SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Staff requests City Council approval to preauthorize the City Manager to administer construction
activities for CIP Project No. 109420 – HAWK –9th St. and Monroe Ave. and Apache Rd, North of
Youngker HS, up to the remaining approved construction budget of $767,000.00, thereby allowing the
project to be delivered without unnecessary delay.
The City of Buckeye proposes installing two (2) HAWK signals, also known as pedestrian hybrid
beacons, at S. Apache Road, north of Youngker High School, and at 9th Street and Monroe Avenue.
These improvements are intended to enhance pedestrian safety by providing controlled crossings at
locations with significant pedestrian activity.
The project includes installation of signal poles, mast arms, pedestrian signal heads, push buttons, signal
cabinets, communication equipment, and associated electrical infrastructure. Civil improvements will
include Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps, sidewalk modifications, pavement
markings, and signage. All work will be completed in accordance with the approved construction
documents prepared by HR Green Civil Engineering Firm.
Design for both locations has been completed, and utility coordination has been conducted. No utility
relocations are anticipated, except power supply from Arizona Public Service (APS) for electrical service.
Approval of this action will allow the City to proceed with the construction of these pedestrian safety

improvements.
BENEFITS:
The project will enhance pedestrian safety by providing controlled crossings at locations with high
pedestrian activity, particularly near Youngker High School and at the school crossing located at North
9th Street and East Monroe Avenue. The installation of HAWK signals will help reduce pedestrian-
vehicle conflicts by stopping traffic when pedestrians are present and improving visibility of the crossing
locations. These improvements support the City’s commitment to safer, more accessible transportation
for pedestrians, students, and motorists, while enhancing connectivity within the surrounding
neighborhoods and school areas.
FUTURE ACTION:
Upon City Council approval, the City Manager will execute the construction contract and issue a Notice
of Award to proceed with the project. City staff will coordinate with the contractor, design team, and
internal departments to monitor progress, ensure compliance, and conduct inspections throughout
construction. Final inspections and closeout activities will support facility acceptance and occupancy.
The project will be completed once all contractual requirements are met and the substation is fully
operational.

The Project is programmed under account 50211104 - 543241 in Fiscal Year (FY) 26 with a total
