Stansell Electric awarded $499K contract for Loop Road traffic signal
In one action, the board unanimously approved a bid and awarded a contract to Stansell Electric Inc. to install a signal at the intersection of Concord and Loop roads.
“We received two bids on July 31,” Assistant Town Engineer Eric Schindler said. “Progression Electric LLC bid $499,597.41, and Stansell Electric Inc. bid $463,647.
“Stansell Electric has performed well for the town in the past and is currently our signal maintenance contractor,” he added.
Explaining the need for the light, Schindler said, “The board has expressed the desire to install a traffic signal at the northern intersection of Concord Road and Loop Road. The Tennessee Department of Transportation’s Traffic Office completed a signal warrant analysis at this intersection in 2023 and determined the location meets warrants outlined in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
“The town previously contracted with Cannon & Cannon Inc. to design this project for $49,510,” he said. “When installed, the signal would provide westbound motorists on Loop Road with better opportunities to enter Concord Road, while also creating gaps in northbound traffic that would allow easier access for motorists on side roads — particularly those entering from Concord Hills subdivision — during peak hours.
“The signal will be connected to our recently completed Advanced Traffic Management System project and will be timed to coordinate with our existing signal infrastructure,” Schindler said. “The project completion date will be 360 days after notice to proceed due to the current nine-month lead time for mast arms and poles.”
In a similar action, the board unanimously approved a professional services agreement with Cannon & Cannon Inc. to design improvements at Campbell Station Road and Jamestowne Boulevard that will include a traffic signal.
Schindler said the improvements also will include curb ramps and crosswalks at the intersection.
“A traffic signal would provide eastbound motorists on Jamestowne Boulevard with better opportunities to enter Campbell Station Road while creating gaps in northbound traffic that would allow easier access at Eddie Courtney Lane and Sonja Drive,” he said. “The signal would be connected to our ATMS and will be timed to coordinate with our existing signal infrastructure.
“Cannon & Cannon anticipates submitting final construction plans to the town by Jan. 31, 2026,” Schindler added, noting the design cost is $50,735.
