Recommendation:
By Minute Motion, authorize the purchase of traffic signal controller
equipment from Econolite Control Products, Inc.
Funds are available in General Fund Account No. 110-4250-433-3325, Traffic
Signal Maintenance.
Discussion:
The inventory of spare traffic signal controller equipment has become depleted.
In the past year, two traffic signal controller cabinet assemblies have been
replaced due to damage caused by traffic collisions. Additionally, several older
traffic signal controller units have malfunctioned, and repair of these units are no
longer supported by the equipment manufacturer. The Public Works Department
needs to purchase new traffic signal controller cabinet assemblies and controller
equipment in order to replenish the spare equipment inventory.
Staff requested and received a quote from Econolite Control Products, Inc., for
purchase of the traffic signal controller equipment. Econolite was approved as a
sole source vendor by the City Council on June 10, 2004. Econolite remains the
only manufacturer of the traffic signal controller equipment used throughout the
City. The quote received from Econolite totals $46,310.00, which includes
shipping costs but excludes sales tax. The total cost of the traffic signal
equipment purchase including 8.75% sales tax is $50,362.13.
