..Explanation

The Transportation Division's mission includes the installation and maintenance of traffic control devices to promote pedestrian safety and expedite vehicular traffic flow. The Purchasing Office has solicited formal competitive bids for the purchase of traffic signals and is in the process of establishing universal term contracts (UTCs). This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of monies for traffic signals per the terms and conditions of these universal term contracts. The Transportation Division is utilizing technologically advanced, energy efficient light-emitting diode (LED) signals (versus incandescent signals) for new signal installations. A listing of the commodities, vendors, UTCs and dollar amounts is as follows: 8" and 12" LED 3-section signal heads, Path Master, Inc., $63,500.00; circular LED modules and green arrows, Dialight, Inc., $4,535.00, LED yellow arrows and single wire entrances, Traffic Control Products, Inc., $3,938.00; Total $71,973.00.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for these commodities exists in the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund, resurfacing project. This ordinance transfers monies from this project to the signal installation project.

Emergency action is requested to procure the needed signal commodities as soon as possible to meet signal installation schedules.
