SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION:

Summary Recommendation

Authorize an engineering design services contract for the initial scoping documents of 40th Street from Avenue 6E to Avenue 7E in the amount of $116,680.00 to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., Tucson, Arizona. (Engineering RFQ-26-180) (David Wostenberg/ Robin R. Wilson)

STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

The 40th Street project promotes the City Council’s Safe and Prosperous strategic outcome by making roads safer, improving traffic flow, and fostering economic growth in the long term. Additionally, the project supports the Connected and Engaged strategic outcome by enhancing multimodal connections across US-195, and by including coordinated planning and public outreach efforts that keep residents informed and involved throughout the project's development.

 

REPORT:

The City is advancing improvements along the 40th Street corridor between Avenue 6E and Avenue 7E, starting with the Phase 1 design led by Kimley-Horn. The design will focus on creating an Intersection Control Evaluation Report to explore possible intersection options at 40th Street and State Route 195, such as at-grade concepts and a potential grade-separated Single Point Urban Interchange. Additional efforts include analyzing traffic data, projecting current and future conditions, developing conceptual layouts, and considering safety and cost for each option.

 

Phase 1 sets the foundation for choosing the safest and most effective long-term solution for the intersection at 40th Street and SR 195. By integrating traffic modeling, safety analysis, and preliminary cost estimates with collaborative outreach, the study provides the City and ADOT leaders with a clear understanding of how each alternative performs both now and in the future. The findings from this phase will inform the selection of the preferred option and prepare the City to move forward into Phase 2, which involves detailed engineering and final construction planning.
