PRIORITY POLICY STATEMENT
This item matches the following Priority Policy Statement:
Infrastructure and City Assets.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City has funding for these services within the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Traffic Signals program budget within the Measure M2 Fund (Fund 25). Staff does not request additional funding.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City has a two-fold Agreement with Yunex LLC to maintain the City traffic signal system. The first part of this agreement provides regular, routine maintenance on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annually and annual basis to inspect and clean traffic signal components and confirm system functionality, including camera and detection operations, crosswalk buttons and signal timing. The City budgets for these routine maintenance services each fiscal year.
The second part of the Agreement covers non-routine maintenance including emergency response, extraordinary services and additional services not considered routine maintenance. Staff cannot accurately estimate costs for these unknown emergency needs such as traffic signal pole knockdowns and replacements including foundation work, traffic signal cabinet replacements and foundation work, traffic signal conduit damage, traffic signal wiring degradation and corrosion and other traffic signal equipment failures due to traffic collisions, equipment age and natural disasters.
Yunex LLC recently performed extraordinary services work under staff direction which included traffic signal pole foundations, traffic signal pole standards, traffic signal conduit, traffic signal pull box and traffic signal wiring. The costs for the unique nature of the work and unforeseen site conditions exceed staff authorization limits. Staff requests City Council approve and ratify a $243,440.66 payment for traffic signal maintenance extraordinary services. cc: Interim City Manager Eddie Manfro
