BACKGROUND In 1995 the City made the decision to standardize traffic signal control equipment on units manufactured by Eagle Signal . This was done in response to a request from the Illinois Department Of Transportation (IDOT) to select a standard supplier to insure compatibility. While certain signal components offer some interchangeability, signal systems must be fully compatible to insure that the intersections can be interconnected for coordination of traffic flow. Since that time, the City has purchased the equipment sole source from the authorized distributor for Eagle Signal in our area, Brown Traffic Products . Staff solicited a proposal from Brown for this year' s purchase of major signal components. Those components include two controllers which will be utilized at Chicago and Gifford and at Chicago and Channing. The current equipment at these intersections in very outdated and has technical limitations which may affect the safety of turning movements. The balance of the purchase is for three section (red, yellow, green) and five section (red, yellow, green, yellow arrow, green arrow) signal heads, as well as two section pedestrian signal heads . These are equipped with the LED faces that are brighter, use less power (as much as 90% less based on our measurements at the q Sole Source Purchase December 13 , 2002 Page 2 Kimball/Dundee intersection) and last for up to 10 years without re-lamping. Attached is an agreement with Brown Traffic Products for the purchase of this equipment for $27, 760 . 00 . Pricing is the same as that provided to the City Of Chicago on a recent bid. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None FINANCIAL IMPACT The total cost of this purchase is $27, 760 . 00 . There are sufficient funds budgeted and available under project number 339778, "Traffic Signal Equipment" in account number 275-0000- 791 . 92-46, "Other Equipment" ($28, 000) to enter into this contract with Brown Traffic Products. em:frEGAL IMPACT None ALTERNATIVES 1 . Approve the sole source purchase of traffic signal equipment 2 . Do not approve the purchase and direct staff to proceed differently. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the contract to purchase traffic signal equipment from Brown Traffic Products for $27, 670 . 00 .
