SUBJECT: Consider the Selection of Republic ITS for Traffic Signal Modification,
and Installation of Six Pedestrian Countdown Displays for Crosswalks
on Los Angeles Avenue at Tierra Rejada Road/Gabbert Road (Project
8046)
BACKGROUND
On May 28, 2010, Request for Proposal's (RFP)were mailed to five contractors requesting
informal bids for the installation and phasing improvements of a left-turn signal at the
intersection of Los Angeles Avenue and Tierra Rejada/Gabbert Road. Four of these
Contractors submitted proposals.
DISCUSSION
The project consists of modification of the existing traffic signal to provide protective left-
turn phasing for Los Angeles Avenue at Tierra Rejada Road/Gabbert Road in north-south
direction and six new pedestrian interval countdown displays for the crosswalks. With the
installation of the protective left turn phasing from Gabbert Road, the overall safety at this
intersection will be improved. Caltrans has previously identified this intersection for
improvements due to the number of accidents, and Caltrans fully supports this project.
Hartzog and Crabill, City's consultant, designed the project and an encroachment permit
was obtained from Caltrans for the work. Construction will occur between 9:00 a.m.to 3:00
p.m. M-F for 20 working days; contractor will be authorized to close traffic lanes using
approved traffic control plans during this time. Construction inspection will be in house and
staff will work with the contractor to minimize the inconveniences.

Four proposals for the Project were received:
y Republic ITS $9,951.00
y Taft Electric Company $14,836.00
Y Macadee Electrical Construction $14,881.00
Econolite Traffic Eng. & Maintenance, Inc. $20,674.00
Staff reviewed the proposals and all were found to be responsible and responsive to the
informal bid request. The low bidder is Republic ITS. Republic ITS is the City's
maintenance contractor for maintenance of traffic signals and their response and
performance has been very good.
Construction is anticipated to commence in July 2010 and be complete by September
2010.
FISCAL IMPACT
This Project was included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2009/10 budget and has been carried
over in the FY 2010/11 budget. The Project is funded from the LA Area of Contribution
(AOC) Fund.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Award a construction contract to Republic ITS in the amount of $9,951.00 for the subject
project, and amend the construction contract for project contingencies in an amount not to
exceed $1,500.00 if and when the need arises for extra work and services.
