CONTRACT AGREEMENT FOR CITYWIDE TRAFFIC SIGNAL MAINTENANCE
SERVICES
SUMMARY
Execution of the subject Traffic Signal Maintenance contract will continue the City's existing traffic
signal maintenance services with the current provider, Computer Service Company.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council direct the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the contract
documents on behalf of the City with Computer Service Company for traffic signal maintenance
services for a four-year period, renewable annually, subject to .approval by the City Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds to maintain the City's traffic signal system are currently budgeted in the City's 2000-01 Fiscal
Year Public Works Department/Engineering Division operating account. The costs for these services
in any fiscal year are approximately $170,000.00 for the City's ninety-seven traffic signals, which
includes routine as well as extraordinary maintenance.
BACKGROUND
The current City contract for traffic signal maintenance services is a four-year contract, renewable
each year, with Computer Service Company of Corona, California. The current contract will expire
on November 30, 2000.
Computer Service Company has been providing traffic signal maintenance services to the City of
Tustin continuously since 1992. Prior to 1992, the City had utilized traffic signal maintenance
services from other providers including: Signal Maintenance Incorporated, Superior Signal Service,
and Pacific Traffic Systems. However, these companies were unable to provide a satisfactory level
of service for the City. In 1992, the City contracted the services of Computer Service Company, and
to date has been very satisfied with their services.
DISCUSSION
Traffic signal maintenance is a highly specialized, technical field. As such, there are very few
companies providing these services. Since there can be substantial liability incurred by the City as a
result of these maintenance services, the City practices extreme caution in selecting a firm to provide
these services.

Page 2
During the past eight-years that Computer Service Company has been maintaining the City's traffic
signal system, the City has not been the subject of any lawsuits resulting from traffic signal
maintenance activities, and there have been very few claims against the City related to traffic signal
maintenance. When the City receives public complaints regarding traffic signal maintenance
concerns Computer Service Company has been very prompt to address and correct the problems.
Four Orange County cities and the County of Orange have been contacted for a comparison of rates
for monthly routine traffic signal maintenance service. The results are shown in attached Table 1 that
indicates that Computer Service Company is very competitive in the current market for these
services.
The 'City's Engineering Division staff has been pleased with the performance of Computer Service
Company during the term of the current contract. They have been very responsive and pro-active in
traffic signal maintenance activities, and the quality of their work has been acceptable. Therefore,
the Engineering Division is recommending the City Council extend the contract for traffic signal
maintenance services with Computer Service Company for an additional four-year period
commencing December 1,2000.
