Council approves $617,000 design amendment to extend South College Avenue phase 4
Summary
Council approved a design amendment for GLS Engineering not to exceed $617,000 to extend design limits on South College Avenue Phase 4 into East 29th Street, aligning downtown reconstruction to Midtown Park and Villa Maria; design completion targeted by Fall 2026 and construction forecast through 2029.
Staff presented a design amendment to GLS Engineering that expands the Phase 4 design for South College Avenue from Carson through Dodge and into East 29th Street. The additional work was described as costing $617,000 and would make the total phase design contract just under $1.5 million; staff said the amendment completes corridor design linking downtown to Villa Maria and Midtown Park.
Project staff noted scope remains two travel lanes (one each direction), a shared-use path on one side and a sidewalk on the other, with design completion expected by Fall 2026 and construction potentially finishing in 2029. Council approved the amendment unanimously and staff said part of the construction funding will be included in the FY26 debt issuance while additional funding is scheduled for 2028.
