Requested Action
Consider the authorization of funding and approval of contracts.
Recommendation
The authorization of funding in an amount not to exceed $110,000.00 and approval of contracts, including design services with Parkhill, to prepare Cardinal Road Right Turn Lane at FM 1187 for public bidding and construction.
Description/History
This project is an intersection improvement in the 2022 Street Capital Improvement Plan. The primary component is a northbound right turn lane at FM 1187. The northbound approach currently accommodates a left turn lane and a combination through and right turn lane. Through movements north to Gertie Barrett Rd. are causing significant delays for right turning movements and congesting the intersection. A dedicated right turn lane and signal timing improvements will provide a significant reduction in delays. To assure safety the improvement will also necessitate improving the traffic signal, median nose, and pedestrian route at the intersection.
The Engineers estimated cost of construction is $229,908.00.
The requested funds are for design services with Parkhill in the amount of $89,539.80 which includes an additional 5% design fee contingency for potential design scope changes, survey services, subsurface investigation, and other miscellaneous services needed to prepare the project for public bidding and construction, for a total budget not to exceed $110,000.00.
Justification
This project is included in the 2022 Street Capital Improvement Plan.
The Executive Director of Infrastructure Development will be in attendance at the meeting to answer Council’s questions regarding the proposed funding and contracts.
