TAC approves scope change for Salt Lake County signal interconnect project; no new funding requested
Summary
The Technical Advisory Committee approved a scope modification to PIN 15919, adjusting the Salt Lake County signal interconnect to about 27–28 intersections without additional regional funds; Chris Norland moved, Tamron seconded and the committee approved the change by voice vote.
The TransCom Technical Advisory Committee voted to approve a scope modification to a Salt Lake County signal interconnect project (PIN 15919), a change that adjusts the project’s intersection count without increasing the previously approved funding.
Ben presented the modification and told members the original concept — reviewed in 2019 — listed about 40 intersections. Over time, some intersections were completed through other projects and several locations incurred higher-than-expected construction costs. Ben said the county’s revised scope covers roughly 27–28 intersections and the project’s updated estimated cost is about $965,355 (including a local match), while the original $900,000 of regional funding remains the applicable allocation.
Motion and outcome: Chris Norland (Salt Lake City) moved to approve the scope change; Tamron (MSD) seconded. The chair called for voice votes and declared the motion approved. The transcript records multiple “aye” responses; individual member vote names and a precise numerical tally were not provided in the record.
Committee guidance and readiness: Ben stated the county has agreements in place with affected cities and indicated the project is ready to proceed under the modified scope. Members asked clarifying questions about the original and revised signal counts during the presentation; speakers used slightly different counts in the discussion (Ben referenced 28 remaining signals while another participant noted 27), and Ben explained that some intersections were completed under other projects or taken by UDOT as part of separate work.
Next steps: With the scope modification approved, Ben said the county will move forward with the revised work. The committee will continue program oversight as projects advance and invited members to bring any specific concerns about individual intersections to staff attention.
Ending: The committee approved the scope change by voice vote and moved on to the technical project preview.
