BACKGROUND: On January 3, 2017, City Council approved Resolution No. 27-17 to allow the City to enter into a partnering agreement with ARDOT (Arkansas Department of Transportation) for improvements to Hwy 112 between Razorback Road and Garland Avenue and to approve the reclassification of Hwy 112 between 15th Street and Interstate 49 as a City Street. On September 19, 2017, the City executed an Agreement of Understanding with ARDOT detailing the responsibilities of each entity. One such duty is for the City to prepare all legal descriptions and exhibits for the acquisition of right-of-way and easements for the construction of this project. This duty has been completed and approved by ARDOT. On March 27,2023, the City received two bids/responses from our On -Call appraisers (Resolution No. 104-21). Rife & Company can start the appraisal work immediately for a fee of $46,000, whereas Reed & Associates are several months out. DISCUSSION: On April 4, 2023, the City was notified by ARDOT that federal -aid funds have been obligated and that the City could release our appraiser to begin work. The federal revenue of $46,000 needs to be recognized for this project so that we may issue a purchase order to the appraiser. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: Federal funds of $46,000 have been obligated by ARDOT for appraisal services. The City will pay the appraiser from the Sales Tax Capital Improvement funds and then submit for reimbursement of expenditures at 100% federal -aid.

BACKGROUND: Highway 112 is an Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) owned facility that functions as a major north -south arterial connecting 1-49 to the north and Highway 71 to the south, and serves as the main north -south entrance to and access through the University of Arkansas. Over the past several years, segments of the roadway have been widened and improved through and near the campus, through a series of partnerships between the City, the UA, and the AHTD. The UA has planted and maintained the landscaping and trees on segments through campus and to the south of the. campus since the completion of the widening and improvements. In 2014, the City secured an additional $2.4 million in federal -aid funding for another segment of this route, between Garland Avenue and Razorback Road. However, construction bids received for the project have been over $4 million on two separate bidding occasions. This has stalled the construction of the project. Remaining segments between 15th Street and 1-49 that have not been widened or improved include Razorback Road, from Maple Street to Leroy Pond Drive, and Garland Avenue from Poplar Street to 1-49. DISCUSSION: After the 2"d time receiving bids over $4 million on the Maple to Razorback segment of Highway 112, the City and UA met with the AHTD and began discussing an arrangement whereby the AHTD would provide funding to complete the construction of this segment, in exchange for the Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 City taking over the roadway as a City street. Ultimately, the attached proposal was developed by the AHTD, which includes: 1. The AHTD will provide additional funding to complete the improvements to the Garland to Razorback Road segment of Highway 112, and to overlay 112 on either side of this project, to provide a new condition roadway through the entire campus. 2. The AHTD will complete widening and improvements to Highway 112 north of Poplar to Van Asche, at no cost to the City. The City will be allowed to manage the design of the project. 3. In exchange, the City will accept Highway 112 between 15th Street and 1-49 for maintenance in perpetuity; the route will be removed from the state highway system and will become a City street. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: While the proposed resolution does. not obligate any City funds, subsequent agreements and construction contracts will require matching funds in the amount of $958,600. The UA has agreed to provide 50% of this amount per the attached letter; therefore, the cost to the City will be a maximum of $479,300, Funds are available in the Transportation Bond Program for this match amount. Operational costs to the City in the short term are expected to be minimal due to the new condition of the majority of the section to be transferred to the City. Over the long term, overlay and other pavement maintenance costs will be the most significant expenses expected.

