Summary
Public Works requested a professional‑services agreement with Horrocks LLC (design firm) for turn‑lane additions and a traffic signal at the S. 15 East and E. 49 South intersection; council approved the agreement not to exceed $237,812 with state/local grant participation for reimbursement.
Public Works Director (name not specified in transcript) presented a proposed local professional services agreement with Horrocks LLC to design turn lanes and a traffic signal at the intersection of South 15 East and East 49 South.
Under the agreement, Horrocks will develop the design required to add turn lanes and install a traffic signal. The professional‑services cost is not to exceed $237,812; the city will pay the upfront amount and expects reimbursement of approximately 92.66% from the funding program. Director Frederickson told council construction funding is anticipated in 2027 and that the project would share costs with Bonneville County where applicable.
Why it matters: staff said the intersection improvements are intended to address safety and operations on a corridor with growth and will be funded through a Local Highway Safety Improvement Program (as described by staff) and related participation agreements.

Councilors asked staff to confirm funding sources and timelines. A motion to approve the professional services agreement with Horrocks LLC and authorize the mayor and city clerk to execute the necessary documents passed on roll call vote.
Next steps
Horrocks will proceed with design; staff will return to council with construction documents and a schedule as funding availability and reimbursement agreements are executed.
