Subject: Approve the Sim i Valley Traffic Signal Conditions Assessment Report, establish a new Capital Improvement Project for traffic signal upgrades , approve a Supplemental Budget Request, and amend contracts with Econolite Staff Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the City of Simi Valley Traffic Signal Conditions Assessment report (Attachments A and B);
2. Establish a new Capital Improvement Project (CIP) to complete the Phase 0 (Attachment C) recommendations of the Traffic Signal Conditions Assessment report;
3. Approve a Supplemental Budget Request in the amount of $ 250,000 from the General Fund and authorize an interfund transfer to the new CIP project;
4. Amend the contract with Econolite Control Products, Inc. (Attachment D) to extend the contract for one year, until October 6, 2027 , and increase the not-to-exceed budget by $175,000 for a total contract not to exceed amount of $375,000;
5. Amend the contract with Econolite Services, Inc. (Attachment E) to increase the not-to-exceed amount by $75,000, for a total contract not -to-exceed amount of $1,200,000.
Background
The City owns and maintains 121 traffic signal s. In response to the City’s traffic signal infrastructure increasingly malfunctioning or operating in "flashing red" conditions , staff retained Kimely-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Consultant) to conduct a traffic signal conditions assessment to review, inspect, and create a list of prioritized repairs and/or upgrades to improve traffic signal operations. Recommendations were categorized by Phase, and upon City Council approval, a project will be established to accomplish the goals of Phase 0 to modernize equipment by replaci ng old traffic signal controllers. The City would purchase the equipment directly, and the controller s would then be programmed and installed by our current signal maintenance contractor.
Agenda Item No.

Discussion
Th
e City’s traffic signal infrastructure has been increasingly malfunctioning or operating in "flashing red" conditions. While most flashing red operations last for only a few hours or less, others have remained in that condition for up to several weeks. The construction of traffic signals in the City has occurred over many decades. While each traffic signal was designed for the state of the practice at the time of construction, equipment age can lead to failures, which then defaults to flashing red operati on. Additionally, older equipment has become less resistant to fluctuations in electrical service and is prone to failure due to planned or unplanned outages, or P ublic Safety Power Shutoffs, as frequently occurs with Southern California Edison.
T
he City’s Consultant conducted an assessment of existing traffic signal equipment and prepared a cost estimate to repair and/or modernize that equipment. The following infrastructure was subject to assessment by the Consultant:
• T
raffic signal cabinets and equipment
• Traffic signal controllers
• Traffic signal poles and associated equipment
• In-ground utility boxes and underground equipment, including conduits and wiring • Video and loop detection equipment
• Emergency vehicle recognition and preemption equipment • Battery Backup Systems (BBS)
• Pedestrian and Equestrian Push Buttons
• Interconnection Systems
• Railroad equipment
F
ollowing the inspections, the Consultant prepared a comprehensive list of improvements and upgrades based on Phases. Phase 0 would be accomplished near -term, Phase 1 would be short to mid -term projects, and Phase 2 would be long- term or identified as more complex projects. If approved, this project would complete the Phase 0 improvements, which consist of replacing the City’s oldest and unrepairable (if they were to fail) traffic signal controllers. Should a traffic signal controller fail and no spare equipment is available, the traffic signal may operate in flashing red conditions for extended periods of time. While replacing the traffic signal controllers significantly improves reliability and repairability, it does not mean the traffic signal may not malfunction in the future. Phases 1 and 2 would replace wiring and other equipment that are the source of other malfunctions that cause abnormal operations.
D
evelopment of a separate capital project to complete Phases 1 and 2 is ongoing. Phases 1 and 2 are estimated to cost approximately $14,109,000 including contingencies for construction and engineering. It is anticipated that the project would be a multi-year effort over ten years to reduce the number of facilities simultaneously under construction and the impact on the general fund.
