Council approves master agreement with Kimley-Horn for grant consulting and SS4A work
Summary
By consent the council approved a master agreement for continuing professional services with Kimley-Horn and an individual project order for SS4A grant preparation and inventory work.
The Robinson City Council approved by consent a master agreement for continuing professional services with Kimley-Horn and an initial individual project order to assist with grant acquisition and to prepare the city's SS4A (Safe Streets and Roads for All) agreement and related inventories.
City staff said the master agreement establishes a pool of grant-consulting support and that two separate IPOs were attached: a general grant services IPO not to exceed $7,500, and an SS4A-specific IPO not to exceed $13,000. Staff told the council the $13,000 will likely be spent this fiscal year to draft the agreement and support federal approval work, and the $7,500 will support broader grant-identification and application assistance.
Why it matters: staff said the city lacks dedicated grant-writing capacity and that Kimley-Horn has experience with similar inventory and roadway-safety work for other jurisdictions. Council approved the consent agenda motion to execute the master agreement and the attached IPOs.
Council action: Motion to approve the consent agenda, including the Kimley-Horn master agreement and IPOs, passed by voice vote; no recorded roll-call tally was provided in the meeting minutes.
