Item 4BCITY OF SOUTHLAKI MEMORANDUM (October 20, 2015) To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager From: Robert H. Price, P.E., Director of Public Works Item 413 Subject: Award contract to Durable Specialties, Inc. for the construction of a traffic signal at South Carroll Avenue at Zena Rucker Road in the amount of $158,500 Action Requested: Award contract to Durable Specialties, Inc. for the construction of a traffic signal at South Carroll Avenue at Zena Rucker Road in the amount of $158,500. Background Information: The City staff is requesting approval of a construction contract with Durable Specialties, Inc. for the design of the proposed traffic signal at the intersection of South Carroll Avenue and Zena Rucker Road. The proposed traffic signal to be constructed under this contract is identified as a Southlake 2030 Mobility Tier 3 project (MT13). With the recent additions of the Park Village retail development and the Winding Creek Addition residential development, the need for a signalized intersection at S. Carroll Ave. and Zena Rucker Blvd/ Shops of Southlake west primary entrance is warranted due to increased traffic volumes generated by both the Park Village and Shops of Southlake developments. Therefore, to address mobility issues, this project has been accelerated. Median improvements between FM 1709 and Zena Rucker Blvd. included the construction of dual hooded left turn lanes to eliminate potential conflicts from the aligned drives of the two Page I of 3 I Pk i' i ► r' Potential Traffic Signal Item 413 retail developments. As a result, the primary entrance for the Shops of Southlake has been realigned at Zena Rucker Blvd. The signalized intersection of Zena Rucker and S. Carroll Avenue will be the only opportunity to depart southbound on S. Carroll Ave. for Shops of Southlake patrons. In October 2012 as part of Southlake 2030, Kimley-Horn, Inc. completed the South Carroll Avenue Improvements Study which provided recommendations to the City for improving mobility along South Carroll Avenue between Southlake Boulevard (FM 1709) and Breeze Way. The study included the extension of Zena Rucker Road from the west to the intersection of South Carroll Avenue between the commercial site and the residential site. The results of the study were presented at the Southlake 2030 Mobility Master Plan Committee meeting on September 11, 2012. The median improvements along South Carroll Avenue from Southlake Boulevard to Zena Rucker Road, as well as a traffic signal at the intersection of South Carroll Avenue and Zena Rucker Road work in conjunction to reduce delays and improve ingress and egress to the commercial developments. summary or Mas: Bidder Bid Amount Durable Specialties, Inc. $158,500.00 Independent Utility Contruction, Inc. $268,133.86 Council awarded the engineering services agreement to Halff Associates, Inc. on February 17, 2015 for the traffic signal design, signal construction plans and traffic signal timing.
