The City of Auburn is soliciting Proposals from qualified consulting teams to provide professional services for the design, geotechnical evaluation and recommendations, environmental permitting and approvals for the M Street NE Widening (E Main St to 4th St NE), CP2210. This project will include: The project involves the widening of M Street NE between E Main Street and 4th Street NE to create a complete 4-lane cross-section, comprising two northbound lanes, a single southbound lane, and a center Two-Way Left Turn Lane (TWLTL). The widening is expected to take place on the west side of the roadway within the existing Right of Way (ROW). Changes to lane configurations are planned both south and north of E Main Street, converting right-turn lanes into shared through/right-turn lanes. o Additionally, the project includes the reconstruction of traffic signals at the M Street NE/SE and E Main Street intersection and modifications to the signal at 4th Street NE to accommodate the widening. The signal reconstruction involves installing new signal poles, evaluating signal design for flashing yellow lights, and considering new power sources. The project also includes the installation of new Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) cameras, video detection, and pedestrian signal poles. o The pavement within the project scope will undergo full-depth reconstruction, with a potential grind & overlay at the intersection of M Street NE and 4th Street NE. Other elements include the relocation of a transmission pole, replacement of existing lights with LED lights, installation of communication and street light conduits, signage to close pedestrian crossings, and potential relocation of transit stops. o Utility work involves the replacement of water services, sewer lines, and storm drainage facilities. This includes connecting water services to an existing water main, replacing sewer lines with PVC and repairing a belly in the pipe, and installing new storm pipes, including 770 LF of 12" PVC storm pipe where no storm drainage facilities currently exist. Overall, the project aims to enhance road capacity, improve traffic signals, and upgrade utility infrastructure along M Street NE.
