AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Standardization of Traffic Signal Controllers/Cabinets
and Awarding Purchase of Controllers/Cabinets to Econolite Control Products, Inc.,
of Anaheim ($31,000)
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2010
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDEDACTION: Adopt resolution approving the standardization of traffic signal
controllerskabinets and awarding purchase of controllers/cabinets
to Econolite Control Products, Inc., of Anaheim, in the amount of
$31,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the April 15, 1998 meeting, the City Council took action approving
Econolite Control Products as the standard traffic signal
controller/cabinet supplier and waiving the formal bid process per
Lodi Municipal Code, Section 3.20.070, Bidding. At the time, a
resolution was not required. The City of Lodi Public Works Department has been using the Econolite
controller/cabinet as the standardized unit since that meeting. Because this was done without a
resolution and in light of recent changes to the purchasing policy, staff is requesting City Council to once
again standardize the controller/cabinet supplier/manufacturer as Econolite Control Products, of
Anaheim, and authorizethe purchase.
Over the past two fiscal years (2009/10 and 2010/11), Public Works has been attempting to upgrade two
controllerskabinets per year. This upgrade is needed due to improvements in technology that reduces
liability, and improves dependability. The new controllers and related peripherals require larger cabinets
that are proprietaryto the controllers. The most recent upgrade took place at Cherokee Lane and Victor
Road in 2009; the next will be Turner Road/Ham Lane. Once this purchase is approved, the
controllerskabinets at Hutchins Street/Tokay Avenue and Ham Lane/Tokay Avenue will be changed.
FISCAL IMPACT: Changing to more modern technology reduces liability due to the improved
function of the controller and compatible equipment.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: In the approved 2010/11 Budget, Measure K Maintenance (325051),
$40,000 was budgeted for traffic signal controller purchases and upgrade,
$30,088.95 for the signal controllerskabinets and $9,911 for incidental
iterrls suc s concrete and wire.
