RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE DIRECT PURCHASE OF SPEED CUSHIONS FROM TRAFFIC LOGIX FOR TRAFFIC CALMING PROJECTS FOR A NOT TO EXCEED TOTAL OF $1,000,000 FOR THE TRAFFIC CALMING PROGRAM CIP 9163.
WHEREAS, City Council adopted the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program and established the City’s Traffic Calming Policy at its October 6, 2009, meeting (Resolution No. 19764) which outlined a process for consideration of traffic calming requests from the community; and WHEREAS, City Council through Resolution No. 19764 delegated authority to the City Engineer to make revisions to the program to ensure its effectiveness; and WHEREAS, the City Council approved a prioritization strategy for Traffic Calming requests on its November 7, 2017, meeting (Resolution No. 21291); and WHEREAS, in 2025, staff hosted two study sessions with the Traffic and Transportation Commission and two community meetings to gather feedback on proposed policy updates. The primary concern raised by residents was the excessive length of time required to implement traffic calming measures; and WHEREAS, the Salinas Municipal Code Sections 12-03.05 requires competitive bidding for purchases in excess of $250,000, limiting direct purchasing, unless it yields the best value for the City; and WHEREAS, for the past ten years, Traffic Logix has provided speed cushions for nearly all of the City’s traffic calming installations; and WHEREAS, continuing to purchase from Traffic Logix serves the City’s best interest and offers the highest value, as staff has secured lower pricing. Furthermore, standardizing equipment across the City reduces maintenance costs and streamlines ordering of parts, thereby also reducing labor costs.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that pursuant to Salinas Municipal Code Section 12-03.11 the Salinas City Council approves a Resolution authorizing the Purchasing Agent to complete the direct purchase of speed cushions from Traffic Logix for traffic calming projects for a not to exceed total of $1,000,000 for the Traffic Calming Program CIP 9163.
