Site work and paving for a civil project in Oregon, Ohio. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

It is anticipated that this project will follow an ODOT Path 2 Project Development Process (PDP), which will involve Preliminary Engineering (PE), Environmental Engineering (EE), and Final Engineering (FE) phases. The scope will include preparing the construction plans with all associated traffic and maintenance of traffic items, utility coordination, geotechnical services, environmental clearance, R/W plans, and legal descriptions. The design shall also include decorative features that were included as aesthetic enhancements as part of the previous completed safety projects on Navarre Avenue. The following are some of the services that are anticipated to be needed for the design portion of this project: 1. Field survey 2. Location and verification of existing utilities 3. Environmental clearance 4. Roadway design 5. Traffic signal design 6. Intersection design 7. Storm water and drainage design 8. Bridge design 9. Erosion control design 10. Signage and pavement marking design 11. Maintenance of traffic design 12. Preparation right of way plans and legal descriptions 13. Preparation of final construction plans, specifications, and cost estimate The services include preparation of construction contract plans for the LUC-SR 2-21.72 project in the City of Oregon, a project to add a median safety barrier along the approximate 3/4 mile section of Navarre Avenue between Isaac Streets Drive and Coy Road. Two new signals are proposed to be installed at Harbor Drive and Kroger Drive along with the relocation another traffic signal. This section five-lane segment of Navarre Avenue (SR 2) is classified as a Principal Arterial with a speed limit of 40 MPH with crash patterns from a recent safety study being typical of a congested commercial corridor. Two other safety improvement projects were awarded to roadway segments immediately adjacent to the current project area. The first was safety project LUC-2-21.24 (PID 96295) directly to the west completed in 2017, which addressed many of the same safety concerns being analyzed in this safety study. The second project is on the eastern edge of the current study area for LUC-2- 22.51 at the intersection of Coy Road (PID 109596) and is set to finish construction by May 2023. This section of SR-2/Navarre Avenue is identified in ODOT's 2020 Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Priority Locations spreadsheet as well as the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) Safety Locations Report that was updated in June of 2021. In ODOT's 2020 HSIP Priority Locations spreadsheet, seven segments within the study area were listed under the Urban Non-Freeway section. The segments listed varied in rank between #36 and #1,100. In TMACOG's 2021 Safety Locations Report, two segments, consisting of the entire study area, were listed as top safety locations for the Metropolitan Planning Organization's (MPO) service area. The first segment listed is from the Navarre Shopping Center, just east of Big Lots, to S Coy Road and is ranked #10. The second segment listed is from Isaac Streets Drive to the Navarre Shopping Center and is ranked #18. A review of the crash data yielded 243 crashes within the corridor during the 5-year study period from 2017-2021. The crash data gathered suggested several notable crash patterns. First, most crashes were coded as either occurring at driveways or 'not an intersection'. Also, 40% of crashes were injury crashes with no fatalities. The most common crash type was rear ends followed by angle crashes. Many crashes occurred during the day and during dry conditions. The most prevalent contributing factors for crashes were failure to yield and following too close. The response due date will not be considered. Estimated Construction Cost: $ 7,500,000.00 Based on the recommendations of the safety study, the following proposed countermeasures are to be implemented as part of the project: 4. Signal Improvements d) Install Traffic Signals o Harbor Drive (new) o Kroger Drive (new) o Kingston Court (relocate Big Lots/Ralphie's signal) e) Coordinate Arterial Signals f) Modify Change Plus Clearance Interval to ITE 1985 Proposed Recommended Practice 5. Access Management g) Install Raised Median between Isaac Streets Drive and Coy Road h) Change driveway density by relocating or removing excessive drives 6. Corridor Improvements i) Resurface Pavement j) Install overhead lane use signs with new signals The project will also include signage, street lighting, pavement markings, sidewalk, ADA ramps and related work, as necessary. The City of Oregon also intends to include streetscape elements similar to the adjacent Navarre Avenue/SR 2 safety improvement projects.
