TO:
WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM:
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION
SUBJECT:
AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL MODIFICATIONS AT
MCFADDEN/WILLIAMS AND AT MCFADDEN/RITCHEY (ClP NO. 4057)
SUMMARY
Bids for this project have been received and a construction contract is ready to be awarded. This
project provides for the modifications of traffic signals at McFadden Avenue/Williams Street and at
McFadden Avenue/Ritchey Street.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
Approve a supplemental appropriation in the amount of $45,000.00 for FY 2000/01 from the
unappropriated balance of the Capital Improvement Fund to the traffic signal modification
projects on McFadden Avenue at Williams and Ritchey (CIP No. 4057).
Award the construction contract for the modifications of traffic signals at McFadden/Williams
and at McFadden/Ritchey to Inspection Engineering Construction, the Iow bidder in the amount
of $239,280.27, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the contract documents on
behalf of the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City's Capital Improvement Program Budget for FY 2000/01 provides $233,843.00 for the
construction phase of this project. This includes $111,687.00 from Measure 'M' for this project and
those funds are capped. Since the Iow bid is higher than the budgeted amount, additional funds
are needed to finance this project. It is estimated that $45,000.00 in additional funds are needed
to fund the shortfall in the bid amount, as well as inspection costs, traffic signal and interconnect
activation costs, traffic signal set-up costs, cost to process an easement and construction
contingencies. There are sufficient unappropriated funds in the amount of $45.000.00 in the
Capital Improvement Fund to finance this project.
