FISCAL IMPACT:
This contract amendment allows for an additional$100,000 above the previous approved contract for$150,000.The
Danville Boulevard Traffic Improvement Project is funded with Alamo Area of Benefits funds. There is no impact
to the General Fund.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND:
Whitlock & Weinberger Transportation, Inc. (W-Trans)will provide the necessary traffic engineering consulting
services to study the downtown Alamo corridor. The purpose of this study is to evaluate various alternatives that
would improve traffic circulation along Danville Boulevard from Stone Valley Road to Jackson Way. A review of
the accident history along Danville Boulevard indicates the potential for vehicle collisions at various driveway
locations and the center two-way left lane. Alamo residents and community groups have also expressed concerns
regarding traffic safety issues along Danville Boulevard,within the downtown Alamo area. This study will identify
alternatives that will reduce the potential for vehicle collisions and increase traffic circulation efficiency. This
amendment will allow W-Trans to be reimbursed for incurred expenses and allow the study to continue.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the contract amendment is not approved, the project will be delayed.
