Background and Rationale
body
The 2018 - 2022 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) had the Lexington Parkway Realignment Project programmed for construction in 2020. The project consisted of the realignment and reconstruction of Lexington Parkway between Adrian Street and Albion Avenue in Saint Paul. Information on the Lexington Parkway Realignment project can be found on the Ramsey County website at Lexington Parkway Realignment Project Information <https://www.ramseycounty.us/residents/roads-transportation/current-roadwork/2021-road-construction-maintenance/lexington-parkway-west-7th-street-reconfiguration>.
In 2018, a contract was awarded to Toltz, King, Duvall, Anderson, and Associates, Inc (TKDA) in the amount of $419,300 to complete engineering services for the design of the Lexington Parkway project. In 2019, a contract amendment was issued in the amount of $413,600 for significant design changes, public engagement, and to include construction administration and inspection. This contract expired December 31, 2021.
Construction of Lexington Parkway began in the summer 2020 with an anticipated completion date of November 2020. Unforeseen conditions including weather, utility conflicts, unsuitable materials, field design changes, and rework that needed to be completed by the contractor has caused the project to extend into the 2022 construction season. Therefore, the construction of Lexington Parkway is requiring an additional year to complete. Additional consultant services for construction administration are required for oversight to complete the construction and finalize the project. The amount needed to complete the project is $200,000.
TKDA’s project manager and team have done significant work and developed a deep understanding of the project. It is necessary to continue services with TKDA through a single source contract to complete and close out the project.
