A contract for engineering firm Fuss & O’Neill to design a roundabout at the intersection of Shippan Avenue, Harbor Drive and Magee Avenue is headed to the Board of Representatives for a vote, after the board’s transportation committee unanimously approved it Wednesday night. The contract includes the road redesign, as well as an analysis of the area’s drainage system. It would cost the city $470,440. The contract was revised earlier this month to include drainage analysis after Watkins brought forward constituent concerns about frequent flooding in the area, according to a city memo. The project would now feature drainage work, in addition to the road redesign — the addition of drainage analysis also increased the contract’s fee from an earlier assessment of $308,000. If the contract is approved by the Board of Representatives, the design process will move forward. If the design is feasible, Petise said there are multiple state programs that could provide funding for the construction project. An estimate of the project’s total cost would come after the designs are done.
