Recommendation
By Minute Motion, authorize the purchase of four complete traffic signal
controller cabinet assemblies in the amount of $98,602.88.
Funding is available for this purchase in Account No. 2134294-4400100.
Background
Currently on Highway 111 and Highway 74, there are 11 signalized intersections being
controlled using Type 332 cabinet assemblies with specialized signal controller units.
The signal controller units are no longer being produced, and repair support for the units
is no longer provided by the equipment manufacturer. Replacement units are not
readily available in the event of controller failure. Also, the controller cabinet
assemblies will not be compatible with the citywide ATMS Ethernet communication
network that is to be implemented in the next few years.
This is the first of the three year annual Controller Cabinet Assembly Upgrade Program
to replace the 332 cabinet assemblies with the city's standard NEMA TS2 controller
assemblies. The four new controller cabinet assemblies will replace existing
assemblies at the following locations:
• Highway 111 at Park View Drive/Painters Path
• Highway 111 at Desert Crossings Drive
• Highway 111 at El Paseo/Town Center Way
• Highway 111 at San Luis Rey Avenue
These locations are shown on the attached vicinity map.

September 24, 2015
Minor controller cabinet foundation modifications are needed to accommodate the new
assemblies. Foundation modifications and installation of the new controller assemblies
will be performed by city crews.
Econolite Group, Inc., is the sole source provider of traffic signal controller equipment
that is compatible with the city's central signal control system. Staff requested and
received a quote from Econolite Group, Inc., in the amount of $98,602.88 for the
purchase and delivery of four complete traffic signal controller cabinet assemblies. A
copy of their quote is attached for reference.
Fiscal Analysis
There is no fiscal impact beyond the purchase price for the controller cabinet assembly.
Man-hours for city crews to install the cabinet and minor material costs to modify the
controller cabinet foundations are estimated at $1,000.00 per location for a total of
$4,000.00 for all the four locations.