C
urrently, City Staff relies upon citizen reports when traffic signals are in red flash or malfunction. Existing traffic signal controllers are not network-ready, and do not interface 2 with centralized traffic signal management software. The equipment improvements recommended in this report will prepare the traffic signals to be network -ready. Upon implementation of a networked system, staff at City Hall will be notified of malfunctions as they arise, which will decrease delays in repairs and inconvenience to the community.
T
he intersections planned for Phase 0 improvements are listed in Attachment C. The list is modified as compared to the traffic signal conditions assessment: The traffic signal controllers along Madera Road at Country Club Drive West, Irvine Road/Shaver Court, Bonita Drive, and Strathearn Place would be upgraded as part of a comprehensive project. Madera Road is a coordinated facility that, under most conditions, provides a green signal as vehicles travel north and south along the corridor . This requires specialized equipment and communications between traffic signals, which would be replaced as part of this separate project . The controller at the intersection of First Street and Royal Avenue has been upgraded as part of the HSIP Cycle 11 Project.
T
o accomplish the Phase 0 improvements, s taff proposes to use existing contracts with both Econolite Control Products, Inc. (ECPI) for controller purchases and Econolite Services, Inc (ESI) for controller installation services. The City exclusively uses Econolite equipment to standardize maintenance, repairs, and communications with traffic signal equipment. In addition, purchas ing equipment directly from ECPI saves the City thousands of dollars in equipment markups . It is necessary to amend the contract wi th ECPI for both time and budgetary reasons to accomplish Phase 0.
C
onsistent with Simi Valley Municipal Code § 2-9.201(e), staff recommends dispensing with additional competitive bidding requirements for these purchases and services because the commodity and maintenance services can only be provided in a manner compatible with the City’s existing Econolite -based traffic signal system, and standardization of City equipment will result in cost savings to the City through reduced equipment mark-ups and streamlined maintenance and operations.
Sta
ff also desire s to amend the existing traffic signal maintenance contract with ESI.
Installation of new traffic signal controllers requires “reprogramming” the information in each controller to ensure compatibility with the existing traffic signal cabinet equipment.
ESI will perform the reprogramming in their facility and install the new traffic signal controller in the cabinet at each location. Existing equipment will be removed and recycled. Staff anticipates the work can be accomplished within three to four months.
Fin
ancial Impact
$25
0,000 for Phase 0 ($175,000 for equipment and $75,000 for installation). A Supplemental Budget Request in the amount of $250,000 from the General Fund is being requested as part of the City Council’s action.
3 City Council Priority
This item supports the Reliable Infrastructure Pillar of Excellence to maintain and upgrade roads, facilities, and technology systems to ensure safe, efficient, and resilient public services.
Suggested Motion
I move that the City Council:
1. Approve the City of Simi Valley Traffic Signal Conditions Assessment report;
2. Establish a new Capital Improvement Project to complete the Phase 0 recommendations of the Traffic Signal Conditions Assessment report;
3. Approve a Supplemental Budget Request in the amount of $250,000 from the General Fund and authorize an interfund transfer to the new CIP project;
4. Amend the contract with Econolite Control Products, Inc. to extend the contract for one year, until October 6, 2027, and increase the not -to-exceed budget by $175,000 for a total contract not to exceed amount of $375,000;
5. Amend the contract with Econolite Services, Inc. to increase the not -to-exceed amount by $75,000, for a total contract not-to-exceed amount of $1,200,000.
Summary
In response to the City’s traffic signal infrastructure increasingly malfunctioning or operating in "flashing red" conditions , the City retained a Consultant to conduct a traffic signal conditions assessment to review, inspect, and create a list of prioritized repairs or upgrades to improve traffic signal operations. Recommendations were categorized by Phase, and upon approval by the City Council a project will be established to accomplish the goals of Phase 0 to modernize equipment by replacing old t raffic signal controllers.
