Nolensville staff update board on stormwater ARP work, pedestrian signal bids and TDOT road project costs
Summary
Town staff told the board that the stormwater ARP modeling is over halfway complete, the Sunset Elementary pedestrian signal is out to bid, and a TDOT project (York & Williams Road) came in higher than estimates—potentially requiring the town to cover about half of the overage.
Town staff updated the Board of Commissioners on several capital and transportation projects during the Dec. 16 work session.
On the stormwater ARP grant, staff (Speaker 2) said modeling is more than halfway complete and that design work will follow; staff will identify about half a dozen projects to be advanced under the grant. The Sunset Elementary pedestrian signal was out to bid with responses due the day after the meeting, and staff said bid review will likely push contract approval into January or February. "It's gonna take a little bit of time to process those, confirm qualifications...I would not be able to get that on [this meeting], likely be the January session February approval contract," staff said.
Regarding a state-led project on York and Williams Road, staff reported the low bidder (Rogers Group) came in materially higher than the town’s estimates; if TDOT asks the town for additional funds, the town’s share would be roughly half the negotiated increase after subtracting prior town contributions. Staff estimated the bid was around $3.3 million compared with the town’s estimate of roughly $2.5 million, and noted the town had previously contributed about $1.2 million to that project.
Right-of-way work for Rocky Fork Road Phase 1 is ongoing, and staff recommended pre-ordering poles and controllers for signal systems because lead times may be six months to a year. For Sunset path lighting, staff described a $450,000 pedestrian-scale lighting design by Kimberly Horn; staff said an alternative arrangement with Milton C Electric could wrap installation and ongoing maintenance into a monthly fee, reducing upfront capital needs.
Commissioners asked staff to return with cost estimates and a recommended path forward for each item. No formal votes occurred during the work session.
