For the CITY: ATTEST: THE CITY OF ELGIN B City Clerk City ager (SEAL) For the ENGINEER: Dated this day of 4P// , A.D., 1992. ATTEST: HAMPTON, LENZINI AND RENWICK, INC. ✓r, _/ - By 1S By � `.'• �/ Secretary Pr:rdent (SEAL) -15- • in ; f� Agenda Item No. ��q[D FEg1 • April 2, 1992 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Larry L. Rice, City Manager SUBJECT: Intersection Improvements - Larkin/Edison Traffic Signals PURPOSE: This memorandum will provide the Mayor and Council with information related to the proposed signalization of the subject intersection. !A` BACKGROUND: There are monies in the 1992 Budget for the improvement of an intersection which could be geometrics and/or traffic signals. The highest priority intersection that has been identified which meets warrants for traffic signals is the intersection of Larkin and Edison Avenues. Prior to just going out and placing traffic signals any place at the intersection, a capacity analysis would be completed which will tell us the level of service (number of vehicles through the intersection) we can expect with the traffic signals in place. It will also tell us if left turn lanes are necessary and how much storage (length) the lanes would need. We have contacted the firm of Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick Inc. (HL&R) of Elgin for an agreement to provide the engineering services to perform the capacity analysis, prepare the plans, specifications and bid documents, plus construction guidance as necessary to assure us that the installation of the traffic signals are in accordance with the plan. A copy of their agreement is attached for your consideration. Mayor and Members of the City Council April 2, 1992 Page 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is in the 1992 Budget $125 ,000 for the intersection improvement which will cover the cost of construction and engineering. The engineering agreement is split into four phases for work and cost purposes and are: Capacity Analysis, $700; Design, $11,340; Bid Documents, $535; and Construction Guidance, $4,885 . The total cost of the first three phases is $12,575 to complete the plans, specifications and bid documents . Adding the construction phase brings the total cost for engineering services to $17,460 . RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of the agreement for engineering services with Hampton Lenzini and Renwick, Inc. for the traffic signals at the intersection of Larkin and Edison Avenues in the amount of $17,460 and direct the staff to prepare the necessary resolution. . i i laI !
