Ham Lane and Harney Lane Traffic Signal and Lighting Project
MEETING DATE: August 15,2012
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for
bids for Ham Lane and Harney Lane traffic signal and lighting
project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On June 20,2012, Council authorized the City Manager to execute a
contract with Y&C Transportation Consultants, Inc., for design of the
Ham Lane and Harney Lane traffic signal and lighting project. This
intersection ranked first on the City's current Signal Priority List.
The Ham Lane and Harney Lane traffic signal and lighting project includes the construction of interim traffic
signal and lighting improvements at the Ham Lane and Harney Lane intersection. Ultimate signal
improvementswill be constructed as development occurs to the south of Harney Lane. The proposed interim
signal improvements will provide a level of service (LOS) of no less than LOS D through 2023. The City's
minimum LOS criteria is LOS E.
Plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. Staff anticipates Council to award the
construction contract in October and begin construction in November of this year.
FISCAL IMPACT: Construction of the project will slightly increase traffic signal maintenance
costs but will reduce the City's liability exposure by improving traffic safety.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at project award.
