RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with St. Francis Electric, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000, to provide traffic signal inductive loop repair and maintenance service, for the period June 1, 2016 through May 31 2019, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This cost is to be funded through Road Maintenance and Facilities Services maintenance budget. (50% Road & 50% General Fund)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

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 repair of these systems requires several specialized tasks including environmental concerns, traffic control and controller function. As bid on Bid sync # 1208-003, St. Francis Electric, Inc. was the lowest responsible responsive vendor. We are requesting this contract be approved for a period covering the next three years.
