Gilbert, Director of Public Works Date: March 8, 2002 (Council Meeting 3- 20 -02) Subject: Consider a Resolution Funding Additional Signs and Equipment for Public Works DISCUSSION A. Radar Speed Feedback Signs At a recent meeting of the City Council Transportation and Streets Committee, there was discussion of a new product to help with the problem of excessive speeding (see Exhibit 1). This product incorporates a radar speed display panel into a speed limit sign. Like the mobile trailers which the City already deploys, these signs advise the motoring public of the speed limit and of the speed their vehicle is traveling. The main difference is that this product is "permanent" installation (see discussion below) that is more compact and installed on a sign at the side of the road. These signs can be used in a School Speed Zone or in place of any "normal" speed limit sign. The signs operate by means of solar /battery power and are mounted to any sign pole or street light pole. The Committee suggested that the City acquire some of these signs to assist with public education regarding vehicular speed. If approved, it is the intent of staff to acquire four (4) such signs for deployment on arterial streets and in residential neighborhoods where speeding is a problem. Two (2) such signs would be permanently installed on selected arterial streets (i.e. Tierra Rejada Road and Collins Drive). The other two (2) signs would be placed on selected residential streets on a temporary basis, and be relocated to a different residential street on a periodic basis. Relocation is estimated to require approximately three (3) to four (4) manhours. The cost of the project, not including in- house labor, is $35,000 [4 signs @ $8,000 each = $32,000 + contingency]. It is anticipated that the batteries would have to be replace once every three (3) years. Signs_020320 i �• , �.y� Signs & Striping Machine March 8, 2002 Page 2 B. Striping Equipment For a number of years now, the City has owned and operated a stencil truck which enables us to provide stenciled road marking via an "in- house" effort, at a cost less than that charged by private contractors. This equipment, however, does not allow us to perform any striping work. Attached as Exhibit 2 is information regarding a small striping machine requested to be purchased by the Department. Normally such a piece of equipment would be included in the budget information to be considered by the City Council during the annual budget review process. This request is being made at this time, however, in order to facilitate certain cost savings in meeting certain current striping needs, through the use of "in- house" vs. contract striping services. The cost of the equipment is approximately $7,000. This equipment will enable our maintenance personnel to undertake small striping projects in- house. C. Fiscal Impact Attached as Exhibit 3 is a Resolution amending the budget to provide funding for the above describe purchases. The funding source for these items is the Gas Tax Fund [Fund 26051. The total cost is summarized as follows: Description Amount ($) Signs 35,000 Striping Equipment 7,000 Total 42,000 STAFF RECOMMENDATION (ROLL CALL VOTE) Adopt Resolution No. 2002- Attachments: Exhibit 1: Exhibit 2: Exhibit 3: Radar Speed Feed -back Signs Striping Equipment Resolution ��; !-a erN r R' Signs_020320 E. %s, As J, 3M ScotchliteT" Dynamic Message Systems Active School Zone Signs Driver Feedback Speed Sign 3M "' Active School Zone Signs offer state - of- the -art solutions to improve sign visibility, alert drivers, and protect children at school crossings.
