DATE: June 27, 2023
SUBJECT
Consider the 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 related to Illumination/Lighting Projects for the City of Denton Parks
department as set forth in the contract; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an
effective date (RFQ 7292-009– Professional Services Agreement for design services awarded to Kimley-
Horn and Associates, Inc., in a three (3) year not-to-exceed amount of $1,500,000.00).
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Area: Strengthen Community and Quality of Life
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
On March 1, 2022, the Parks, Recreation, and Trails System Master Plan (PRTSM) was adopted by City
Council. The Park Planning Division for the Parks and Recreation Department assists with the management,
coordination, and execution of various projects proposed within the PRTSM. Some projects require design
services, and depending on the scope, specialty, or staff availability, they will either be managed in-house
or outsourced for design.
Depending on the project's scope, Park Planning staff have been taking on more projects as the General
Contractor (GC) to reduce costs and allocate more funding for the actual construction work. Hence, over
the past year, the Parks and Recreation Department has collaborated with the Engineering Department to
provide in-house civil engineering design services and reduce design costs. However, the City lacks an in-
house engineer specializing in illumination design, requiring external assistance.
This contract will be used to perform design services and create construction plans relating to
illumination/lighting needs. While the exact amounts will vary depending on project requirements, staff
anticipates allocating funds for these services annually. This contract is expected to accelerate the design
process and facilitate the timely delivery of completed projects for the benefit of the community.