TYPICAL SECTIONS OF IMPROVEMENT Attachment J Attachment K LOCAL AGENCY CONSULTANT SELECTION PROCEDURES Section I — Application These procedures apply to federally funded contracts for engineering and design services for projects. The federal laws and regulations that govern the procurement of engineering and design related services with Federal -aid highway funds are: • 23 U.S.C. 112 "Letting of contracts". • 23 CFR 172 "Administration of Engineering and Design Related Service Contracts", • 49 CFR 18 "Uniform Administration Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments" or more commonly known as the "Common Rule", 40 U.S.C. Chapter 10 Subchapter VI, paragraphs 541-544 or commonly called the "Brooks Act". In accordance with the above federal laws and regulations, the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT) has approved these procedures for use by the Local Agency for the "competitive negotiation" method of procurement as defined in 23 CFR 172.5, Methods of Procurement. The Local Agency will use these procedures for Federal -aid contracts and may elect to use them for non -Federal -aid contracts. These procedures do not apply to design -build Contracts. Section II — Advertisement for Letters of Interest (LOIs). The Local Agency may employ a consultant engineering firm when a need exists for engineering services and it is in the Local Agency's best interest to employ an engineer or engineering firm. As a minimum, the Local Agency will advertise in a statewide newspaper, the ArDOT's website and the Local Agency's website (if available), advising that consultant engineering services are being sought. In addition, the Local Agency may advertise in appropriate national trade magazines or websites for specialized services. Interested firms must furnish a Letter of Interest with primary contact information and Architect - Engineer Qualifications Standard Form 330 Parts I and II. The advertisement will be for either a specific single project, a group of projects, or for an indefinite delivery of projects to be determined at a later date with specific task orders issued for each project. Attachment K When the Local Agency advertises a specific project, the advertisement will describe the work in general terms so that firms may evaluate their interest in performing the desired services. When the Local Agency advertises a group of projects, a general description of work will be furnished. Firms will be asked to specify the projects they are interested in performing. When the Local Agency decides to proceed with a certain project, those firms having expressed interest in that project will be considered for selection. When the Local Agency advertises for an indefinite delivery of projects with later specified task orders, the advertisement will include a general description of work for the project tasks. Section III — Selection Committee. The Local Agency will designate a Selection Committee (Committee) to evaluate and analyze the LOIs and Proposals. Section IV — Evaluation of LOIs. The Committee will evaluate each consultant firm based on the following No. Evaluation Factors for LOls Maximum Points Possible Professional staff including the education, experience, 1 number of personnel available, and any partnerships 10 with sub -consultants General and professional reputation, including 2 responsiveness to civil rights and equal employment 10 opportunity requirements and opportunities 3 Past work performance 10 4 Experience with projects of a similar nature as those 10 advertised Total Points for LOI 1 40 Following their review, the selection committee will prepare a short list of engineering firms and recommend to the Local Agency that these firms submit detailed proposals for further evaluation. Section V — Request for Proposal (RFP). The Local Agency will prepare a scope of work statement and request proposals from the engineering firms on the short list. For projects with FHWA oversight, the Local Agency will forward the scope of work statement to ArDOT to forward to FHWA for review and approval before soliciting RFPs. A Local Agency's scope of work will typically include the following: 2 Attachment K 1. A detailed description of the work 2. Services that will be furnished by the Local Agency 3. Services expected of the consultant 4. Project conditions of the work 5. Special conditions of the work 6. Assurance of participation of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) in Federal -aid projects. The Local Agency may establish a DBE goal of a certain percentage of the work for DBE's to assure DBE's participation in Federal -aid projects. When a DBE goal is specified, the Local Agency will ensure that a certified DBE(s) performs the identified engineering work and that the payments to the DBE(s) verify that the goal was reached. The establishment of a DBE goal does not preclude a DBE from being the prime consultant for the project. The short-listed firms should submit proposals that contain the following- 1 . A cover letter with primary contact information 2. A detailed work plan that identifies the major tasks of work 3. A list of major concerns associated with completing the work 4. A detailed work schedule for specific projects as requested 5. A manpower estimate for specific projects as requested 6. Updated Standard Form 330 Parts I and II if necessary The Committee will review the proposals with particular attention to the following evaluation factors and the consideration of Section IV. The evaluation factors and their relative importance will be listed in the RFP if any of the factors are different from the list below. No. Evaluation Factors for Proposals Maximum Points Possible 1 Obvious indication that the scope of work is clearly 10 understood 2 Co m rehensive, coherent, and detailed work plan 10 3 1 Realistic work schedule when applicable 10 4 Proposed working office location, need for a local 5 office, and any local representative* 5 Identification of sub -consultants and responsiveness to 5 DBE goals and opportunities 6 Total Points for_LOI 40 80 Total Points for Proposals *Locality preference may be used on a project by project basis where it is not based on political boundaries. Based on these various items, the Committee will rank the firms in order of preference and submit the list to the Local Agency who will either: 1. Select one firm to enter negotiations with; 3 Attachment K 2. Select multiple firms for an indefinite delivery contract; or 3. Select two or more firms to interview (a firm may present additional information concerning their proposal at the interview). After the interviews, the Committee will re-evaluate the firms based on the interview and the same evaluation factors as noted previously. The ranked list will be submitted to the Local Agency for review and final