KTUA Contracts
The City entered into two contracts with KTUA as follows:
Contract No.2019-09 related to Barton Road Streetscape Master Plan
Contract No.2019-10 related to the Michigan Street Walkability Plan
The purpose of these contracts is for KTUA to provide the City with services
relating to the Barton Road Streetscape Master Plan and Michigan Street
Walkability Plan.KTUA has commenced the work under these contracts
achieving substantial progress.
COVID 19
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unforeseen delays and continues
to delay progress (e.g.,it has caused substantial delays relating to
property owner and community participation)and has resulted in many
of KTUA’s tasks under these contracts to be delayed.As a result,only
some of the services have been performed and there are still funds
available on each contract to complete the remaining services for both
projects.
Contract Continuation
These contracts have expired.Under such unique
circumstances,staff recommends that these projects be
continued with KTUA in order to complete the remaining
services.There is no additional cost to the City beyond what
was approved.
Recommendations
Receive and File Barton Road Streetscape Master Plan Design
Information as a Progress Update;and
Provide direction to staff to prepare the appropriate contract
documents to continue with KTUA,and to bring back such
documents for City Council approval at a future meeting.
