Attached to the Addendum is a copy of the professional services proposal from Christopher B. Burke Engineering Ltd. to continue design work related to Phase 2 of the project design services for improvements and connectivity of Fellows Street north of Ireland Road to Chippewa Avenue. In April 2011, the Commission approved the original addendum for this project (2865 -11) which hired Christopher B. Burke Engineering Ltd. staff to help coordinate study of the traffic circulation of Fellows and Ireland and Fellows Street north to Chippewa. The purpose of this infrastructure study was based on the INDOT plan to construct a bridge over the US 20 Bypass and build a new connector roadway on the Fellows Street alignment from Gilmer Park south of the bypass to the intersection of Ireland and Fellows. The state anticipates that roadway to be completed in 2013. The Phase 2 proposal, approved by the Commission (2972 -11) in December 2011, segmented design work into three phases including (1) Design Services, (2) Rule 5 Permit (IDEM) and (3) Bid Services. Over the course of the Phase 2 design work, a major redesign was done which shifted the project to the east side of Fellows based on drainage and construction challenges presented with trying to center the roadway in the existing corridor. After a cost - benefit review of the project was done, the design decision was made to shift the corridor to the east. The project design had reached a point of 60% plans and the change allowed for the reuse of some of the materials but also created new opportunities for drainage and stormwater master planning and utility routing that did not exist with the prior design. A plan for the proposed roadway alignment is attached. Staff requests approval of Resolution 3037 and the Amendment to the Addendum To Master Agency Agreement for the Fellows Street Corridor Improvement Project — Supplement #2. The next major professional service associated with this project will be right of way acquisition services and it is anticipated that a proposal for that work will be presented to the Commission in the coming weeks.
