Title
Approving First Amended Agreement for supplement to an agreement for the Transportation Master Plan with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. in the amount of $85,000 for professional engineering services associated with the preparation of a Roadway Impact Fee Study.
Summary
As part of the 2019 Transportation Master Plan effort, the City's consultant, Kimley-Horn, was tasked with providing information regarding funding opportunities for transportation needs in Pflugerville. During the worksession that was held on November 26, 2019, Kimley Horn provided information discussing the funding opportunities for transportation efforts from impact fees. At that worksession, positive feedback was received to consider a study that would allow the city to implement a roadway impact fee. This is the first step in establishing a transportation impact fee.
The impact fee study will evaluate the development and implementation of a roadway impact fee in accordance with Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code. Roadway impact fees are only applicable within the city limits. Further per the enabling statute, "'Roadway facilities'" means arterial or collector streets or roads that have been designated on an officially adopted roadway plan of the political subdivision, together with all necessary appurtenances. The term includes the political subdivision's share of costs for roadways and associated improvements designated on the federal or Texas highway system, including local matching funds and costs related to utility line relocation and the establishment of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, drainage appurtenances, and rights-of-way."
