An Ordinance approving the award of bid for Project No. 713 for the Bailey and Hamblen Signal Project to Capital Electric Line Builders, Inc. in the amount of $345,824.50, and authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement of the same.
Key Issues:
· Traffic conditions at SE Bailey Road and SE Hamblen Road met several traffic signal warrants in June 2017
· The proposed traffic signal will address safety, operational needs to better accommodate increased traffic associated with continued development activity and city growth
· This signal project was authorized in the FY 2020 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) adopted by Council in May of 2019
· The project will be funded from the 2017 CIP Sales Tax Renewal
· The delay in award caused by the necessary cancellation of meetings put critical strain on this safety project's timeline. Signal projects have a very long lead time to fabricate the steel poles and mast arms. We need this signal up and running before school starts in fall due to the close proximity to the bus barn to limited the impact on safe school transporation.
