Council approves construction contract for Stroh Road soccer-park signal
Summary
Council approved a construction contract to install a traffic signal and associated roadway work near the Stroh Road/Soccer Park intersection; staff said the project is funded and contractors bid between roughly $536,000 and $614,000 with a recommended award to F and F Construction Inc.
The Parker Town Council approved a construction contract to install a traffic signal and related roadway improvements at the Stroh Road / Soccer Park intersection.
Staff said the project had been on the town radar for several months, a traffic warrant had been completed, and bids for the combined work ranged from about $536,000 to $614,000. Because F and F Construction, Inc. was already mobilized in the area for nearby work, staff recommended awarding the contract to that contractor to reduce impacts and take advantage of competitive pricing.
Staff described project timing: notice to proceed in February, mobilization in April, and an objective to complete the intersection work before seasonal demands tied to school and park use. Council members asked about bid-range differences, long-lead items (signal poles/masters) and pedestrian crossings for nearby school routes; staff said spacing and conduit quantities can explain cost differences and added that timing will include a flashing yellow for the soccer-park entrance during initial operations to maintain flow.
Council moved and approved the contract award during the meeting. The transcript records supportive council comments and a passed motion; an itemized roll-call tally is not recorded in the excerpt provided.
