Background and Discussion:
The project consists of improvements to the intersection of Vickery Street at Lauder Road, including road widening, turning lanes, full-width concrete replacement, sidewalks, bus pads and a traffic signal
Added 151 days to the contract due to delays associated with procurement and installation of the traffic signal controller box. The controller box experienced manufacturers lead time delays and was shipped on June 30, 2025, and delivered on July 2, 2025. Installation was further delayed due to a required meter address change, which was completed on September 2, 2025. Signal installation, inspection, and activation were completed on October 16, 2025. This change will add 151 additional days.
Expected Impact:
Increase the total number of days of the contract.
Alternative Options:
No action will result in substandard construction.
