AGENDA TITLE: Project Agreement for Traffic Control Device Inventory Grant
MEETING DATE: October 1, 1997
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution supporting the project
and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Project Agreement for
the State of California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Traffic Control Device
Inventory Grant.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Public Works Department has recently received approval from
OTS for funding to develop a Traffic Control Device Inventory
(TCDI), including a computerized record and mapping system. The
main goals of the program are to reduce fatal and injury collisions by
allowing the City to place increased emphasis on conformance and condition of existing traffic controls.
Signs, striping, and markings will be inventoried and current condition assessed. The traffic controls will
be mapped on aerial photograph images. The City's traffic work order form will be amended and a traffic
reference manual prepared.
The project was anticipated to begin in October 1997; however, the program has been delayed until a
new reauthorization bill is enacted. Our one-year program will probably begin in January 1998.
The City will receive OTS funds in the amount of $61,185 which includes approximately $1,200 for staff
time. To accomplish the project, staff plans on contracting services to a traffic engineering consultant
using the grant funds. Also included in the grant are funds for software and hardware.
FUNDING: OTS funds in the amount of $61,185.
