John Szerlag, City Mana <br /> <br />DATE: May 15, 2008 <br /> <br />RE: Ratification of RK Shopping Center Signal Warrant Study <br /> <br />RECOMMENDA TION <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission consider the attached resolution ratifying a Traffic <br />Signal Warrant Study Agreement with Keith & Schnars, P.A. <br /> <br />REASONS <br /> <br />On April 16, 2008, the City Commission held a Special City Commission Meeting with Mr. Gus <br />Pego of the Florida Department of Transportation to discuss the need for a traffic light at the <br />intersection of Collins Avenue and the driveway connections serving the R.K. Village Shopping <br />Center to the west and the Trump Residential Development to the east. As requested, I instructed <br />Mr. Eric Penfield of Keith & Schnars, P.A. to proceed with a traffic signal warrant study on an <br />expedited basis for this location. This study, along with its associated traffic engineering protocols, is <br />needed to assist the Florida Department of Transportation to make a determination on this matter. <br /> <br />The specific scope of work for this warrant study is attached, and the cost is on a time and materials <br />basis not to exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($25,500.00), and funds are <br />budgeted in Account Number 20-600-53 I 3. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br /> <br />On December 13, 2007, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2007-1188, which qualified <br />Keith & Schnars, P.A. as one of the firms to provide on-call engineering services to the City for the <br />2007/2008 fiscal year. Additionally, the City Commission adopted Resolution 2007-1187, which <br />provided the City Manager with the authority to spend up to $20,000.00 per project, based on <br />proposals from the list of qualified preapproved consultants, but required Commission approval for <br />any projects over $20,000.00. As such, this Agreement is before you for ratification. <br /> <br />AJS/iw/pw <br /> <br />cc: Eric Penfield, Keith & Schnars, P.A. <br /> <br />Date <br /> <br />\o~ <br />S-IS,o<l <br /> <br />Commission - Ratification Of RK Shopping Center Signal Warrant Study Memo2 <br /> <br />Agenda Item <br />
