P.E. - 2 - Januarf 7, t999 Ho,,veve:, Nfs/DOT ackno,Medged that wac-rants could yet be met at l~2nd Avenue even ~er ~e roadway mud si~Ms ~e [nsr~led at CS)fl 5 ~d ~c. However, ~ey would like to be able to w~t ~d ~cmaily m~e ~c co~ ar ~at ~e ~t wo~d doc~ent sign~ w~B beMg met. ~e w~rs ~at ~ey We mated that ~ey woMd accept ~ w~m l, 2 ~d 8 of ~e M~u~ on U~fo~ ~5c ConSol Devices. This intersection is obviously in a ~ay area with regard ro requir4mg traffc signal control based on the most r:cer, t traffic counts. However, '&e project is not scheduled for bidding until October of 1999, with completion in late year 2000. As s~ result, there w/il be opportunities to review the us_fi-tic volumes at later dates. DurLng the time between mow and the completion of the project, additional developmenr-generated.=afr2c or additional traf-~c growth may occur to the point that warr~mts are satisfed. Trte 5ending of the proposed si_~naal at 142ndAvenue and the cost of its design will be 100 percent the respor~sibi!ity of the Ciq¢ orr ,amsey. Since there ,~21 be no direct b/g,n/DOT cog participation in the 142nd ).venue signal, t.hey do not oppose the installation of the conduit system during the roadway cons~.~ction project, nor do they oppose the prepszation of sisal consmacrion plans at this dine. The follo,,vis, g co,se of action w-~ outlined as a result of this discussion: The conduit system for a "~t'ure" signal at 142ndAvenue will be designed, bid and consmacted with the roadway improvement project. Interconnect cable from CSAH 118 to CS)~r-I 5 will be nxn O_rough these condm.'ts as well. The remainder of the signal system; poles, wh-ing, etc. wilt be designed and ~, eluded in the plans as a separate pay item with contract stipulations of the possible deletion of that pay [tern at a later date, however a bid pric~ will be ~aken. The installation of the completed signal system wiI1 be conmoUed in the contract time provisions by the use of a delayed stzr~ date for that work. The start date Mil be tentatively set for one month a_ffer the intersection of CSA.H 5~_'Xkzlmo has been under'fi.t/2 signal control and a tr~c count cart be made to dete~ir~e signal warrant status at 142nd Avenue. The pla_ns a.re to be completed in April of I999, wi*& the bid le~ng in October 1999. A new traff2c count and warfare ev~uarion will be made in Seotember of 1999. If the sigm. al is clemrly justified at that time, t~hen the full signal system will be authorized for construction witi~ the remainder of the proj act. If the sign~ is not justified in September of 1999, the project ~Gll be bid and constructed initially 'oAth oMy the conduit system. ~ffer the completion of the CSAH 5/'Jr -:Jcl.mo signal system in the sum_ruer of 2000, another sisal warrant analysis will be pe~ormed.
