CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN The installation of Battery Backup Systems at traffic signals contributes to the fulfillment of the City's Strategic Plan Goal B: Public Safety and Protection of Assets. Specifically, the project implements or fosters the implementation of strategy #3(b) which, among other items, is to ensure continuous maintenance and improvement of traffic control and transportation facilities. DISCUSSION The installation of Battery Backup Systems (BBS's) at traffic signals is desired in order to maintain safe, normal vehicular operations when planned or unplanned electrical interruptions occur. Although BBS's are currently being installed at all new traffic signals, there is a need to install them Battery Backup Installations and Traffic Signal Controller Upgrades — Phase 2 October 15, 2013 Page 2 at older traffic signals through a retrofit process. Within the current City's Capital Improvement Program CIP 40079 provides four phases of BBS installations spread over four (4) successive fiscal years, thereby ensuring that all city- maintained traffic signals ultimately have operational battery backup systems. Phase 2 of CIP 40079 consisted of thirteen (13) traffic signals along Newport Avenue from Old Irvine Boulevard to Valencia Avenue, excluding Newport Avenue at Irvine Boulevard which has a BBS installed under Phase 1. The project also included installation of three (3) new BBS's on Edinger Avenue and one new BBS on Seventeenth Street. All signals on these three arterial highways now have operational BBS's. CIP 40080 consists of three phases of upgrades or replacements for existing traffic signal controller equipment spread over three (3) fiscal years. Phase 2 of CIP 40080 consisted of the replacement or upgrades of controllers at fifteen (15) intersections along Red Hill Avenue, Newport Avenue, Bryan Avenue, Walnut Avenue and Edinger Avenue. Work on Phase 2 of CIP's 40079 and 40080 was performed simultaneously by one contractor due to the similar nature of the work and the efficiency of utilizing the same contractor. Construction of these projects is deemed complete to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and is now ready for City Council acceptance. Stack, P.E. 'ublic Works /City Engineer Attachment(s): 1.
