CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
SUBJECT:
CIP PROJECT #42053 - COTTON LANE AND YUMA ROAD LANE ADDITION
STAFF PRESENTER(S):
Christopher Bridges, Transportation Planning Manager
SUMMARY
Advancing project #42053 - Cotton Lane & Yuma Road Lane Addition from FY2024 to FY2023, modifying scope and authorizing necessary budget amendments and all expenditures to the full budgeted amount, increasing the project budget in the amount of $965,000 for the purposes of constructing additional lanes, for enhanced vehicle capacity in the vicinity of the Cotton Lane and Yuma Road intersection.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve advancing project #42053 - Cotton Lane & Yuma Road Lane Addition from FY2024 to FY2023, modifying scope and authorizing necessary budget amendments and all expenditures to the full budgeted amount, up to $3,035,500. (Christopher Bridges, Transportation Planning Manager)
FISCAL IMPACT
This project is currently in the design stage with construction programmed in FY2024 in the amount of $1,685,000. This request would advance project funding from FY2024 to FY2023 and require additional funding in the amount of $965,000.
The total project budget for Project 42053 - Cotton Lane & Yuma Road Lane Addition will increase from $2,070,500 to $3,035,500. This budget amendment request will move the entire project budget into FY2023 and accelerate the substantial completion date of the project from December 2024 to December 2023.
A Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Contract will be executed following council expenditure authorization. All costs related to this project including Construction Administration Services, Plan Review Costs, Design Costs, FFE and IT costs have been finalized and will be covered under this expenditure authorization.
BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS
The original project scope was for a lane addition to Yuma Road and for a possible additional southbound tapered lane to Cotton Lane. However, to keep the project within the existing right-of-way and to address the issue of vehicle volume to capacity while still meeting minimum engineering standards, additional work is required on Southbound Cotton Lane, North and South of the intersection with Yuma.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The Maricopa Association of Governments has stated the SR 303 construction along the Cotton Lane alignment is fully funded and is programmed for construction in FY2025 and will extend from Van Buren to MC 85. Construction is anticipated to occur in late FY2025 or early FY2026 timeframe based on the current level of design. The connection to MC 85 for the SR 303 project is intended to be a longer-term solution, in the absence of an approved Prop 400 extension. Currently, the roadway and intersection of Cotton Lane and Yuma Road is operating at approximately 114% over capacity North of the intersection and 137% over capacity South of the intersection causing traffic congestion in this location.
The proposed improvements with Project 42053 would all be interim in nature and will be removed with the SR 303 construction. However, the installation of these improvements will immediately improve the capacity of the roadway in the vicinity of this critical intersection and help alleviate the congestion problems travelers currently face. These proposed interim improvements are planned to be substantially completed and in place by December 2023 and will remain in place for approximately two to three years depending on actual SR 303 construction timing.
The intent is to hire an existing job order contractor to accelerate project delivery and the scope of work is as follows:
· Add right turn lane Southbound (SB) to Westbound (WB) at the Cotton and Yuma intersection
· Create two SB through lanes and two SB receiving lanes at Cotton/Yuma
· Lane drop SB near the Moose Lodge property and transition back to one-lane each direction
· Add a dedicated SB left turn lane on Cotton Lane at Pima St
· Remove and/or modify existing medians
· Re-locate APS service pole at Moose Lodge to the west right-of-way line
· Add WB receiving lane on Yuma Road
· Does NOT require additional right-of-way acquisition
