This will allow staff to communicate with traffic signals, make traffic signal timing adjustments as necessary based on real time traffic conditions and enhance service and increase safety at this location. After potholing for utilities, as required by the contract, for the new traffic signal poles, as shown on plans, significant conflicts were discovered with existing underground utilities preventing the installation of the traffic signal pole at the southeast corner of the intersection. In order to avoid the underground utilities the traffic signal pole was moved 8 -feet to the back of walk which is beyond the 5 -foot state limit for a pole mounted pedestrian push button (PPB) from the crosswalk. Therefore, Traffic Engineering requested the installation of a post mounted PPB to meet this state mandated requirement. The estimated additional cost will cover the procurement and installation of a working PPB. (PCO No.1) A prior approval was granted for this work on June 25, 2013. AGREED COST = $1,500 /
