TRAFFIC SIGNAL DISPLAYS AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN THE SANTA CLARITA VALLEY DEPARTMENT. Transportation & Engineering Services RECOMMENDED ACTION City Council award the contract to Metro Parking & Traffic Systems for construction services on the installation of Light Emitting Diode (L.E.D.) traffic signal displays in the amount of $134,193.93; approve a 20 percent contingency expenditure in the amount of $26,838.79; and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney approval. BACKGROUND Southern California Edison has a rebate program that provides incentives to install energy- efficient traffic signals. These energy-efficient traffic signals utilize the L.E.D. technology. Changing to L.E.D. technology significantly reduces the risk of losing power to signals during future rolling "brownouts," as signals utilizing L.E.D. technology require less than one-tenth of the power required to power existing signals (135 watts versus 10 'watts). Additionally, these new signal lights have a projected life span of five years. In comparison, the existing signal lights' average life span currently ranges between one to one and one-half years. On November 28, 2000, City Council approved the Plans and Specifications and authorized the advertising for bids for the installation of energy-efficient traffic signal displays. The project was advertised locally, as well as in adjacent counties, on December 24, 28, and 31, 2000, and January 6, 2001. Four bids were received and opened on January 11, 2001. Metro Parking and Traffic Systems, Incorporated is the lowest responsive bidder and is recommended for this project.
