Title
Approving the award of a construction contract for the Kelly Lane at Jakes Hill/Vilamoura Temporary Traffic Signal Project to EARTC, the lowest responsible bidder of two (2) bids received on September 10, 2020, in the amount of $84,210.70 and authorizing the City Manager to execute same.
Summary
This project includes construction of one (1) temporary traffic signal at the intersection of Kelly Lane at Jakes Hill/Hidden Lake Drive; installing vertical panel tubular markers and pavement markings at Vilamoura/Falcon Pointe; as well as signing and pavement marking modifications at two intersections as temporary measures to improve traffic safety and operations. The proposed temporary traffic signal installation includes temporary timber poles and the permanent traffic signal controller, which would be utilized to be functional with Kelly Lane Phase 2 and Phase 3 construction projects. The option to install temporary timber poles allowed City staff to move the signal and intersection modifications at Vilamoura/Falcon Pointe projects forward quickly to address the safety concerns as expressed by citizens and Council. The timber poles will remain until the future Kelly Lane roadway construction is completed and the permanent mast arm is installed.
The attached bid tabulation shows the bids in which EARTC was the low bidder with the base bid of $84,210.70.
The Engineer's estimated construction cost of this project was $85,124.26. The project was advertised for bids on August 26, 2020. Bids were received and opened on September 10, 2020.
City staff will provide public awareness and education campaign in advance of the traffic signal activation beginning September 23 through December to inform citizens about the intersection modifications and resulting traffic pattern impacts.
