ISSUE
Should the City Council approve an Agreement with THK Associates, Inc., to complete
a master plan for the Fountain Creek Greenway Project ( "Project ")?
Approval of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The City of Pueblo entered into an agreement on November 9, 2009 with the State
Board of the Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund (GOCO) for grant funding in the
amount of $75,000 to assist in the completion of a master plan for the Fountain Creek
Greenway Project PI-0906. Colorado Springs Utilities ( "CSU ") and the Lower Arkansas
Valley Water Conservancy District ( "District ") are providing direct payments totaling
$20,000 as part of the project for the completion of the work under an existing
consulting agreement between CSU, District and THK Associates, Inc. ( "THK ").
Since there is an existing consulting agreement between CSU, District and THK
covering a portion of this project, the City requested a proposal from THK Associates,
Inc. on September 25, 2009, to complete the balance of the master planning work
pertaining to the Fountain Creek Greenway Project. The proposal from THK was
determined to be a competitive and reasonably priced to complete the remaining master
planning work in accordance with the City's grant contract with GOCO.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
A total cost of $90,000 will be paid from the Project PI-0906, appropriated by Ordinance
No. 8097, for payment to THK Associates, Inc. for services and costs incurred under the
Agreement for Professional Services.
