Ladson, PE, CPESC, Director of Engineering Caption:Approve supplemental agreement with B&E Electrical in the amount of $258,212.30 for the Gordon Highway Adaptive Signal Project to install a traffic signal at the intersection of Jimmie Dyess Parkway and Harper Franklin Avenue as well as provide signal connectivity with Gate 1, install pedestrian facilities and intersection modifications as requested by AED. Background:The citizens of Breckenridge and Elderberry subdivisions requested that the intersection of Jimmie Dyess Parkway (SR 383) and Harper-Franklin Avenue be investigated to determine if signalization, safety, or other operational improvements are warranted. In October 2010, a signal warrant and operational study was performed in accordance with the methodology presented in Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. This study concluded that based on traffic volumes and accident history a signal was warranted at the intersection. Signal plans were submitted to Georgia DOT in November 2010 and signal permit was issued in February 2011. Analysis:Based on existing traffic volumes, the intersection Jimmie Dyess Parkway (SR 383) and Harper Franklin Avenue meets the criteria established by the MUTCD at the 100% volume requirements for four of the nine signal warrants: Warrant 1 – Eight Hour Vehicular Volume; Warrant 2 – Four Hour Vehicular Volume; Warrant 3 – Peak Hour; and Warrant 7 – Crash Experience. Financial Impact:Funds are available in SPLOST Phase IV Fund balance and the original developer has agreed to fund $100,000 of the installation costs to be reimbursed to the county as property parcels are sold Alternatives:1) Approve supplemental agreement of B&E Electrical to install a traffic signal at the intersection of Jimmie Dyess Parkway and Harper Franklin Avenue. 2) Do not approve and upgrade signal at a later date that may result in increased costs due to sidewalk, landscaping, and street lighting replacement.
