RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
• Approval of Resolution
ITEM SUMMARY:
• This Resolution authorizes the City Manager, or designee, to execute a contract and all necessary change orders with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for ST2636 - Glen Oaks Drive & Ridge Road Roundabout Analysis and Preliminary Design for a total contract amount not-to-exceed $290,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• In 2019, the Engineering Department contracted with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to identify feasible locations for roundabout intersections citywide. The study identified the intersection of Glen Oaks Drive and Ridge Road as roundabout candidate.
• In 2020, an Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) for the Glen Oaks Drive and Ridge Road intersection was completed by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. The analysis compared various scenarios including maintaining the intersection as an all-way stop-controlled, retrofitting into a roundabout, or installing a traffic signal. Based on all the factors analyzed, the report determined that a retrofit of this intersection into a multilane roundabout provides the best long-term solution, improves intersection safety, and provides adequate level of service for projected traffic volumes.
• On March 17, 2026, Engineering provided City Council an update on intersection crash history patterns from 2014-2025, benefits between a signal versus a roundabout, and crash history patterns for the existing multilane roundabouts on Wilmeth Road. City Council recommended we conduct additional analysis for the roundabout concept and develop preliminary design plans.
• Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. submitted a response to 24-14RFQ for Traffic Studies/Services. They were one of six firms shortlisted by City Council on March 5, 2024. They also submitted a response to 24-46RFQ for On-call Roadway Design Services. They were one of fourteen firms shortlisted by City Council on September 17, 2024.
• Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. submitted a proposal for this project in the amount of $265,250. The scope includes the following elements:
Traffic Analysis Update
Public Engagement (includes updated renderings)
Preliminary Design (includes survey, utility coordination, and right-of-way easement documents)

FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
• Funding is provided by the Capital Improvement Program project (ST2636).
• Upon approval of this item, $346,800 will remain in ST2636.
