Subject:
Title
Consider a resolution approving Amendment No. 3 from HR Green of Colleyville, Texas; for the continued project management, inspection, and project close out of the 2023-2024 Sidewalk Repair project 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 resolution approving Contract Amendment #3 with HR Green, Inc. of Colleyville, Texas; to provide ongoing project management, construction administration, inspection services, and project closeout for the 2022 Sidewalk Repair Program and the FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24 Sidewalk Repair Projects in the amount of $20,000.
Background:
The City entered into a professional services agreement with HR Green in August 2022, for the 2022 Sidewalk Repair Program. The program was a $3.5 million endeavor to clear the known sidewalk repair backlog which was identified at the time. Included with the program are services for project management, construction administration, and inspection services.
As the 2022 program progressed, further repair needs and activities were identified because of interactions with residents throughout the various project areas, necessitating the re-prioritization of repair tasks, and scheduling of activities so as to reduce mobilization costs and construction fatigue at a later date. Additionally, staff with the City and HR Green were able to use alternative purchasing methods in order to keep the overall project on schedule and budget, even with the changes in identified repair needs and an inflationary environment.
As these professional services have been identified as the most cost-effective way of managing the program on an ongoing basis, this amendment will provide for the same services, as well as project closeout services for the FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24 sidewalk repair projects as budgeted.
The original contract, approved through resolution 4542, in the amount of $300,000, amendment #1, in the amount of $45,000, amendment #2, in the amount of $217,000, and amendment #3, in the amount of $20,000 will bring the total for these activities to $582,000.

The funding for this item is included in the Street System Capital Improvements Project Fund with funding provided by the General Fund
