Signed Contracts_Shive Hattery for JFK Road, Wacker Drive SignalizationMasterpiece on the Mississippi. TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager _., T ,J Q - Gus Psihoyos, City Engineer John F. Kennedy Road and Wacker Drive Signal Reconstruction Design DATE: April 23, 2012 INTRODUCTION Dubuque All- AmedcaCiiy 2007 This memorandum is to request execution of the Professional Services Agreement between the City of Dubuque and Shive - Hattery, Inc. (Des Moines, Iowa) for the design of the traffic signalization reconstruction at the John F. Kennedy (JFK) Road and Wacker Drive intersection. BACKGROUND The intersection of JFK and Wacker Drive is a unique City intersection that is need of reconstruction. Since JFK/Wacker Drive intersection cannot use the standard traffic signal equipment, Engineering staff has reviewed alternate design options to maximize vehicular efficiency such as the roundabout concept. Roundabouts have been ruled out, but the final design will most likely include unique truss spans that take up minimal right of way. The City staff has already installed traffic control cabinets, fiber optics, networking equipment and battery back -up systems to minimize reconstruction costs. DISCUSSION The reconstruction of the JFK/Wacker Drive intersection will require a complex mix of unique foundations and traffic signal structures to minimize the number of fixed objects within the right -of -way. Dave Ness has witnessed the work product of Shive- Hattery when it comes to unique traffic. Due to Shive - Hattery's expertise and years of experience with unique urban intersections, the preliminary and final design can be completed within two months, with reconstruction of the intersection by year -end, 2012. Also, City staff has had an opportunity to review similar urban intersections developed by Shive - Hattery and it appears that the firm has the knowledge base to provide quality design and subsequent reconstruction of complex infrastructure. BUDGET IMPACT The fee for the design of the JFK and Wacker Drive is $15,500. This expense will be allocated from the Capital Improvement Project 3002254 (JFK at Wacker Drive Signal Reconstruction), with a current balance of $200,000. ACTION TO BE TAKEN The execution of the Professional Services Agreement between the City of Dubuque and Shive - Hattery, Inc. for the design of the traffic signalization reconstruction at the John F. Kennedy (JFK) Road and Wacker Drive intersection is requested. cc: Jenny Larson, Budget Director David Ness, PE Attach.
