SUBJECT: PROJECT NO. 7933 - REHABILITATION AND STRIPING MODIFICATIONS ON EXCELSIOR DRIVE / AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO PROVIDE DESIGN SERVICES, ENGINEERS REPORT NO. 24-16
Background:
Willdan Engineering provided traffic engineering services to analyze the feasibility of implementing striping modifications and improvements for Excelsior Drive. As part of the previous Engineering and Traffic (ET) study, it was analyzed for the benefits of modifying the striping on Excelsior Drive between Studebaker Road and Pioneer Boulevard is feasible. The ET study includes an analysis to determine if a protected left turn signal phasing is necessary in all directions of Excelsior Drive at Pioneer Boulevard and on Studebaker Road at Foster Road.
Additionally, analysis of a relocation of the mid-block crosswalk located east of Elmcroft Avenue was included to determine relocation of the crossing to the nearest intersection and to determine if replacing the standard traffic signal heads to a pedestrian hybrid beacon is appropriate.
Willdan provided the traffic study to the City Engineer and based on its recommendations, Willdan developed design and construction documents. Sta also recommends adding pavement resurfacing (slurry seal) on Excelsior Drive between Studebaker Road and Pioneer Boulevard.
This is like the recent work done on 166th Street between Pioneer and Norwalk Boulevards.
To bring this project to completion, staff recommends amending Willdan’s current professional service agreement to provide services for Project No. 7933, Analyzing the Feasibility of Striping Modifications on Excelsior Drive in the amount of $55,000.
