PALM CITY ROAD IMPROVEMENTS (RC):
RESOLUTION No. 22-2019; A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STUART, FLORIDA AUTHORIZING BUDGET AMENDMENT No. 4 AND CIP AMENDMENT No. 2 TO THE 2018-2019 GENERAL FUND AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN, APPROPRIATING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS FOR THE PALM CITY ROAD RAISED CROSSWALKS PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $150,000.00, INCORPORATING PROJECT INTO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
Summary Explanation/Background Information on Agenda Request:
At the January 14, 2019 Commission meeting, the Commission unanimously approved the City to move forward with the installation of four raised crosswalks along SW Palm City Road. In addition, the Commission requested staff to examine the possibility of making the existing pedestrian crosswalk traffic flashers pedestrian activated.
Staff presented a cost of $95,000.00 to construct the raised crosswalks; however, the cost did not include converting the existing pedestrian crosswalk traffic flashers to pedestrian activated since this discussion took place after the presentation. During design, we'll look at two different options for pedestrian activated flashers. The first, and much cheaper option, would be to replace the existing solar assembly and signage with an assembly that is pedestrian activated and easily installs on the existing poles. If this option is not feasible, then the next, but more expensive option would be to remove the existing ten (10) poles and solar assemblies and replace them with ten (10) new poles and solar assemblies. This budget amendment includes the most expensive option incase the first option is not feasible; therefore, the total project cost is $150,000.00.
