Public Works Director City Engineer, Engineering Assistant/Traffic
SUBJECT:
Award of Contract for "Traffic Signal Upgrade: Foothill & Tossojara,
Foothill & California, Johnson & Bishop - City Plan Nos. M-18C and N-11C.
RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, award contract to Safety Electric Corp. of Fresno, California in
the amount of $132,369.00.
DISCUSSION:
Some of the City's traffic signal installations are operating with outdated
equipment and do not meet current design standards. Engineering is planning a
systematic upgrading of all outdated installations. The three intersections
included in this project were all installed in 1969 and spare parts for these
three controllers are no longer available. For this reason they were
prioritized in the CRP for controller replacement in advance of other
installations. As part of this project, new controllers are to be installed at
all locations to prevent an irrepairable controller failure. In addition,
these new controllers provide for greater versatility of operation.
At the same time the controllers are replaced, the signal lights will be
brought up to current standards and new detection will be added to allow for
better response to changing traffic patterns.
Bids were opened on February 23, 1989, the results of which are shown on the
attached Bid Summary Sheet. Safety Electric Corp. of Fresno, California was
the low bidder with a bid of $132,369.00. The Engineer's Estimate was
$126,000.00.
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT:
Base Bid: $132,369.00
Contingencies: 13,200.00
Total: $145,569_00
These projects are included in the 1987-89 Capital Improvement Program, Capital
Reinvestment, under Streets/Traffic Signal Improvements. The amount of
$124,000.00 was budgeted for these projects.
