Title
Approving a Professional Services Agreement with Austin Traffic Signal Construction Co., Inc. for Traffic Signal Maintenance in an amount not to exceed $405,000 for fiscal year 2022 and authorizing the City Manager to execute same.
Summary
While the initial agreement with Austin Traffic Signal was previously approved for FY 21 at the April 27, 2021 Council meeting, the purpose of this item is to secure services for FY22.
Historically, the City has utilized traffic signal contractors on an as needed basis for emergency repairs and response. In order to establish a Traffic Signal Maintenance Program with routine maintenance, emergency repairs and response, and the ability to have equipment installed when needed, staff worked with Kimley-Horn Engineering Consultants in order to identify City Signal Maintenance and operational needs and draft a Request for Proposal (RFP) to procure a maintenance and operation agreement that is most economically efficient while offering the highest value to the City.
The Traffic Signal Maintenance RFP process resulted in receiving a Statement of Qualification (SOQ) from Austin Traffic Signal wher it was reviewed and an agreement recommended to Council which was subsequently approved.
The proposed agreement being recommended is for Annual Preventative Maintenance for traffic signals and flashing beacons which includes Signal System Assessment, Night Inspections, Signal Head Checks, Miscellaneous maintenance and On-Call services for fiscal year 2022. The terms and conditions of the agreement are for an initial one (1) year term, with the option for two (2) subsequent one (1) year terms.
Upon staff and consultant review of work performed, staff is confident in ATS’s ability to provide the needed services for the City. This agreement will include the maintenance and response for all signals owned and operated by the City including recently accepted signals from TxDOT.
