Title
Consider a resolution approving a contract amendment to a Professional Services Agreement with Baird, Hampton & Brown, of Fort Worth, Texas; for the purpose of providing engineering drainage review services relating to development applications for the Public Works Department; and authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents relating thereto on behalf of the City of Keller, Texas.
Action Requested:
Approve a contract amendment to a Professional Services Agreement with Baird, Hampton & Brown, of Fort Worth, Texas to increase the contract amount by $60,000 to $90,000.
Background:
As Keller continues to develop, the complexity of drainage reviews for development projects has increased substantially. Baird, Hampton & Brown has provided these drainage review services at an increasing level over the last several years.
Baird, Hampton & Brown currently provides drainage development review on an as-needed basis. In October 2021, an annually renewable contract was awarded for $30,000 to provide said services. The annual amount has been exhausted for this fiscal year due to the type and complexity of reviews that have occurred and it is recommended to be increased by $60,000, for a total of $90,000, to support current and expected work to the end of this fiscal year.
For reference, expenses related to this activity for the last three years are included below:
FY 2022 - $47,893
FY 2023 - $29,608
FY 2024 - $72,526
