Public Works Memorandum <br /> NO. 2012-01 <br /> DATE: December 19, 2011 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor McElroy and City Council Members <br /> FROM: Ryan P. McCrady, City Manager <br /> Richard G. Marley, P.E., Public Works Director <br /> SUBJECT: Expenditure of Funds to Brown Traffic Products for Replacement of <br /> Damaged Traffic Controller Signal Cabinet <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: <br /> It is recommended by staff that the City Council approve the attached resolution approving <br /> an expenditure of$7,895 with Brown Traffic Products, Inc. for the purchase of a traffic <br /> signal controller cabinet. The cabinet will replace the stock cabinet that was used to replace <br /> a cabinet destroyed in a traffic accident at the intersection of Decatur Street &Main Street. <br /> PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: <br /> No prior Council action has been taken on the purchase of this traffic controller. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> On Monday, November 7, 2011, City staff became aware of a traffic accident which <br /> destroyed the traffic controller cabinet at Decatur Street &Main Street. The damaged unit <br /> was removed and replaced with a stock traffic control cabinet. <br /> This stock cabinet that was used to replace the damaged cabinet was purchased in March, <br /> 2011. The cost for the cabinet alone without the traffic controller, conflict monitor, loop <br /> detectors and load switches was $3,810. Purchasing these essential components individually <br /> would increase the cost to approximately$8,340. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objections to this request. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Brown Traffic Products, Inc. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Richard Marley, Public Works Director, Matt Newell, City <br /> Engineer and Jerry Nihiser, Traffic and Parking Supervisor. Richard Marley will be in <br /> attendance at the City Council meeting to answer any questions of the Council on this item. <br /> Page I 1 <br />