The City would purchase the equipment directly , and the City’s current signal maintenance contractor would then be program and install the equipment. It is recommended that the City Council a pprove the City of Simi Valley Traffic Signal Conditions Assessment report; establish a new capital improvement project to complete the Phase 0 recommendations of the Traffic Signal Conditions Assessment report; approve a supplemental budget request in the amount of $250,000 from the General Fund; amend the Contract with Econolite Control Products, Inc. to extend the contract and increase the not to exceed budget by $175,000 for a total contrac t not to exceed amount of $375,000; and amend the contract with Econolite Services, Inc. to increase the not to exceed amount by $75,000, for a total contract not to exceed amount of $1,200,000.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CITY OF SIMI VALLEY TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT The City of Simi Valley, located in Ventura County, California, with a population of approximately 126,000 residents, owns and operates a total of 121 traffic signals. In Spring 2025, Kimley-Horn performed a comprehensive field inventory and condition assessment of these traffic signals to support the City in maintaining a reliable and efficient traffic signal system. This assessment evaluated the existing infrastructure and identified necessary upgrades to enhance traffic safety, signal performance, and the effective utilization of City resources.
Existing Conditions
The assessment involved detailed documentation for each intersection's equipment and hardware.
Key data collected included:
· Cabinet type, location, and key type
· Traffic signal controller type and condition
· Presence of emergency vehicle and railroad preemption systems · Interconnect and communication infrastructure
· Detection equipment including video and loop detectors Photographs and documentation of each cabinet’s interior were taken for detailed review.
Additionally, the physical infrastructure, including signal heads, pedestrian pushbuttons, and detection equipment, was reviewed and documented.
The evaluations focused on the following components:
· Signal controllers: Assessed for type and state of operation for potential replacement needs. · Battery backup systems (BBS): Identified intersections without these critical systems to prioritize installation.
· Signal heads/poles: Inspected for damage or inefficiency, with recommendations for replacements.
· Pull boxes and wiring: Examined for integrity and operational reliability, recommending replacements where necessary.
· Pedestrian push buttons: Checked for presence and functionality, with specific replacements or additions noted.
· Countdown pedestrian signal heads: Recommended for intersections to enhance safety for pedestrian crossing.

Recommendations
Recommendations were developed upon completion of detailed field review. The recommendations were classified into three phases based on immediacy and priority:
Phase 0 – Immediate Implementation
Controller Replacement:
· 25 intersections identified for immediate controller upgrades to Econolite Cobalt controllers due to screen/button issues and overall age.
Phase 1 – Short/Mid-Term Projects
These include a mix of controller replacements, battery backup system installations, signal head and pull box replacements, cable wiring installations, push button upgrades, and countdown pedestrian head installations.
· Controller upgrades at 41 moderate-priority and 19 low-priority intersections. · Installation of battery backup systems at 106 intersections lacking such systems for enhanced reliability during power outages.
· Replacement of traffic signal heads and pull boxes found with minor damages or cracks at 15 and 76 intersections, respectively.
· Cable wiring updates at 65 intersections to improve durability and simplify maintenance. · Push button replacement/modifications at three (3) locations. · Installation of countdown pedestrian heads at 41 intersections to enhance pedestrian safety.
Phase 2 – Long-Term Projects
These projects are suggested for long-term planning and depend on future funding availability. They focus on improvements that do not immediately impact operations but will benefit the infrastructure longevity, including:
· Video detection installations or replacements at 58 intersections, prioritizing those currently lacking such technology.
· Conduit replacements at 112 intersections showing wear and degradation. · Pole replacements at 10 intersections where significant physical damage was observed.
Cost Estimate and Intersection Overview
Table 1 outlines unit cost assumptions that were used for the planning level cost estimate for the recommended improvements (Phases 0-2). The source of these costs are based on available recent construction bid results of similar projects, to reflect current market pricing as of October 2025. 7 iii
Table 1: Planning Level Cost Estimate
Additionally, a qualitative overview was completed to understand the state of the overall traffic signal system. This was accomplished by identifying the types of critical improvements out of the recommended improvements and then categorizing each intersection based on the number of critical improvements needed.
