Recommendation:
By minute motion, authorize the purchase of traffic signal
equipment to upgrade 15 signalized intersections on Highway 111
and Highway 74.
Discussion:
The City is in the process of assuming jurisdiction over State Route (Highway)
111 and State Route (Highway) 74 and this is expected to be complete in July
2006. Once the relinquishment has been accomplished, the City will be
responsible for the maintenance and operation of these roadways. The
development and implementation of effective signal timing and coordination is
necessary to provide for the safe and orderly movement of traffic along these
corridors. The replacement of the existing controller equipment is necessary to
integrate the traffic signals into the City's central computer control system and
implement the effective signal timing plans.

Staff recommends the replacement of 15 traffic signal controller units on Highway
111 and Highway 74. Thirteen of the controller units will be installed directly into
the existing signal cabinets. The two remaining locations require complete
replacement of the controller unit and cabinet. The new controller units will be
preprogrammed prior to installation in the field.
Staff received a quote from Econolite Control Products, Inc. to manufacture, ship
and install the requested traffic signal controller equipment. Please note that
Econolite was previously approved by City Council on June 10, 2004 as the sole
source vendor of traffic signal controller equipment for the City of Palm Desert.
The quote received from Econolite totaled $96,303.20.
Funds are available for this in Account No. 110-4250-433-3325.
Therefore, staff recommends that City Council authorize the purchase of traffic
signal equipment for 15 intersections on Highway 111 and Highway 74 at a cost
of $96,303.20.
