| DISCUSSION: | |||||||||
The intersection of Sendera Ranch Boulevard and Diamond Back Lane is currently signed as an all-way stop controlled intersection. Drivers routinely experience congestion and delays during peak hours. The proposed traffic signal will improve the traffic flow and capacity and reduce the congestion and delays. The design of this project will be performed by utilizing an existing on-call contract with IEA, Inc. (CSC No. 52033) by issuing a task order. Design is expected to be completed by December 2019. The construction of the project will be performed in early 2020 by either a public bid construction contract or a task order under an existing unit price contract. The adopted 2017 Transportation Impact Fee Study identifies all projects that are eligible to receive transportation impact fee funding. The transportation improvements plan for Service Area B included capacity improvements to the intersection of Sendera Ranch Boulevard and Diamondback Lane. Transportation Impact fee revenues totaling $400,000.00 from Service Area B (Project UN9912) of the Transportation Impact Fee Capital Legacy Fund(39008) and the Transportation Impact Fee Capital Fund (30108) will fund the complete design and construction of a new traffic signal at this intersection. Any residual funds left after the project completion and acceptance will be returned to the Service Area B revenues. All expenses that are not transportation impact fee eligible will be funded from $100,000 of the 2018 Bond Traffic Signal programmable funds in the project.
The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7. This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity. |
