A Resolution Approving a Task Order with Civiltech Engineering, Inc. for Professional Transportation Engineering Services for a Traffic Signal Modification Study in an Amount Not to Exceed $247,128 and Authorizing its Execution
end
Introduction
overview
The Engineering Division requested a proposal from Civiltech Engineering to provide transportation engineering services to review the 41 traffic signals within the Village and develop signal timing, phasing, and equipment modification recommendations to improve pedestrian mobility and safety including the use of leading pedestrian intervals and pedestrian recall when practical. Civiltech is currently under a Master Agreement with the Village for on-call transportation engineering services using a task order system. Civiltech submitted a proposal with an estimate not to exceed the amount of $247,128.

Recommended Action
Adopt the Resolution.
Prior Board Action
The Board has taken the following prior action:
* On July 16, 2024, the Board approved a Three-Year Master Agreement with an Option to Renew the Agreement for up to Two Additional One-Year Periods with Civiltech Engineering, Inc. for Professional Transportation Engineering Services (RES 24-247).
Background
Improving pedestrian safety and mobility at the signalized intersection through the use of leading pedestrian interval (LPI) and pedestrian recall, when appropriate, is a recommendation in the Vision Zero Plan (VZP). LPI is a low-cost way to improve pedestrian safety by changing the signal timing settings to allow pedestrians to enter the crosswalk in an intersection before any green lights are given to a vehicle, reducing the risk of conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles. As a result, pedestrians are more visible to vehicles and LPI increases the likelihood that drivers will yield to pedestrians. LPIs do take away green time from vehicular traffic, which should be evaluated and programmed into re...
