Title
Resolution to Approve a Professional Service Agreement with Northwest Consultants, Inc. for the Stone School Road Reconstruction Project ($101,140.00)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval, please find a resolution to approve a professional services agreement with Northwest Consultants, Inc. (NCI) in the amount of $101,140.00 for design services associated with the Stone School Road Reconstruction Project.
The Stone School Road Reconstruction Project provides for the complete reconstruction of Stone School Road between I-94 and Ellsworth Road. A portion of the project includes alternatives for addressing the existing, failed, Mallett’s Creek culvert located under Old Stone School Road near the I-94 pedestrian overpass, as well as stream bank stability issues associated with the existing culvert located under Stone School Road and other storm water quality and quantity issues associated with Stone School Road itself. Due to the type and amount of work required to properly examine the storm water issues, the required hydraulic analysis and MDEQ permitting procedures, and structural analysis of the existing (and potential new) culvert under Stone School Road, it is necessary for the city to contract with a professional engineering firm for the needed analysis and design services. Other tasks NCI will either perform or assist with include the sampling of sediments of Mallett’s Creek and soils within the Stone School Road right-of-way for possible contamination; storm sewer sizing; re-design of an existing drainage ditch between Stone School Road and Mallett’s Creek; storm water detention calculations; design services associated with the installation of bioswales; and, other related tasks. PMSU staff will perform all design engineering and plan and contract preparation tasks associated with the reconstruction of the roadway, while NCI will assist city staff with issues associated with the culverts and the storm water design.
