The contract for traffic signs and hardware is <br />designed to provide quality products at significant savings based on <br />quantity pricing. <br /> <br />On October 15, 2001 a contract with Zumar Industries was established for <br />two years with the option of two one-year renewals for the purchase of <br />traffic signs and hardware. During the contract period, CalTrans <br />informed the Public Works Agency of a change in specifications. The new <br />specifications provide higher visibility of traffic signs near schools <br />and high traffic areas. Since December 2003, Public Works staff has <br />issued requests to purchase 2000 replacement signs throughout the City. <br /> <br />Since the new specifications require the signs to have a higher <br />reflective visual impact performance sheeting and overlay coating, the <br />new signs are more than doubled in price. Staff surveyed other vendors <br />to ensure that the pricing presented was competitive. As a result, staff <br />is recommending an amendment to increase the contract limit by $65,000. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />22A-1 <br /> <br />CS.383 <br />
