AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR FIAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS,
lgBT-lggl
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt
specifications and authorize advertisement for bids.
BACKGROUND:
a resolution approving
Signal maintenance is now provided by a firm under annual extensions to a
five year contract entered into in 1980. We believe that it is now time to go
through another round of · competitive bidding. The proposed contract
specifications provide for a four year contract period beginning May 1, 1987.
To reduce uncertainties about' future costs due to inflation and resulting
contingenci.es added to contract bids, we have included an annual adjustment clause
based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. This approach was also used in the
existing contract.
The current City budget for signal maintenance is about $92,000 annually not
including electricity. There are 52 signalized intersections in the City and two
more under construction.
Liability insurance provisions included in the specifications require $2,000,000
single limit coverage which is the same as for our construction contracts.
