Background:
The Federal Highway Administration publishes traffic control requirements through the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), establishing standards on the nation’s roadways. Included in these standards are both day and nighttime reflectivity requirements for pavement markings. The City has several roadways with pavement markings which do not meet reflectivity requirements; many of which were installed with their original roadway, more than a decade ago.
The pavement marking program was started in FY 2023-24 and improved the pavement markings on several roadways, which are now complete.
The professional services agreement will provide for the evaluation of existing conditions, offer recommendations for best value maintenance costs and methods, and deliver project management support of the maintenance activity.
Financial Impact:
Funding is included in the Street System Capital Improvements Project Fund with funding provided by the General Fund.
Alternatives:
City Council has the following alternatives:
- Approve as submitted
- Approve with changes
- Denial
