DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
At its February 7, 2023, board meeting, the Board approved a contract for Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) to evaluate and update the existing Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) for SW 38th/40th St Phase A and SW 38th St Phase B (from SW 80th Ave to SW 43rd Ct). The PER will investigate and report on widening the current roadway from two lanes to four, alternative alignments for the new four-lane roadway, intersection improvements, and impacted right-of-way. The planned four-lane roadway will have a 120’ right-of-way, grassed median, bicycle lanes on each side of the roadway, and a 5’ wide sidewalk and 12’ wide multi-use path on opposing sides.
As an addendum to the PER, KHA will be tasked to look at an alternative access road from SW 67th Ave Rd to West Port High School Bus Loop to determine if this new two-lane would reduce current traffic levels on SW 38th St. The PER will include KHA investigation and recommendations on the alternative access road.
Attached for review is a draft contract; pending approval at today’s meeting, it will be sent to the firm for execution and later routed for the County Attorney, Clerk, and Chair’s signatures.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Neutral; expenditure of $16,870. Funding is from GB772541-563512 - Impact Fee - West District.
