Report
Summary
As part of the Street Transportation Department's Capital Improvement Program, Buckeye Road from 67th Avenue to 59th Avenue has been identified for a street modernization project. The scope includes new curb and gutter, sidewalk, asphalt pavement, street lighting, storm drain infrastructure and landscaping.
In 2012, the City of Phoenix Street Transportation Department contracted with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to provide a full roadway and street drainage design for Buckeye Road from 67th Avenue to 59th Avenue. The project was initially selected for improvements in FY 2012, but with the future freeway alignment near 59th Avenue, the project was postponed to allow for the completion of the freeway.
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. was the original design consultant selected and completed 90 percent design plans in May 2014. At that time, the City decided to terminate the remaining design contract as the construction schedule for the South Mountain Loop 202 freeway was still unclear.
In February 2018, the City requested Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to complete the design work they were initially selected for. The additional work requested was to update and complete the original 90 percent (interim) design plans with a modification at the east end to connect with the South Mountain Loop 202 freeway traffic interchange improvements currently under construction.
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc.'s services will include, but are not limited to: perform all engineering work and surveys; prepare detailed construction plans to 100 percent; prepare cost estimates and special provisions, and other essential work as required.
Procurement Information
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. was chosen for this project using a direct-select process according to section 34-103 of the Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.).
Contract Term
The term of the contract is for 12 months from issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Contract work scope identified and incorporated into the contract prior to the end of the contract term may be agreed to by the parties and work may extend past the termination of the contract. No additional contract work scope changes may be executed after the end of the contract term.
Financial Impact
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc.'s fee will not exceed $350,500, including all subconsultants and reimbursable costs. Funding is available in the Street Transportation Department’s Capital Improvement Program budget.
