Background
Information: A signal warrant study was completed in relation to the TD
Ameritrade development for four intersections. The signal warrant
study identified the eastbound and westbound State Highway 114
frontage roads at Kirkwood Boulevard/Solana Boulevard as
needing to be upgraded from stop controlled to traffic signal
controlled. The signal warrant study and traffic impact analysis also
identified geometric improvements for these intersections.
A design contract was awarded by City Council to Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc. at the March 7, 2017 meeting. The design is
currently at 95% complete. As soon as the plans are finalized
based upon the receipt of final review comments by TxDOT and the
City, the project will be publicly advertised and bid.
Staff expects the project to be awarded in July, 2017. In order to
maintain a very tight project schedule, staff is respectfully
requesting and recommending that the Council authorize the City
Manager to award the construction contract for improvements at
the SH 114 frontage/Kirkwood/Solana Boulevard intersections in an
amount not to exceed $800,000. This action will allow the project
to continue on schedule without interruption in order to meet the
desired project completion later this year. The requested action will
then be ratified by City Council at the August 1 , 2017 meeting.
