Design Contract Increase: Capacity Increase, Avenue 4E, 32nd Street to 40th Street Widening and Sewer and Water Extensions
end
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION:
Summary Recommendation
Authorize a contract increase for additional design scope of work on the Capacity Increase, Avenue 4E, 32nd Street to 40th Street Widening and Sewer and Water Extensions project for a total expenditure of $370,395.00 to Nicklaus Engineering, Inc., Yuma, Arizona. (Engineering-RFQ-2017-20000133) (David Wostenberg/Robin R. Wilson)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
This project supports the City Council’s Safe and Prosperous strategic outcome by improving intersection safety, traffic operations, and overall roadway performance along the Avenue 4E corridor. It also advances the Respected and Responsible strategic outcome by investing in long-term infrastructure improvements that extend the life of the City’s transportation system.
REPORT:
The initial design contract awarded to Nicklaus Engineering, Inc. for this project totaled $215,258.00 and includes the design to widen Avenue 4E from 32nd Street to 40th Street. The scope incorporates a multi-use pathway, traffic signal upgrades, utility relocation, and dedicated left- and right-turn lanes at the 32nd Street and 40th Street intersections.
A proposed change order in the amount of $155,137.00 will expand the project scope to include the addition of right-turn lanes on 32nd Street at the Avenue 4E intersection and the full build-out design for the 40th Street and Avenue 4E intersection. These improvements are necessary to address roadway capacity constraints and enhance intersection operations along the corridor.
Growth in the surrounding area including new manufacturing and light industrial development, as well as the planned extension of 40th Street continues to increase traffic volumes and truck activity. In addition, site restrictions related to the adjacent United States Bureau of Reclamation canal and Arizona Public Service infrastructure require extensive coordination. Completing the full build-out design now ensures this coordination occurs once and avoids the need for future redesign. The expanded scope will improve traffic flow, increase safety, and support anticipated development in the area.
Design work for the added scope is expected to begin in July 2026 and be completed by summer 2027.
