Shakopee City Council
January 2, 2024

FROM:Micah Heckman, Assistant City Engineer
TO:Mayor and Council Members
Subject:
Agreement with Scott County for routine maintenance of city owned traffic signals
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve a Cooperative Maintenance Agreement between Scott County and the City of Shakopee for city owned traffic signals.
Recommendation:
Approval of the agreement.
Discussion:

The city currently owns and operates three (3) traffic signal systems at the Old Carriage Court/Southbridge Parkway, Vierling Drive/Tasha Boulevard and Vierling Drive/Heather Street intersections. City staff does not have the expertise or experience performing routine maintenance on these signal systems. Routine maintenance includes, but is not limited to, annual preventative maintenance, modifying existing signal timing plans to address observed operational issues, updating signal component firmware, replacing failed pedestrian and vehicle signal indicators, and repairing/replacing Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) devices.

 

Scott County and the City of Shakopee do not currently have a cooperative maintenance agreement for the traffic signal systems but Scott County has been assisting with the required maintenance without a formal agreement. This agreement codifies the routine maintenance tasks for all three (3) intersections.

Budget Impact:
There is no budget impact as a result of this agreement. Scott County currently performs routine maintenance on the three (3) city owned traffic signals and the cost is budgeted for in the Street Maintenance budget. Upon execution of this agreement, routine maintenance will continue to be paid out of the Street Maintenance budget.
