COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBEAC r
FROM:
Wayne A. Peterson, Interim Public Works Director
Prepared by: John Rawles, Engineering Assistant /Traffic
SUBJECT:
Submittal of Plans and Specifications for Traffic Signal Upgrade:
Santa Rosa at Monterey, Santa Rosa at Palm, Santa Rosa at Mill, City
Plan No. T -14C."
OMMENDATION:
Approve plans and specifications, authorize staff to advertise for
bids, and authorize the CAO to award the contract if lowest
responsible bid is within the Engineer's Estimate.
DISCUSSION:
The City's traffic signal installations at the above - mentioned
intersections are operating with equipment which has outlived its
useful service life. This equipment is aged and presents a reliability
and maintenance liability to the City.
This proposed upgrade project represents the continuation of an on-
going traffic signal upgrade program which was initiated in 1989 to
systematically upgrade all of the existing outdated installations.
The three intersections included in this project were last upgraded in
1977; spare parts for these three controllers are no longer available.
For this reason they were prioritized in the CIP for controller
replacement in advance of other signal projects.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The need for signal upgrade and controller replacement coincides with
the Council- approved FETSIM Grant Project. The FETSIM Grant Project
has provided state funding for controller replacement at these three
intersections. For this reason the plans and specifications for the
signal upgrade project reflect changes which are required for the
FETSIM project, and the aggregate cost to the City will be lower than
that which was originally anticipated.
Council has asked that signal plans be prepared for these locations,
and Council has budgeted the money for the improvements.
