Summary

The City Council is set to adopt Resolution No. 4702-26, awarding Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 26-11 for the Oviedo Mall Boulevard and Dovera Drive Intersection Improvements Project to Chinchor Electric, Inc. for $121,000. An additional 10% contingency of $12,100 is approved, bringing the total project cost to $133,100. The project aims to improve traffic operations and pedestrian access at the intersection, which currently has a non-operational and unwarranted traffic signal. Key improvements include removing existing mast arms and signals, removing pedestrian signals, and installing highlighted, solar-powered stop signs. Additionally, striping will be revised to eliminate the exclusive westbound turn lane along Oviedo Mall Boulevard and one northbound left turn lane along Dovera Drive. The project is funded by the Local Option Gas Tax Fund (Fund 105), requiring a budget amendment of $33,100 to supplement the existing $100,000 allocation. Work is expected to be substantially complete within 30 calendar days and finally complete within 40 calendar days of the Notice to Proceed.

Citizen Impact

This project will improve traffic flow and safety at the Oviedo Mall Boulevard and Dovera Drive intersection by replacing an unwarranted traffic signal with solar-powered stop signs and optimizing lane configurations. Residents will experience better pedestrian access and a more efficient intersection, funded through existing Local Option Gas Tax funds.
