SUBJECT:
Award of Contract for Overhead Street Name Signs
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a one (1) year agreement with Safeway Sign Company in a not-to-exceed contract amount of $56,537, for the purchase of overhead street name signs.
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Traffic Program is responsible for maintaining twenty-eight (28) traffic signals throughout the City including the overhead street name signs. These overhead street name signs are affixed to the mast arm of the traffic signal and deteriorate over time from being exposed to the outdoor elements. This includes faded signs, which reduces the reflectivity for motorists to see at night and hardware issues from the signs swinging in the wind. Public Works has inspected the overhead street name signs and recommends the overhead signs be replaced in order meet the guidelines of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
In order to procure the overhead street name signs and hardware, the City prepared a formal bid that was released on June 22, 2023 and closed on July 6, 2023. The City received the following bids:
Safeway Sign Company
SC Signs & Supplies
Zumar Industries
Maneri Sign Company
$56,536.43
$58,605.23
$86,846.10
$93,156.90
Upon review of the submitted bids, Safeway Sign Company was deemed the lowest responsible/responsive bidder to provide the overhead street name signs and hardware.
