Ordinance 1871-2018 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional services contract with Burgess & Niple, Inc. for the Signals - General Engineering Signals (2018) project.

This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify the contract in the amount of $350,000.00.

In 2014, Burgess & Niple, Inc. were contracted for the design portion of the Front and Marconi project and it is now necessary to bring the plans up to current standards. This project consists of converting Front Street from Broad Street to Hickory Street and Marconi Boulevard from Broad Street to Spring Street to a two-way operation and upgrading all signals within the project limits to decorative downtown standard. Project includes installation of new granite curb, buff wash sidewalk, street and pedestrian lighting, enhanced pedestrian crossings and landscaping beds. It was deemed to be more cost efficient to modify the existing contract than to bid this part of the work.
