Title
An ordinance to approve and authorize the execution of a Contract for Engineering Services with Shread-Kuyrkendall & Associates, Inc. for necessary professional engineering services associated with Parish Project No. P170101 Improve Storm Water Conveyance Under Airline Highway.
Body
WHEREAS, the St. Charles Parish Council desires to have the following described project undertaken:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Engineering services for Parish Project No. P170101 Improve Storm Water Conveyance Under Airline Highway. The service will include but will not be limited to serving as Owner’s professional engineering representative for the Project, providing professional engineering consultation and advice, and furnishing customary civil, geotechnical, structural, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and control engineering services and construction engineering and inspection; and,
WHEREAS, five storm water culverts crossing under Airline Highway between Almedia Rd. and the Jefferson-St Charles Parish line are too small to adequately convey storm water to the north side of Airline Highway, where it eventually flows to Lake Pontchartrain; and,
WHEREAS, the landscape and development in the area has changed considerably and improving drainage under Airline Highway at these five crossings is critical in achieving future flooding improvements in the area bound by River Rd., Almedia Rd, Airline Highway, and the Jefferson-St Charles Parish line; and,
WHEREAS, because of the complexity of the project, it will be implemented in phases so as to better control project timing and cost. Phase I Task Order will include the design and engineering estimated cost of each crossing separately and construction of a selection of the five crossings based on priority and funding.
THE ST. CHARLES PARISH COUNCIL HEREBY ORDAINS:
SECTION I. That the contract for Engineering Services between Shread-Kuyrkendall & Associates, Inc. and the Parish of St. Charles is hereby approved and accepted.
SECTION II. That the Parish President is hereby authorized to execute said Engineering Services Contract on behalf of St. Charles Parish.
