Recommendation:
By Minute Motion, authorize the purchase of traffic signal
equipment for the Fred Waring Widening from Deep Canyon Road
to Washington Street Project (Project No. 653-01), from McCain
Traffic Supply, of Vista, California, in the amount of $24,788.00,
plus shipping and sales tax.
Discussion:
On January 9, 2003, City Council approved a Reimbursement Agreement
between Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG), the City of
Indian Wells, and the City of Palm Desert for the design engineering services for
the widening of Fred Waring Drive to six lanes from Phyllis Jackson to
Washington Street. As a portion of this project, the area between Deep Canyon
Road and Phyllis Jackson was identified for widening.
We have now progressed sufficiently with the design phase of this project to
purchase the traffic signal items. Purchase of these long lead items now will
assist in the timely completion of this project. This will also reduce the overall
cost of the project by eliminating the mark-up of contractor -supplied parts.
