BACKGROUND
The City of Brighton has over three dozen traffic signals across the transportation network. Each year, annual inspections are performed on the traffic signal equipment for performance, compliance, and functionality. Further, routine traffic signal maintenance is performed on traffic signals to maintain safe and reliable operation. Traffic signals are essential in controlling the orderly flow of traffic through intersections.
It is estimated that over 500,000 vehicles travel through signalized intersections within the City of Brighton on a daily basis. Traffic signals contain several operational pieces of equipment and are hard-wired for power and communications. In order to keep a traffic signal functioning, wiring and components need to be replaced periodically.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Sufficient appropriation exists for the project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the request to issue an award to TAT Construction, LLC as the lowest most responsive and responsible proposer.
