This amendment is for engineering services during the construction of Ross Road between State Highway 71 and Pearce Lane. The City evaluated Ross Road, in a Ppreliminary Eengineering rReport as part of the 2016 Mobility Bond to develop recommendations to improve mobility and safety along the project area. The project area includes Ross Road between State Highway 71 and Pearce Lane and between Pearce Lane and Heine Farm Road. The proposed improvements are focused on reducing congestion and enhancing safety by improving vehicular traffic flow, reducing delays at intersection points, providing alternative modes of transportation, and reducing the number of collision points.
This project is funded by the 2020 Mobility Bond as one of the named projects in the Substandard Streets Program.
LJA Engineering, Inc., will provide engineering services during the construction phase of Ross Road North Improvements. These services will include managing utility coordination for relocation of utilities, performing site inspections, reviewing construction submittals from the contractor, responding to requests for information, and preparing as-built drawings.
If the proposed amendment is not approved, it will affect the delivery of multi-modal mobility services for this corridor that currently has limited mobility options. Construction is anticipated to begin Spring 2025.
This project is located within District 2 (78617).
