Fehr & Peers previously completed the design for the River/Fulton Intersection Improvements project and Colony and Hoff Signal project. The proposal from Fehr & Peers is for a not to exceed cost of $35,000, providing the City with complete plans and specifications for this portion of the design as well as construction support.
