Resolution to Approve an Agreement with the Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority for Modifications to the South Maple Road & Scio Church Road Intersection
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to authorize an agreement with the Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority ("The Ride") to make traffic control modifications to the intersection of South Maple Road & Scio Church Road.
As part of their expansion of service, The Ride is modifying their bus routes in this area such that a bus will now need to make a right turn from southbound Maple Road to westbound Scio Church Road. In order to accommodate this turn by busses, the traffic signal and stop bar on the west leg of Scio Church need to be moved approximately 80 feet to the west.
As the City of Ann Arbor Field Operations crews have the expertise to complete this work, the Ride has requested that the City perform the work. The cost of this work is estimated at approximately $56,855, and will be paid for by The Ride, including any overages that may be incurred during the completion of the work.
The attached document outlines the terms of the agreement between the City and the Ride to complete the work described above.
Budget/Fiscal Impact
The cost for this work will be paid for entirely by The Ride. The work will have some operational impacts on Field Operations crews, as they will be performing the work, however this has been coordinated and scheduled well in advance.
