Discussion:
Prospective developers are advancing future projects to develop the parcels along County Road 69 south of the Highway 169 interchange near the Colburn Drive intersection (see attached map). In response, a traffic impact study is needed to evaluate the respective traffic impacts and to determine the necessary access along County Road 69. The past areawide regional traffic study that was performed for the Jackson Township Development Area will be used as the basis, but this more detailed, localized traffic impact study will provide the necessary evaluation to identify specific impacts and proposed improvements.
City staff needs assistance from a design consultant to perform this traffic impact study. A workplan and professional services agreement has been developed with WSB to deliver this work. WSB has the technical skill, experience and capacity to provide the needed services and is a consultant in the city's consultant pool. The attached professional services agreement authorizes and describes the scope and fee for their work on this project.