The categories of recommended improvements, withcritical improvements highlighted in bold, are as follows:
o Controllers
o Battery Back-up Systems (BBS)
o Signal Heads
o Pull Boxes
o Wiring
o Push Buttons
o Countdown Pedestrian Head
o Video Detection
o Conduit
o Poles
Each intersection was then placed into one of the following groups based on the number of critical improvements needed:
o Require Immediate Attention
o Serviceable
o In Good Condition
Table 2 presents the qualitative overview.

Table 2: City Intersections Qualitative Overview
Intersection Condition # of Intersections
Require Immediate Attention
4+ Critical Categories 40 (33%)
Serviceable
2-3 Critical Categories 73 (60%)
In Good Condition
0-1 Critical Category 8 (7%)
As illustrated in Table 2, 33% require immediate attention, 60% are serviceable, and 7% of the City’s intersections are in good condition based on the current assessment.
Next Steps
This traffic signal inventory provides a comprehensive assessment and phased recommendations for the City’s traffic signal infrastructure, emphasizing immediate, short/mid-term, and long-term improvements. It is recommended that the City update this inventory periodically to incorporate progress and reassess priorities.

1. INTRODUCTION
The City of Simi Valley is located in Ventura County, California, and has a population of approximately 126,000 residents. The City operates and maintains 121 traffic signals, a map of which is included as Figure 1. In Spring 2025, Kimley-Horn staff conducted a comprehensive field inventory and evaluation of existing traffic signal equipment and conditions at all 121 City-operated intersections. The fieldwork forms the basis for extensive documentation of the City’s traffic signal infrastructure, allowing staff to evaluate the current equipment condition to support informed decision-making for future maintenance and upgrades. With field verification and infrastructure documentation, the project aims to assist the City in maintaining a reliable and efficient traffic signal system, ensuring traffic safety, optimizing signal performance, and maximizing the impact of city resources, future investment, and planning efforts.

3. RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the condition of existing intersection infrastructure, recommendations were categorized into three (3) phases:
An intersection-by-intersection breakdown of project prioritization is included in Appendix A.
3.1 Phase 0 – Immediate Implementation
Controller Replacement
Phase 0 projects are recommended for immediate implementation. City staff informed that there are 25 new Econolite Cobalt controllers available and requested to identify intersections for controller upgrades. Intersections with existing ASC/2-2100, ASC/2S-2100, or ASC-8000 controllers were deemed as high priority for replacement based on the age of the controller and associated wear and tear such as screen and button issues. Example location depicted in Figure 2 (right) at the intersection of Cochran/Liberty. Maintenance requests or changes to signal timing patterns at these intersections have been more difficult to implement as these controllers have a higher likelihood of experiencing issues. The controller upgrade at these 25 intersections is anticipated to immediately alleviate these issues. These intersection locations are included in Appendix A.
3.2 Phase 1 – Short/Mid-Term Projects
Phase 1 projects are recommended for short and mid-term implementation. Projects included as short and mid-term include controller replacement, battery back-up system installation, signal head replacement, pull boxes replacement, cable wiring installation, push button installation, and countdown pedestrian head installation as further described below. A list of specific intersections pertaining to each recommendation is included in Appendix A.
Controller Replacement
The replacement of older model controllers with Cobalt controllers in Phase 1 consists of 41 intersections with controllers deemed as moderate priority replacement and 19 intersections deemed as low priority replacement. Intersections identified as moderate priority replacement have older ASC/2S-2100 model controllers, although in better condition than the ASC/2S-2100 controllers identified for high priority replacement as part of Phase 0. Intersections identified as low priority replacement have ASC/3-2100 model controllers that are newer models, but less advanced than the Cobalt controllers. Figure 3 (right) illustrates an example of the Cobalt controller that all existing intersection controllers should be upgraded to.
Battery Backup System (BBS) Installation
A total of 106 intersections in the City lack battery backup systems (BBS) and are recommended for BBS installation as part of Phase 1 improvements. Installing battery backup systems at intersection cabinets enhances traffic signal reliability and safety. During power outages caused by severe weather, collisions, or infrastructure failures, these systems allow traffic signals to operate normally or in flashing operation for a few hours, reducing driver confusion and the risk of collisions. Battery backup systems allow traffic signals to maintain their programmed timing sequences uninterrupted, which is especially crucial at high-traffic intersections and near essential facilities like hospitals and schools. Figure 4 (right) depicts an example of a location with an existing BBS that all existing traffic signal cabinets should be upgraded to include.

