Background:
The Houston Street Widening from 9th Street to Old Highway 51 project is a named 2018 GO Bond transportation project and is currently being designed by Freese and Nichols, Inc On February 7, 2023, federal funding through the Surface Transportation Program (STP) was approved by Broken Arrow City Council. Due to the federal funding involvement in the project, the design will be revised and reformatted with revisions and formatting to meet Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) submission requirements under Amendment 1 of the consulting agreement. In order to construct portions of the project sooner, the project will be split into two sections. The first section of roadway from 23rd Street to Highway 51 will be funded locally which will allow the City of Broken Arrow to construct this section first. Additionally, this eastern stretch of roadway will be redesigned from a three (3) lane configuration to a five (5) lane configuration to accommodate the increasing traffic volume in the area. The second section of roadway from 9th Street to 23rd Street will remain part of the ODOT funded project. This second section includes design of a minor horizontal alignment shift for construction cost saving measures.
With this in mind, Engineering and Construction Department staff negotiated an amendment with Freese and Nichols, Inc. to provide the services necessary to separate the design into two sets of plans. Staff recommends approval of Amendment Number 2 to Agreement for Professional Consulting Services with Freese and Nichols, Inc.
