Item/Subject: Order, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with the Maine Department
of Transportation — Godfrey Boulevard/Maine Avenue Roundabout Project, PIN
#17321.00
Responsible Department: Engineering
Commentary:
The attached Order would authorize the City Manager to execute a Local Project Agreement with Maine
Department of Transportation for design of a one -lane roundabout at the intersection of Godfrey Boulevard
and Maine Avenue. Estimated project cost not to exceed 354,185, with the City's share of approximately
35,416.00. The roundabout will replace an existing signalized intersection and is considered a better traffic
control technique at this location and will also present a "gateway" to the Airport. This initial agreement is for
completing design and will likely also provide some construction funding. Additional funding in MDOT's next
Biennial Transportation Improvement Program will be needed to undertake construction, likely in 2012.
A Copy of the Agreement is attached.
