Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an agreement with Snyder & Associates, Inc. for engineering services in connection with the Hillcrest Avenue Reconstruction, Phase 1. Project # PW24-13   

Hillcrest Avenue is a residential street with infrastructure that dates back to the 1970’s and is in need of replacement.  The pavement on Hillcrest Avenue has an asphalt surface approximately 16 feet wide with no curb and gutter, sidewalk, or storm sewer. The existing 8” sanitary sewer will be replaced or rehabilitated.  The roadway surface is in poor condition and the width of the roadway does not meet current standards.  The goal of the project is to maximize the width of the roadway based on the adjacent terrain limitations and evaluate options for sidewalk and storm sewer. The exact limits of Phase 1 will be determined in the scoping effort.  

The project was included in the FY25 CIP with funding from Local Option Sales Tax.  The preliminary project budget is $850,000.

Four firms from the City’s pre-qualified consultant list were asked to submit their qualifications for providing engineering services for the project.  Four responses were received and reviewed by a three-person committee.  Each proposal was scored based on the team qualifications, past experience, project approach and understanding, and clarity, conciseness and organization of the proposal. 

Snyder & Associates, Inc. was selected as the most qualified to perform the work for this project.  They have a clear understanding of the project with a history of similar projects, and the qualified staff available to dedicate to the project.  

Approval of this resolution to enter into an agreement with Snyder & Associates, Inc. for engineering services.
