City Manager recommends $60,270 engineering contract for two pedestrian beacons on Peachtree Corner Circle

The City Manager told the Peachtree Corners City Council that an RFP seeking professional engineering and design services for two pedestrian hybrid rapid flashing beacons on Peachtree Corner Circle drew four consultant responses and that staff recommends contracting with Kekkenwood for $60,270 to provide engineering design and construction administration services.

The beacons would be installed at two crossings on Peachtree Corner Circle: one near Da Vinci Court and another near Jones Mill Court, the City Manager said. The recommendation was presented as the single item on a short consent agenda.

Council action in the transcript consists of a motion to proceed. When the chair asked for a motion, a council member moved and the motion was seconded; the meeting record in the transcript does not include a roll-call vote or a final tally for the consent agenda item.

The City Manager said the procurement received four responses and that the recommended firm’s proposed cost for the engineering design and construction-administration scope is $60,270. No additional details about contract terms, schedule, or funding source were provided in the transcript.

If the council approves the consent agenda in a recorded vote outside the excerpted transcript, the selected firm would move to contract negotiations and design work; the transcript does not record those subsequent steps or an executed contract.

The meeting also included the reading of an Arbor Day proclamation and scheduling of three unrelated first-read land-use items for next month.
