Summary
The board approved a $1.79 million contract with A and F Engineering to design and inspect improvements on Carmel Drive between Keystone and Rangeline, a project that could include a road diet and roundabouts, officials said.
The Board of Public Works and Safety approved a professional-services contract with A and F Engineering Company LLC for design and construction inspection of improvements on Carmel Drive from Keystone to Rangeline on May 7.
Brad Pease, Director of Engineering, described the project as "a very exciting and transformative project for Carmel," noting the segment's existing four-lane section and a likely conversion to a road diet with roundabouts along the corridor. The approved contract (A and F Engineering Company LLC, $1,791,740.24) covers design and inspection services for the listed limits.

Details and next steps: The contract funds design and field inspection; the transcript does not include a construction schedule, funding source breakdown, or specific roundabout locations. Staff did not request extra conditions in the discussion recorded in the meeting.
