Consider and take action on Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with ARKK Engineers, LLC for the Central Park Blvd Project, in the amount of $ 64,125.00 to add the survey, engineering, design and contract administration for the addition of a traffic signal at the intersection of Fm 2004 and Central Park Blvd to the scope of work.  

On November 5, 2025, the City Commission of Texas City approved and agreement for professional services with ARKK Engineers, LLC, for the engineering design and construction contract administration phase of the Central Park Boulevard Extension Project 

The engineering for the Central Blvd Extension included a traffic corridor study for mobility planning and a traffic warrant study to determine whether a traffic signal was warranted at FM 2004/Central Park Blvd.  the study utilized existing traffic volumes and also projected the anticipated traffic volumes through 2045 for the traffic signal warrant study. The studies showed a new traffic signal will be warranted at the intersection of FM 2004 and Central Park Blvd when the extension is completed and the intersection opened to traffic.   In addition to the traffic signal additional curb ramps and crosswalks will be added to provide pedestrian crossings across FM 2004.

ARKK Engineers will utilize the services of TDAI (Traff Data & Associates, Inc.) a traffic engineering consulting firm to aid with the traffic signal design.  The traffic signal project will be packaged and bid with the roadway construction project.

Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 1 to the existing agreement with ARKK Engineers for professional services for the Central Park Boulevard Extension Project to add the survey, engineering, design and contract administration services for the addition of a new traffic signal at the intersection of FM 2004 and Central Park Blvd to the project.
