________________________________________________________________________________
Summary:
This project is needed to address safety and capacity concerns in the area, especially in the AM peak hour when it is difficult for residents to make left turns out of their subdivisions.
This project will improve Ridgeview Road from 143rd Street to 151st Street including geometric improvements at various intersections along the corridor. Improvements will include pavement construction, bike lanes, curb and gutter, sidewalk and sidepath, storm sewer and waterline.
A Request for Qualifications for this project was issued on November 5, 2018. Nine (9) firms responded to this request and TranSystems Corporation (TranSystems) was selected based on the submitted qualifications. The proposed agreement with TranSystems includes a capacity and access evaluation to determine exact needs for the corridor. Along with this evaluation, surveying and preliminary engineering will be completed to determine final scope and fee for the proposed improvement. After the final scope and fee has been determined, staff will return to City Council for consideration of a Supplemental Agreement. The total cost of this agreement is $171,077.
This project is tentatively scheduled for design in 2019, land acquisition in 2019/2020, utility relocations in 2020 and construction in 2021.
