Title
Approving the selection of MWM DesignGroup for professional services associated with the 2020 Parks Bond Program Projects: Trail Gaps and Trail Improvements and authorizing the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement in the amount of $220,000.00.
Summary
The proposed agenda item is a follow up to the previous April 13, 2021 City Council meeting as Vanir Construction, the Bond Program General Consultant (GC) and the City's Selection Committee completed the first round for recommending selection of consultants associated with the voter-approved 2020 Parks Bond Program. Beginning April 28th the City of Pflugerville submitted an advertisement to paper and on May 5th completed a release for qualifications from qualified engineering firms to provide professional engineering services associated with the Parks Bond. Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) were submitted on May 21st.
Project List:
1. City Trail Improvements
2. Neighborhood Park Improvements
* Picadilly
* Wilbarger Phase 2
* Mallard
* Kelly Lane
* Pecan
3. 1849 Park Phase 2
The City of Pflugerville solicited requests for qualifications from engineering firms for services associated with three of the 2020 Parks Bond Program (the “Program”) Projects. City staff received sixteen (16) SOQs which were reviewed, scored and ranked, based on the evaluation criteria in the RFQ, as the SOQ is worth up to 100 points, and the interview is worth up to 20 points. These two scores added together, and the team with the highest total of these two scores would result in the recommended selected firm. The City's Selection Committee determined the results of the SOQ scoring and ranking did not require interviews to further evaluate the team's experience so Project assignments were determined by the firm’s unique qualifications and project preference. City staff provided recommendations to Vanir to proceed with development of Scope and Fee for a professional services agreement with each firm individually based on project assignments.
Staff recommends the selection of MWM DesignGroup for professional services associated with the Trail Gaps and Trail Improvement Projects.
This project is included in the City of Pflugerville Master Parks Plan and is associated with the 2020 General Obligation Bond Parks Projects. This project is for the design and preparation of construction documents for various City trail segments.
This project will close trail gaps in City trail system, enhance the overall trail system with development of trailheads at appropriate locations, and develop a wayfinding system for trail users and visitors.
