Commission staff backs Kimley‑Horn to design North Lake Ship Drive complete‑street project
Summary
Staff recommended awarding RFQ 2622 to Kimley‑Horn & Associates for design of the North Lake Ship Drive Complete Street project, with $300,000 allocated for FY26 design work and a $2 million federal construction appropriation secured earlier through Congressman Franklin.
City staff recommended the commission authorize the city manager to negotiate and execute a professional services agreement with Kimley‑Horn & Associates to design the North Lake Ship Drive Complete Street project.
Brittany Hart said the corridor serves neighborhoods, downtown and area schools and needs roadway, drainage, and water/wastewater utility upgrades as well as sidewalks and a multi‑use path. The professional services committee ranked Kimley‑Horn first among three respondents; the RFQ posting drew no protests. Staff said $300,000 is available in the current year for the design phase, and the project has a $2 million federal appropriation secured through Congressman Scott Franklin for construction.
If approved, staff will finalize scope and fee during negotiations and return for contract execution. The transcript records staff recommendation and discussion but no formal commission vote in the provided excerpt.
