Approval of a Consultant Agreement with Toole Design for the Buffered Bike Lanes - Bel-Red Road (WLSP to 30th) Project
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
This consultant agreement with Toole Design in the amount of $645,000 is for design services for the Buffered Bike Lanes - Bel-Red Road (WLSP to 30th) Project No. 2329-316. This project will add buffered bike lanes to Bel-Red Road from West Lake Sammamish Parkway to NE 30th Street. This will be accomplished by restriping the road to remove the second uphill travel lane. The project will modify intersections to better accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians. Approximately 1000 feet of degraded stormwater pipe will be replaced, and the road will be repaved between WLSP and NE 40th Street.
Public Works is seeking authorization to negotiate and acquire property rights to construct and maintain the project.
Public Works is seeking approval for the addition of $1,219,766 in Stormwater CIP funds to cover the costs of rehabilitating the storm water infrastructure within the project limits.
