $250,000.00).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
On December 3, 2018, an Advanced Funding Agreement (AFA) CSJ#0918-46-306 was authorized by the
Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the City of Denton to provide funding reimbursement
in the not-to-exceed amount of $762,508, for project design and construction activities. TASA projects
include pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure that will substantially improve safety and the ability for
students to walk and bike to schools.
The City of Denton selected Sycamore-Welch as a candidate for the State’s reimbursable Transportation
Alternatives Set-Aside funding program as it designated a key bicycle route from the Downtown Denton
Transit Center to the University of North Texas (UNT). This route is the most direct path for both
pedestrians and cyclists alike to commute to UNT. The current estimated project cost including design, city
staff time, and construction is $2,580,000.
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 $1,626,865.
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).
