AGENDA TITLE: Accept Improvements Under Contract for Traffic Signal Modification Project at
Church Street and Lockeford Street and at Elm Street and Ham Lane
MEETING DATE: August 4, 2010
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDEDACTION: Accept the improvements under the contract for the Traffic Signal
Modification Project at Church Street and Lockeford Street and at
Elm Street and Ham Lane.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The contract for this project was executed with Tim Paxin's Pacific
Excavation, Inc., of Elk Grove, on September 17, 2008, in the amount
of $102,056.
This project included the installation of larger cabinet foundations and replacing the existing signal
cabinet, controller, and auxiliary equipment at Church Street and Lockeford Street and at Elm Street and
Ham Lane. In addition, the project included the installation of a video vehicle and pedestrian detection
system at Church Street and Lockeford Street. As part of this project, the City also purchased
standardized signal controller/cabinet systems in accordancewith City Council's April 15, 1998 approval.
At both intersections, the majority of the auxiliary equipmentwas obsolete and could no longer be
serviced or repaired. This project is part of a City-wide program to replace obsolete traffic signal
equipment and improve operations while reducing maintenance costs.
The final contract price was unchanged from the original contract price of $102,056.
Following acceptance by the City Council, as required by law, the City Engineerwill file a Notice of
Completion with the County Recorder's office. The notice serves to notify vendors and subcontractors
that the project is complete and begins their 30 -day period to file a stop notice requiring the City to
withhold payments from the prime contractor in the event of a payment dispute.
FISCAL IMPACT: This project provides cost savings by reducing the variety of obsolete
equipment, maintenance and electrical costs.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Transportation DevelopmentAct (TDA)funds were used to cover the costs
for this project.
