RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with St Francis Electric, LLC, subject to approval by the County Administrator and approval as to form by County Counsel, in an amount not to exceed $500,000 to provide airport electrical and traffic signal inductive loop maintenance service, for the period June 1, 2019 through May 31, 2022, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This cost is to be funded through Facilities Services maintenance budget. (100% General Fund)

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Facilities maintains hundreds of traffic intersections owned by both the County and several contract cities. Each of these intersections is equipped with inductive magnetic loops installed under the pavement. These loops provide information to the signal controller, alerting it when the magnetic field of a vehicle is detected above it. Replacement and maintenance of these systems requires several specialized tasks including environmental concerns, traffic control and controller function. Facilities also maintain airport electrical systems such as runway lights and signs. Bidsync # 1809-301 solicited several electrical contractors interested in performing sublet work for Facilities Services. Government Code Section 25358 authorizes the County to contract for maintenance and upkeep of County facilities. St Francis Electrical, LLC was selected for airport electrical system and traffic signal inductive loop maintenance.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, inductive loop maintenance will be discontinued.