City of Simi Valley Traffic Signal Conditions Assessment Signal Head Replacement
There are 15 intersections with one or more traffic signal heads recommended for replacement due to minor damage or cracks.
Figure 5 (right) illustrates an example location with an existing dented traffic signal head.
Pull Box Replacement
Pull box replacement is identified for 76 intersections where the pull boxes were observed to be damaged or cracked.
Such damage can allow dirt, dust, water, or objects to intrude into the conduit area, potentially impacting the wiring of traffic signal infrastructure and hindering intersection operations. Figure 5 (right) illustrates an example location with an existing cracked pull box.
Cable Wiring Installation
65 intersections were identified to be re-wired with cables to replace the individual signal wires. Figure 6 (right) depicts example condition of pull box with existing #14 AWG wires. Installing cables instead of individual wires in conduits enhances durability and reliability for traffic signals by providing superior protection against environmental factors. This reduces the risk of signal malfunctions and ensures consistent operation. Additionally, cables simplify maintenance and upgrades. Their bundled structure makes it easier for technicians to handle and replace sections, reducing service time, minimizing traffic disruptions, and lowering maintenance costs.
Push Button Installation
Three (3) locations were identified for replacement or modification of a pedestrian push button. The traffic signal at Long Canyon east of Wood Ranch is missing an equestrian push button on one of its poles, despite having an equestrian push button on its other pole (Figure 7); the intersection of Tierra Rejada and Village has a damaged pedestrian push button on pole 5; and the intersection of Tapo Canyon and Cochran had 2 push buttons on pole 6, one of which is not needed.
Countdown Pedestrian Signal Head Installation
41 intersections were identified for the replacement of one or more existing pedestrian signal heads with countdown signal heads. Example location reflected in Figure 8.
Countdown pedestrian signal heads offer the benefit of providing pedestrians with clear, numerical indicators of the remaining time to cross, enhancing safety by reducing uncertainty. This visual countdown helps prevent pedestrians from starting to cross when the time remaining is insufficient, thereby improving overall traffic flow and reducing the likelihood of collisions. While 25 intersections have only one pedestrian signal head warranting replacement, 16 intersections have up to 8 pedestrians signal heads recommended for replacement with countdown equipment. Cumulatively, 90 pedestrian signal heads across the city do not currently feature full countdown functionality and are recommended for replacement.

3.3 Phase 2 – Long-Term Projects
Long-term projects are suggested improvements that do not directly impact the operation of the intersection. While improvements would benefit the intersection’s infrastructure, for many of these projects, the city has yet to identify funding sources. As a result, these projects have unidentified future horizons and can be addressed when funding is available. Long-term recommended projects include video detection installation or replacement, conduit replacement, and pole replacement.
Video Detection Installation/Replacement
Video detection replacement or installation is identified for 58 intersections, including 27 deemed as moderate priority replacements and 31 deemed as high priority installations. High priority intersections do not currently have video detection equipment but would benefit from the reliability of this technology to ensure smooth intersection operations. Moderate priority intersections in this category already have video equipment, but this equipment could benefit from replacement to newer equipment (Figure 9).
Conduit/Pole Replacement
112 intersections are identified for conduit replacement, as conduit at the intersection is observed to be showing signs of wear and degradation. 10 intersections have been identified for pole replacement. Figure 10 (below) depicts an example location of a traffic signal pole dented with visible damage.
4. NEXT STEPS
This memorandum offers a comprehensive field inventory of the current traffic signal equipment conditions across Simi Valley and provides recommendations of traffic signal infrastructure improvements for immediate, short-term, mid-term, and long-term phases. It is recommended that this memorandum be periodically updated to incorporate progress made and to reassess goals and priorities in the coming years.
