TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council $
FROM: Sean R. Stegall, City Manager dod Cor intuntry
David L. Lawry, General Servi es Group Direct
SUBJECT: Traffic Signal Maintenance Agreement with Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick,Inc.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with
information to consider the acceptance of an agreement with Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick
(HLR), Inc. for traffic signal maintenance and management.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached agreement with HLR, Inc. to
perform traffic signal maintenance and management for City owned street signals at a cost of
$44,648 per year for two years.
BACKGROUND
In the fall of 2008,the City's workforce reduction program eliminated the Traffic Superintendent
position. This position was responsible for coordinating traffic signal and street light
maintenance, review inventories and other related operational tasks. Since that time,the City has
utilized HLR, Inc. on an interim as-needed basis to provide these professional services. The
proposed agreement formalizes this interim relationship for a two year period. The proposed
scope of services to be provided by HLR, Inc. includes all duties and tasks previously done by
the Traffic Superintendent. These include traffic and street light monitoring, maintenance, cost
calculations for lighting projects, review of lighting plans for new developments, and preparation
of traffic studies (see the attached agreement for complete list).
It is important to continue the maintenance and management of the City's traffic and street
lighting systems. Proper street and traffic lighting create a safe, efficient and aesthetically
pleasing community. While the City has continued to operate at an adequate service level
without a formal agreement, it has done so without any regular inspections of the systems. To
minimize unexpected problems, it is recommended to enter into a formal relationship in order to
reduce the City's exposure to interruptions in its street lighting and traffic signal systems. In
2004, the City utilized HLR, Inc. for the design of a new traffic signal system in the Central
Traffic Signal Maintenance Agreement with HLR, Inc.
July 2,2009

Business District (CBD). This complex project increased HLR, Inc.'s familiarity with Elgin.
Additionally, HLR has designed the National Street system, the South McLean Blvd. system,
and they have provided the current timing program with the Kimball Street system. The
aforementioned systems comprise the four largest and most complex traffic control systems in
the City. HLR, Inc. is the most qualified and experienced firm to manage these systems.
