Approval to Purchase Four Traffic Cabinets and Associated Equipment
Submitted by: Todd Hoppenstedt, Public Works
Department: Public Works  

Information
Subject
Approval to Purchase Four Traffic Cabinets and Associated Equipment.
Background
As part of the FY 2021 Capital Projects Fund budget, funding was included for the purchase of four traffic cabinets, each including a Cobalt Traffic Controller and 16 Channel MMU (Malfunction Management Units).  These Cabinets will be used to replace aging and obsolete equipment at the following intersections:
  • Maryland Way & Westpark Drive, 
  • Moores Lane & Westgate Circle,
  • Moores Lane & Carothers Parkway, and
  • Wilson Pike & Raintree Parkway.

The replacement traffic control cabinets were bid out in May, with bids opened on Friday, June 5th, 2020.  Only one bid was received, from Southern Lighting & Traffic Systems of Cumming, Georgia in the amount of $59,590.

Staff recommends City Commission approval to move forward with the purchase of these four traffic control cabinets at the cost of $59,590.  Based on previous purchases of similar items, staff believes the quoted price is fair and reasonable.

Please direct questions to the Public Works Director.

Fiscal Impact
Amount : $59,590.00
Source of Funds: Capital Improvements
Account Number: 311-43100-1007
Fiscal Impact:
The one bid received is approximately $5,600 over the budgeted amount.  However, staff still recommends moving forward with these necessary scheduled replacements as it is unlikely to see our costs come down by waiting or by rebidding this equipment.
