SUBJECT: PPW JOB NO. A10-002 -TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND STREET LIGHT
MAINTENANCE
DISCUSSION (cont'd):
Transportation Services, Inc.. was modified to include a reduced scope of services (and
corresponding financial savings). Modifications included the elimination of parking lot light
services (to be performed by Town staff) and an extended preventive maintenance cycle for
traffic signals. These modifications to .the service maintenance contract and reduction to the
scope of work were implemented a year ago with no increased liability to the Town.
After evaluating the contract modifications brought forward for FY 2009/10 as well as contractor
performance, staff believes the reduced scope of work is sustainable and the quality of work
performed by Republic Intelligent Transportation Services, Inc. is of sufficient quality and.
pricing to recommend an extension to the current maintenance agreement. The annual
maintenance cost for this service is $76,434.24.
CONCLUSION:
Staff is satisfied with the performance of Republic Intelligent Transportation Services,. Inc. and
recoimmends that the Town Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the Town
Manager to execute an amendment to the contract agreement with Republic Intelligent
Transportation Services, Inc, for a period of two more years to provide signal and street light
maintenance services in the Town of Los Gatos.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
The project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Sections 15301(c), 15303 (e) and 15304(b) of the
State CEQA guidelines.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The aruiual maintenance cost by Republic Intelligent Transportation Services, Inc. is $76,434.24
and funded under the Streets Programm 540.1.
