MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 10, 1999
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
FROM: James W. Shira, P.E. 40„ '
City Engineer/Utilities Director
SUBJECT: Maguire Road Improvement Project
Approval of 90% Design and Authorization for Permitting and Construction
The Maguire Road Improvement Project has been proceeding at a steady pace towards
completion. PEC, Inc. has reached the 90 percent level in the design and they and Staff are
ready to proceed towards completion of design, permitting, and award of construction for this
necessary project. The project limits start approximately 1200 feet south of the intersection of
Maguire Road and Roberson Road and extend north to the intersection of Maguire Road and
Mercantile Court. The project generally involves the widening from two lanes, plus intermittent
turn lanes, to a full four lane "urban section" road with raised median and turn lanes in the area
south of the turnpike, a new four lane divided bridge over the turnpike, a five lane section north
of the turnpike, and including utility relocation as required.
On October 11, 1999, a public meeting was held in the Commission Chambers to provide any
interested residents and/or commercial business owners with a formal explanation of the entire
project. Written comments from that meeting have already been previously forwarded to each of
you under separate cover. While numerous questions were raised with regard to construction
activities, resident inconveniences, and vehicle access into and out of the residential and
commercial developments, the general consensus was acceptance of the project. Representatives
of PEC, Inc. will be making a similar presentation at the regularly scheduled City Commission
Meeting on November 16, 1999.
This presentation is for securing approval of the Maguire Road Improvement Project by the City
Commission. The project plan is to complete design and secure permits early next year so that
the project can be competitively advertised for construction. Construction is scheduled to start in
early Spring of next year and should take approximately 18 to 24 months to complete. The
project is funded under the 1998 Transportation Bond Issue.
