AB# 17,911 TITLE:
MTG. 12/07/04 MAINTENANCE & REPAIR NO. SIG04-19
AWARD OF AGREEMENT FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL CITY ATTY.
DEPT. PW-M&O I I CITY-
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends Council adopt Resolution No. , accepting the bid
proposal of Signal Maintenance Inc. and authorizing the execution of an agreement for
traffic signal maintenance and repair services with Republic Electric in accordance with the
unit prices as specified in Option B.
2004-385
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Currently, there are approximately 130 signalized intersections in the City of Carlsbad. For
over fifteen years, staff has determined that City-owned and managed signals are most
efficiently maintained by a private contractor under an annual agreement for traffic signal
maintenance and repair services. Council has approved several agreements during the
period for this work. The agreements provide for routine and preventative maintenance,
routine monitoring, around-the-clock emergency response, and repairs due to collision and
vandalism.
In accordance with Section 3.28.050 of the Municipal Code, Notice to Bidders was
published and Requests for Bid were sent to the two local contractors known to specialize in
this type of maintenance work. To ensure that the City receives the best value of services,
the bid request was separated into two options: Option “A,” which requires an initial
response time, under normal conditions, of one (I) hour and not to exceed two (2) hours.
This is the response time that is currently specified. And Option “B,” which requires an
enhanced initial response time, under normal conditions, of thirty (30) minutes, and not to
exceed one (1) hour during normal working hours and two (2) hours after normal working
hours.
Staff held a mandatory pre-bid meeting for this agreement on June 8, 2004. The two
aforementioned local contractors both attended and subsequently submitted bids that were
opened on June 29, 2004. The results of the submitted bids are as follows:
COMPANY
Signal Maintenance Inc, Anaheim
Southwest Signal Service, El Cajon $396,650.00
OPTION “By’
$284.453.10
$4291950.00
Both options of both bids were evaluated for Best Value based on cost, technical capability
of contractor’s staff, contractor’s ability to provide timely service, overall capability of
contractor, professionalism, and unspecified value-added offerings. Except for cost, the two
companies rated comparatively close on the other factors. As a result, the final evaluation-
determining factor was the bid amount and, therefore, regardless of which option is
selected, should be awarded to Signal Maintenance Inc. of Anaheim.
I
PAGE 2 OF AGENDA BILL NO. 17,911
Staff was notified on September 9, 2004 that Republic Electric, also of Anaheim, has
purchased Signal Maintenance Inc. Staff met with representatives from both Signal
Maintenance Inc. and Republic Electric on September 14, 2004 to discuss the resulting
effects of this merger. Staff is confident that this leadership transition will be relatively
seamless in the field and that any noticeable changes will be a benefit to the City.
Since the difference in bid cost for Option “B” as submitted by Signal Maintenance Inc. is
only $15,600 annually (5.5% of the total contract award) more than Option “A,” staff
determined that this cost variance is more than offset by the enhanced level of signal
maintenance services that are derived. Therefore, staff recommends award of Option “B” of
Agreement No. SIG04-19 for Traffic Signal Maintenance and Repair Services to Republic
Electric (formerly Signal Maintenance Inc.) of Anaheim, California in the amount of
$284,453. IO.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are available in the Traffic Signal Maintenance Operating Budget (Org Key
No. 0016370) to cover costs in the amount of $284,453.10 for award of this agreement as
recommended by staff. Since this is essentially a “Time and Materials” contract agreement,
all costs will be paid based on actual quantities at the rates specified in the contract.
Therefore, the actual total cost of the contract may vary depending upon actual conditions.
