Title
Discussion regarding approval of contract amendment regarding Fourth Street & West Avenue intersection
Body
SUMMARY: The City currently has a contract with Gresham Smith Partners for the design of the traffic signal for the Fourth Street & West Avenue intersection. Before the design of the project started, it was determined that the storm sewer in the intersection would require lower for the addition of the ADA sidewalk corners. We soon discovered that the new storm sewer bisected almost all of the gravity sewer in the area. This contract amendment resolves the gravity sewer conflicts by redesigning the storm sewer, provides for Right of Way Exhibits and Descriptions and resolves problems with the project timeline.
The Director of Engineering recommends the approval of the amendment at the amount of $39,700.00.
We believe the City will have enough TDOT Surface Transportations Funds to bid the construction of this project in the next budget year.