selection. The contract file will contain records of the rankings and supporting data; however, the rankings will not be public information. Copies of the LOI advertisement, the rankings, and supporting data shall be submitted to ArDOT for the contract file. Section VI — Negotiation and Contract Preparation. Once a firm is selected for negotiation for a specific job or a group of projects, it will prepare a draft contract including a cost estimate for the project. The other firms on the short list will be advised of the firm selected, subject to successful negotiations. More than one firm may be selected for an indefinite delivery contract. The contract will establish a maximum cost for the contract as well as an expiration date. As individual task orders are issued, individual task order cost estimates will be negotiated. The selected firm will prepare a draft contract based on a sample contract furnished by the ArDOT. In accordance with the principles of 23 CFR 172, the draft contract must include an overhead rate that is approved by the ArDOT. The overhead rate shall be verified by an audit by a certified public accountant on behalf of the consultant if the contract exceeds $250,000. If the contract is less than $250,000, the overhead rate shall also be verified by an audit by a certified public accountant on behalf of the consultant if at least one of the following conditions applies- 1 . when there is insufficient knowledge of the consultant's accounting system; 2. when there is previous unfavorable experience regarding the reliability of the consultant's accounting system; or 3. when the contract involves procurement of new equipment or supplies for which cost experience is lacking. Pursuant to this requirement, the ArDOT will notify the Local Agency if an audit by a certified public accountant for the selected firm is necessary. The certified audit needs to be provided by the selected firm prior to the submission of the final draft contract. The Local Agency will review the draft contract proposal and either approve it as submitted or enter into negotiations with the selected firm to establish a contract and contract amount that the Local Agency deems is fair and reasonable. If a satisfactory contract cannot be negotiated with the selected firm, negotiations will be formally terminated. The Local Agency will then enter into negotiations with the second ranked firm. If negotiations with that firm fail, the Local Agency will formally terminate those rd Attachment K negotiations and begin to negotiate with the third ranked firm, and so on. If the Local Agency cannot negotiate a satisfactory contract with any of the firms on the short list, the Local Agency shall either. 1. Request proposals from additional firms who have submitted LOls and are considered competent and qualified; evaluate and rank the firms based on the criteria described in Section V; and continue the negotiation process, or 2. Terminate all negotiations and begin the selection process again. When the Local Agency and the consultant agree on a negotiated contract, the consultant will prepare a final draft and submit it to the Local Agency and ArDOT for review. After review and a determination that it is acceptable, the consultant will sign the contract. The Local Agency will then execute the contract. The contract will subsequently be submitted to ArDOT for final review and approval. When approved, copies of the signed contract will be distributed within the Local Agency and to the consultant. For projects with FHWA oversight and for indefinite delivery contracts utilizing federal funds, the ArDOT will forward the initial and final drafts of the contract to FHWA for review and comment. The FHWA approves the final executed contract by stamp and signature and retains a copy. After the Local Agency executes an indefinite delivery contract, it will assign specific projects by task order for the duration of the contract period. The consultant will prepare each task order based on the scope of work furnished by the Local Agency. The task order will include a manpower estimate and cost. The Local Agency will review the task order and approve it as submitted or negotiate with the consultant to establish a task order and task order amount that the Local Agency deems is fair and reasonable. After review and a determination that the task order is acceptable, the consultant will sign the task order. The Local Agency will execute the task order. The task order will subsequently be submitted to ArDOT for final review and approval. When approved, copies of the signed task order will be distributed within the Local Agency and to the consultant. For projects with FHWA oversight, the ArDOT will forward the initial and final drafts of the task order to FHWA for review and comment. The FHWA approves the final executed task order by stamp and signature and retains a copy. Section VII — Monitoring the Contract. The Local Agency may identify staff members as key liaisons for specific projects or for technical matters during the administration of the contract period. The Local Agency will: 1. Maintain the contract files. 2. Arrange and attend periodic progress meetings. 3. Coordinate reviews and approval actions with other agencies when necessary. 5 Attachment K 4. Review progress payments. 5. Coordinate questions from the consultant. 6. Negotiate any change or amendment to the contract and submit to ArDOT for review and approval. 7. Prepare an evaluation of the consultant's performance after completion of the contract. A copy of the evaluation shall be submitted to the ArDOT. Section VIII — Consultant Liability The Local Agency will include a contract requirement that the consultant will warrant that all services and work products provided as part of the contract are free from defects in workmanship at the time of acceptance and that the work conforms to the requirements of the contract. This warrant is effective regardless of the degree of inspection and acceptance by the Local Agency or others. If the consultant is required to correct or re -perform any work or services, the work will be performed at no cost to the Local Agency, and any work or services corrected or re -performed by the consultant shall also be warranted that it is free from defects in workmanship. If the consultant fails or refuses to correct or re -perform, the Local Agency may, by contract or otherwise, correct or replace the deficient items or services with similar work or services, and charge the cost to the consultant or make an equitable adjustment in the consultant's reimbursement. Acceptance is an act of an authorized representative of the Local Agency by which the Local Agency approves specific services, as partial or complete performance of the contract. Correction is the elimination of a defect. N.

