Curt:
At the City's request, Binkley & Barfield / C & P, Inc. (BBCPI) has submitted this proposal to provide
professional engineering services for the completion of final traffic signal design and construction plans for
thirty (30) intersections.
Scope of Services
The Consultant will develop design plans that can be used by the City to let a contract for the following
construction elements; new traffic signal controls; pavement markings, sidewalk extensions and modifications;
and ADA ramps. The extent of each intersection's needs for these and other construction elements will vary
from intersection to intersection. However, each element will be designed for construction to the level required
by the city.
The traffic signal plans will be developed to follow current City of Denton Standards and TxDOT standards at
those intersections involving a state designated route. Our approach will be to develop the plans consistent with
the plans previously prepared for other intersections. Our proposal includes the following engineering services
for EACH traffic signal location.
A. BASE MAP PREPARATION
l . Collect available information from the City: utility information; right-of-way information; and
as -build plans.
2. Conduct topographic filed survey to include both horizontal and vertical control.
3. Create base map of existing conditions utilizing AutoCAD.
4. Conduct right-of-way research using Lone Star Record & Abstract Services.
B. PRELIMINARY PLANS
1. Design criteria; City of Denton design criteria and the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices.
