Flagstaff council awards cooperative purchase for temporary signal at West Route 66 and Woody Mountain Road
Summary
Council approved a cooperative purchase contract with CS Construction for a temporary traffic signal at West Route 66 and Woody Mountain Road ($574,500), funded in part by a $1.9 million state appropriation (Senate Bill 1737) and administered under an ADOT IGA.
The Flagstaff City Council voted Feb. 3 to award a cooperative purchase contract to CS Construction Inc. to build a temporary traffic signal at the intersection of West Route 66 and Woody Mountain Road.
Paul Mood, the city engineer, said the project was funded in part by a $1.9 million appropriation from Senate Bill 1737 and that the city previously approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Arizona Department of Transportation to receive the funds. Mood said the construction contract with CS Construction is for $574,500, with a contract allowance of $43,087.50 (7.5%) and delegated change-order authority to the city manager of $57,450 (10% less allowances). He said the poles are a long-lead item (about 17 weeks), the city secured a temporary meter pedestal from Public Works to avoid a 40-week lead, geotechnical work is underway and the estimated signal activation date is June 29.
Council Member Spence asked whether the temporary signal placement accounts for future ADOT improvements to West Route 66; Mood said the signal is temporary and will be removed when permanent improvements occur, and that remaining funds from the SB1737 appropriation could help future improvements. Council Member Matthews thanked staff for advancing the project quickly to address safety concerns in the growing neighborhood.
Council moved and approved the cooperative purchase contract and related allowances; staff will proceed with procurement and ordering long-lead components.