Sincerely, NAME & OFFICE (City's CEO) Attachment N 49 CFR 18.42 UNIFORM ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS FOR GRANTS AND COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS TO STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS Post -Award Requirements Retention and access requirements for records. (a) Applicability. (1) This section applies to all financial and programmatic records, supporting documents, statistical records, and other records of grantees or subgrantees which are: (i) Required to be maintained by the terms of this part, program regulations or the grant agreement, or (ii) Otherwise reasonably considered as pertinent to program regulations or the grant agreement. (2) This section does not apply to records maintained by contractors or subcontractors. For a requirement to place a provision concerning records in certain kinds of contracts, see Sec. 18.36(i)(10). (b) Length of retention period. (1) Except as otherwise provided, records must be retained for three years from the starting date specified in paragraph (c) of this section. (2) If any litigation, claim, negotiation, audit or other action involving the records has been started before the expiration of the 3-year period, the records must be retained until completion of the action and resolution of all issues which arise from it, or until the end of the regular 3-year period, whichever is later. (3) To avoid duplicate recordkeeping, awarding agencies may make special arrangements with grantees and subgrantees to retain any records which are continuously needed for joint use. The awarding agency will request transfer of records to its custody when it determines that the records possess long-term retention value. When the records are transferred to or maintained by the Federal agency, the 3-year retention requirement is not applicable to the grantee or subgrantee. (c) Starting date of retention period--(1) General. When grant support is continued or renewed at annual or other intervals, the retention period for the records of each funding period starts on the day the grantee or subgrantee submits to the awarding agency its single or last expenditure report for that period. However, if grant support is continued or renewed quarterly, the retention period for each year's records starts on the day the grantee submits its expenditure report for the last quarter of the Federal fiscal year. In all other cases, the retention period starts on the day the grantee submits its final expenditure report. If an expenditure report has been waived, the retention period starts on the day the report would have been due. (2) Real property and equipment records. The retention period for real property and equipment records starts from the date of the disposition or replacement or transfer at the direction of the awarding agency. (3) Records for income transactions after grant or subgrant support. In some cases grantees must report income after the period of grant support. Where there is such a requirement, the retention period for the records pertaining to the eaming of the income starts from the end of the grantee's fiscal year in which the income is earned. (4) Indirect cost rate proposals, cost allocations plans, etc. This paragraph applies to the following types of documents, and their supporting records: indirect cost rate computations or proposals, cost allocation plans, and any similar accounting computations of the rate at which a particular group of costs is chargeable (such as computer usage chargeback rates or composite fringe benefit rates). (i) If submitted for negotiation. If the proposal, plan, or other computation is required to be submitted to the Federal Government (or to the grantee) to form the basis for negotiation of the rate, then the 3-year retention period for its supporting records starts from the date of such submission. (ii) If not submitted for negotiation. If the proposal, plan, or other computation is not required to be submitted to the Federal Government (or to the grantee) for negotiation purposes, then the 3-year retention period for the proposal plan, or computation and its supporting records starts from the end of the fiscal year (or other accounting period) covered by the proposal, plan, or other computation. (d) Substitution of microfilm. Copies made by microfilming, photocopying, or similar methods may be substituted for the original records. (e) Access to records--(1) Records of grantees and subgrantees. The awarding agency and the Comptroller General of the United States, or any of their authorized representatives, shall have the right of access to any pertinent books, documents, papers, or other records of grantees and subgrantees which are pertinent to the grant, in order to make audits, examinations, excerpts, and transcripts. (2) Expiration of right of access. The right of access in this section must not be limited to the required retention period but shall last as long as the records are retained. (f) Restrictions on public access. The Federal Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) does not apply to records unless required by Federal, State, or local law, grantees and subgrantees are not required to permit public access to their records.
