The changes to the professional service agreement with Freese and Nichols Inc. resulted in more than $100,000 of additional cost, and now the project is estimated to cost $527,000.
In October, the project was separated from one to two different phases, according to previous Community Impact reporting.
Phase 1 includes a westbound right-turn lane on Glade Road, the turn lane and reconstructed pavement, water, and sewer on Roberts Road, between Glade and the Pleasant Glade Baptist Church driveway.
The details
Phase 2 of the project on Roberts Road includes:
- Design of the roadway
- Traffic signalization—if warranted by traffic study
- Drainage improvements
- Curb ramps at Roberts Road and Glad Road intersection
- Utility improvements from north of Glade Road to the city limits near Birch Avenue
What else?
The second change is conducting a signal analysis to see if there needs to be a traffic signal added at Roberts Road and Glade Road. An intersection traffic count would determine if a light would be warranted, according to documents. This addition to the contract was for $8,400.
