AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Managerto Execute Purchase Orderwith
Econolite Group, Inc., of San Leandro, for Three Traffic Signal Controllers/Cabinets
($37,122)
MEETING DATE: June 20,2012
PREPARED BY: PublicWorks Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing City Managerto execute purchase
order with Econolite Group, Inc., of San Leandro, for three traffic
signal control lerskabinets, in the amount of $37,122.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the August 18, 2010 meeting, City Council approved Econolite as
the standard traffic signal controller/cabinet supplier/manufacturer.
Over the past several years, PublicWorks has been regularly replacing control lerskabinetsthat have
exceeded their useful life of 25 years. Replacement is the preferred action because controller technology
has significantly improved and parts are increasingly unavailable to perform repairs. Asa result, we keep
replacement controllers/cabinet in inventory in case of controller failure or damage. Recently,the
controller/cabinet at the intersection of Ham Lane and Turner Road was replaced, thereby exhausting our
inventory. Staff recommends the purchase of three control lerskabi nets to have in inventory in case of
controller/cabinet failure or damage.
FISCAL IMPACT: Quick change out of failed or damaged controllers/cabinets reducesthe
City's liability.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Measure K Maintenance (325051)
