Subject:
Construction Cooperative Agreement with Scott County to install flashing yellow arrow operations on five traffic signals.
Policy/Action Requested:
Authorize the Mayor and City Administrator to enter into a Construction Cooperative Agreement with Scott County to install flashing yellow arrow operations on five traffic signals.
Recommendation:

Approval of the agreement and action requested.

Discussion:

The city's 2017 Capital Improvement Plan included a project to retrofit multiple traffic signals shared by the City of Shakopee and Scott County and install flashing yellow arrow operations. The traffic signals at the following intersections are planned to have flashing yellow arrow operations installed on all legs of the intersections, the city being responsible for the cost of the city's leg(s) at the intersection:

 

  • CSAH 16 at Sarazin Street (2 city legs)
  • CSAH 18 at Crossing Boulevard (2 city legs)
  • CSAH 18 at CSAH 21 (1 city leg)
  • CSAH 83 at Dean Lake Boulevard (2 city legs)
  • CSAH 101 at CSAH 17 (1 city legs)

 

Additional traffic signals in the city are also being equipped that are being fully funded by the county (no city legs) as follows:

 

  • CSAH 101 at CSAH 83
  • CSAH 101 at Valley Park Drive
  • CSAH 101 at Stagecoach Road

 

These three traffic signals are not being equipped with the flashing yellow arrows on the city leg(s) as they are only warranted and/or feasible on the county legs of the intersection.  Attached are the agreement and cost estimate with proposed cost splits as prepared by the county. The county is also providing the design and in-construction services for this project.

Budget Impact:
The city's cost share for the improvements and other associated costs as defined within the agreement will be funded by the Capital Improvement Fund. The preliminary estimated cost is $131,337; the final cost will be determined upon the completion of the project based on actual costs.
