TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
DATE: June 9, 2000 (Council Meeting 6- 21 -00)
SUBJECT: Consider Bids for the Modification of the Traffic Signal
at the Intersection of Moorpark Road and Tierra Rejada
Road
DISCUSSION
A. Background
On February 18, 2000, the City Council approved a project
[Project 80271 to modify the traffic signal at the subject
intersection by changing the permissive /restrictive phase for
west -to -south left -turn traffic to a restrictive phase only.
The present permissive /restrictive design allows left -turn
traffic movements on a GREEN ARROW and on a GREEN ball. The
change to restrictive phase only would permit left turn traffic
on a GREEN ARROW only.
B. Scope of Work: Construction
The suggested modification of the traffic signal will require
work generally described as follows:
• removal and replacement of a 25' long mast arm with a 301
long mast arm;
• removal of the five -lens [doghouse] head and installation of
two new heads;
• removal and replacement of the five -lens vertical head with
a new standard three -lens head;
• removal and replacement of certain signing; and
• re- wiring and reprogramming.
