Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

Reading and Public Hearing The traffic signal network requires routine maintenance, modern upgrades, and on-call emergency repair. Including the SH26 corridor, the City maintains twelve (12) signaled intersections. To secure a pool of qualified, vetted vendors, staff prepared and posted a Request for Proposals (RFP). Awarding contracts to multiple vendors provides the City additional flexibility in emergency situations. If one vendor is busy or lacks a specific part, a secondary vendor can be contacted.
