The city of Rollingwood is taking steps toward creating a citywide improvements plan that will address all infrastructure, including drainage, streets, electric, water, other utilities and more. There will be an emphasis on drainage and stormwater infrastructure. City Council approved a request June 20 for qualifications that outlined the general scope and timeline of the project. The city is inviting qualifications from engineering consulting firms to create the plan. Potential firms are asked to provide details such as the qualifications, experience and project responsibilities of the team members assigned to the project. “All required services must be provided at a highly competitive fee level not to exceed the 2018 budgeted allocation for the plan at $100,000 and at a fee level that will provide the best value to the city when all evaluation criteria are considered,” the city’s request document said. Phase 1 will involve the development and creation of the improvements plan that will extend over the next five fiscal years—2019 through 2024. Phase 2 may involve a request for qualifications for professional engineering services to design, assist with pursuing funding for, and construct projects identified and prioritized in the improvements plan. “This is going to be an extensive project for the city, and it is expected that significant effort will be made to coordinate the planning efforts with other departments of the city and with the City Council,” the document stated. “The selected firm should demonstrate a plan to conduct outreach and involvement in the planning process with the City’s departments and the City Council. “ In other Rollingwood City Council news, two task orders for drainage improvements to be completed at 2605 Hatley Drive and 405 Inwood Road were approved by council at the June 20 meeting. “Improvements are paid for through fees received by regional stormwater drainage permits,”City Administrator Amber Lewis said. “Planned improvements are the first of many that will work to build a comprehensive, regional drainage system for the community of Rollingwood.” Council also approved a contract for recodification and republication of the city’s code of ordinances, followed by ongoing supplementation and website hosting services with the company Municode. Lewis said during the recodification process the Municode attorney assigned to Rollingwood’s project will organize and examine every title, chapter, section and line of the code to ensure it is free from conflicts and inconsistencies as well as conforms to the laws of the state of Texas.
