Background
Information: The purpose of item 4G is to seek City Council approval of the ESA
with KH to provide engineering services for various intersection
analyses citywide in the amount not to exceed $113,500. This
agreement will observe existing traffic conditions and provide 24
intersection improvement recommendations. The recommendations
will be made regarding signal timing, signal phasing, approach lane
allocation, roadway alignment, intersection geometry, and
pedestrian enhancement.
In 2017 KH performed a citywide intersection analysis that focused
on the intersections along FM 1709 corridor and other city
intersections. This agreement will look at intersections that were not
part of the 2017 analysis while determining if traffic pattern have
changed that would cause updates to the intersection
recommendations.
The agreement’s scope includes traffic data collection, intersection
traffic analysis, a report, and meetings. The agreement will also
have an optional scope of additional traffic data collection. The
need of the optional scope item will be determined as KH works
towards the deliverables.
This agreement will determine Intersection improvements as
recommended can be used to help improve mobility throughout the
City.
