PW/GS RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2006-094 adopting plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for the purchase and installation of 15 traffic signal battery backup systems. ITEM EXPLANATION: During the energy crisis, staff identified the need to provide back up power for traffic signal systems. With uninterrupted back up power, a traffic signal can maintain safe signal operation in red flash or normal cycle operation (green/amber/red) during power outages. Staff researched various options and determined that the most appropriate backup systems will require the signal to operate in a fully functional condition, will provide power conditioning to the entire traffic signal system and will provide uninterrupted signal activation. Only systems that meet these desired conditions will be approved for installation. In an effort to retrofit existing signals with battery backup systems, staff has prioritized various signalized intersections within the City based on critical need resulting from high traffic volume and/or heavy pedestrian traffic. The intersections located within the Palomar Airport Road, El Camino Real, Carlsbad Boulevard, and Rancho Santa Fe transportation corridors have been completed. Staff is now ready to continue this program. Contract documents and plans are on file in the Public Works/General Services office. This project will address the Council Goal as described below. "Ensure the effective and efficient delivery of top-quality services to our community." ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This project has been determined to be exempt from environmental review per CEQA, Section 15301 - Class 1c, minor alteration of an existing facility. FISCAL IMPACT: The cost to purchase and install 15 battery backup units is estimated at $120,000 or $8,000 per unit. This amount includes the battery backup systems, auxiliary cabinets to house the units, and installation of both the units and the cabinets. Funds in the amount of $120,000 are currently available in the General Fund Traffic Signal Maintenance Capital Outlay Budget. This amount is sufficient to buy and install 15 battery backup units and no additional funds are hereby requested. EXHIBITS: 1.
