SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The proposed design will improve and widen Durango Street from approximately 500 feet west of Miller
Road to Yuma Road, with an additional extension north along Yuma Road of approximately 1,200 feet,
progressing the corridor toward its ultimate cross-section consistent with the City’s Transportation Master
Plan. These improvements are intended to enhance traffic flow, improve safety, and support continued
residential and commercial growth in the surrounding area.
The project includes roadway widening, intersection enhancements at Durango Street and Yuma Road,
installation of curb, gutter, and sidewalk, and reconstruction of adjacent half-street improvements along
residential frontages. Additional improvements include construction of a raised center median with
landscape treatments in accordance with the City’s Gateway standards, drainage infrastructure
upgrades, utility coordination and relocation, and right-of-way acquisition as necessary to accommodate
the proposed improvements.
Construction management services are being provided under the existing Professional Services
Agreement (Contract No. 32500002) with LJA Engineering, Inc. The requested change order will support
the construction, coordination, and delivery of CIP Project No. 100630 – Durango Street – Miller Road to
Yuma Road Roadway Improvements. This change order increases the contract by $87,500, resulting in
a total contract value of $1,037,480.
BENEFITS:
The project will improve roadway capacity and safety while supporting continued residential and
commercial growth in the surrounding area. These improvements also advance the City’s Transportation
Master Plan and reduce long-term infrastructure demands on existing roadways.

for this Project.
