�O� DFc'a <br /> - C <br /> V 70 <br /> '�[LINO�S I <br /> June 8, 1998 <br /> PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM <br /> NO. 98 - 37 <br /> MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> FROM: James L. Williams, Jr., City Manager � <br /> Bruce A. McNabb, P.E., Director of Public Works� <br /> Matthew C. Newell, P.E., Traffic Engineer yylC� <br /> SUBJECT: Contract for Surveying Services <br /> � for Traffic Signal Improvement Projects <br /> City Project 9809 <br /> An item on the agenda for the City Council Meeting to be held on June 15, 1998, is a <br /> contract with Homer L. Chastain & Associates to provide surveying services at a cost to the City <br /> of$8,810. The surveying information provided through this contract will be used by City staff in <br /> the engineering design of the traffic signal improvement projects scheduled for Fiscal Year <br /> 1998-99. <br /> Timely surveying services are a crucial part of an engineering design. The Engineering <br /> Division of the Public Works Department is not able to provide these services due to the demands <br /> currently placed upon them by other projects. It is imperative that the surveying for this year's <br /> traffic signal work be completed within the next month to allow the project to be substantially <br /> completed prior to winter. Since a significant portion of this year's signal work will be in the <br /> downtown area, the early completion of the surveyin�work is critical to minimizing the disruption <br /> to the public. <br /> In early May, the City sent requests to those firms within the Decatur area that had the <br /> capability to provide the required services. Two responses were received. City staff has reviewed <br /> the information provided by each firm and recommends that the contract for these services be <br /> awarded to Homer L. Chastain& Associates. <br />
