ITEM SUMMARY:
* This Resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute a contract in the amount of $84,500, as well as all required supplemental agreements thereto, with Kimley-Horn for professional consulting engineering services for the Traffic Signal Detection Upgrades Design, for a total aggregate contract amount, inclusive of any supplemental agreements, not to exceed $95,000.

* The project will include all signalized intersections along US380 from N Stonebridge Drive to Airport Drive.
* This upgrade in detection will also allow staff to collect high-resolution traffic detection information for all the approaches to each intersection. This will be useful as staff implements new traffic signal controllers at the same intersections. This will allow staff to better manage the traffic signal system.
