Public Works Committee approves advertising RFP for traffic signal optimization study
Summary
At its March 10 meeting the Rapid City Public Works Committee approved the consent agenda, including authorization to advertise a request for proposals for a traffic signal optimization study. The state DOT will fund 81.95% with an 18.05% local match from traffic engineering's budget.
At its March 10, 2026 meeting, the Rapid City Public Works Committee approved its consent calendar, including a motion authorizing staff to advertise a request for proposals for a traffic signal optimization study intended to address congestion in the Omaha area of the city.
The committee chair called for a motion on the consent agenda (items 1–11), and members approved it by voice vote. A committee member asked for clarification on item 11, and a staff member responded: "They are paying 81.95% of the cost of this study and then 18.05% will be a local match and that will come out of traffic engineering's budget." The staff member identified the funding source as the state Department of Transportation and said the study will include Omaha "'cuz that's where our problem is."
The authorization directs staff to advertise a request for proposals for the traffic signal optimization study; the meeting transcript records the committee's approval by voice vote but does not record a roll-call tally or the names of the motion's mover and seconder. The local match for the study is to come from the traffic engineering budget, as described by staff at the meeting.
The committee opened and closed the public comment period with no public speakers and adjourned shortly after the consent vote. No other substantive discussion or formal actions were recorded at the session.
