AGENDA CAPTION:
Consider action on a Resolution for a Professional Services Agreement between Kimley-Horn and Associates and the Town of Addison regarding traffic intersection and signal improvements at Arapaho Road and Surveyor Boulevard and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement in an amount not to exceed $124,500.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this item is to enter into a Professional Services Agreement for the design of the intersection of Arapaho Road at Surveyor Boulevard and Systemwide Traffic Signal Improvements for an amount not to exceed $124,500.
In November 2023, the Town staff collaborated with Kimley-Horn and Associates to pursue Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant funding from TxDOT for traffic signal upgrades at the intersection of Arapaho Road and Surveyor Boulevard and systemwide traffic signal improvements. This grant positions the Town to access $1.9M in construction funds. The Town will be obligated to cover the design costs and direct state expenses for project management and inspections in addition to any construction cost overruns and betterments. Once the project is designed, TxDOT will bid and manage the project.
The list of approved projects for the 2023 HSIP grant applications can be found in the table below:
This design for these two items will be phase one of two. A design contract will be brought forth to City Council for consideration for phase two in 2025 for the design of the RRFB (Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons) and Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon.
The funding for this item will be out of the Self-Funded Special Projects Fund.
