Title
Consideration and action on authorization to advertise and receive bids for The Traffic Signal Rehabilitation at the Intersection of Pasadena Blvd., and Center Street.
Body
Summary:
Staff is requesting authorization to advertise and receive bids to rehabilitate the traffic signals at the intersection of Center Street and Pasadena Blvd. The traffic signals at the intersection were installed back in the 90’s, and these older signals have exposed wiring, as opposed to the newer ones on East Blvd. that have the wiring protected inside the mast. The exposed wires, cables and hardware are showing wear and tear from years of being exposed to the elements.
The rehabilitation involve replacement of wires, cables, signal heads, video detection equipment, hardware, etc. Rehabilitating the intersection is necessary to prolong the life of the signals at this intersection. A full replacement of the traffic signals at the intersection could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Funds of $72,000 have been budgeted in the Capital Improvement account 090-405-49040.
Recommended action
Staff recommend Council authorize advertising this project.
