References have been verified on the low bidder and staff recommends award of this contract for these traffic signal improvements to Select Electric, Incorporated. Construction is anticipated to begin within thirty (30) days and require approximately six (6) months to complete.
The California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) will
inspect and monitor the construction of traffic signals and
system interconnection at the Tamarack Avenue freeway ramps.
Prior to the start of construction, CALTRANS requires a non-
refundable payment of $11,000 for the cost of their inspection. Additionally, CALTRANS has issued to the City the required State right-of-way permit to allow the City's contractor on to the 1-5
bridge at Tamarack Avenue and the adjacent freeway ramps.
Page Two of Agenda Bill No. qqg6
The construction of the traffic signal systems includes additional work to remedy existing deficiencies, allow future expansion, or meet CALTRANS requirements. For example, a larger signal pole and longer mast arm will be erected across Arenal Road at El Camino Real to accommodate the future addition of a separate left turn phase. At the same location, an emergency vehicle detector will be mounted on a separate pole across the driveway of Fire Station No. 2. Handicap ramps will be constructed at all sidewalk corners that lack them.
The existing and new signals on Tamarack Avenue will be interconnected from Jefferson Street across 1-5 to Adams Street. This will allow traffic to move smoothly in the vicinity of the freeway and nearby shopping center.
