Newell, P.E., City Engineer�„�/l <br /> SUBJECT: Agreement for Professional Services with Homer L. Chastain & Associates <br /> for North Charles Street <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: <br /> An item on the agenda for the May 6, 2002, City Council Meeting is the authorization of an ' <br /> agreement for professional land surveyor services with Homer L. Chastain & Associates, LLP., <br /> for a fee not to exceed $9,900. <br /> Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached agreement. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> North Charles Street, from Pershing Road to Runnin' Reds Drive, is a 1/2 mile segment of road <br /> that carries an average volume of 2,300 vehicles per day. The road is currently in need of repair. <br /> Staffs recommendation is to reconstruct Charles Street with an asphalt surface over a stabilized � <br /> base, widen the road as much as practical, and resolve any remaining drainage issues. An <br /> additional item will be to explore the possibility of installing a sidewalk on one side of the street. <br /> In order to perform a proper engineering design of the proposed street, City staff proposes a field <br /> survey be completed that will define the right of way available along with the general <br /> topographic features of the street. The proposed field survey will acquire the location of the <br /> road, drainage, utilities and structures. It will allow a more ordered design approach to be <br /> undertaken by the Engineering Division. <br /> Homer L. Chastain & Associates, is currently on call to provide surveying services for the City. <br /> This is a function they have performed very well over the past several years. <br />
