Agenda Item 
 
VIII B.     Approve Service Agreement and Proposal from Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc for  
      development of a Traffic Signal Retiming Plan for I-75 Exit 49 Decatur Pike Corridor      
      for a fee of $34,600 
 
Overview 
The FY 2024-25 approved Capital Improvement Fund budget includes $62,000 for an engineering 
firm to develop a traffic signal retiming plan for four intersections along the Decatur Pike Corridor. 
Those intersections are Denso Drive, I -75 North Ramps, I -75 South Ramps, Holiday Drive, and 
Lee Irwin Road (traffic counts only anticipating a new traffic signal at this location due to expected 
development). Rather than conduct a lengthy RFP process to obtain another engineering firm, city 
staff is recommending the city council approve the attached proposal from Kimley Horn Engineers, 
the firm that prepared the Traffic Safety  Action Plan of which this specific project was included 
which is authorized by TCA 12-4-107. Kimley Horn’s scope of work for this phase includes data 
collection, signal timing optimization, and field implementation for a fee of $34,600. Phase II, 
which will be budgeted for and occur during FY 2025- 26, will consist of ordering and installing 
the needed equipment at an estimated cost of $175,000. 
 
A memo from the Public Works Department and Kimley Horn’s proposal are attached. 
 
Following discussion during the March 10, 2025 work session, the consensus was to place this 
item on the March 18, 2025 regular session consent agenda for approval. 
 
Action to Consider 
Motion, second, and vote are needed to approve the proposal from Kimley Horn Engineers to 
develop a traffic signal retiming plan for I-75 Exit 49 Decatur Pike Corridor for a fee of $34,600.
