Reject Bid 'A' from Kustom Signals, Inc. as nonresponsive. <br /> <br />2. Award a contract to U.S. Traffic Corporation for two radar speed <br />display trailers in an amount not to exceed $19,707.47. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />In September 2004, the Public Works Agency accepted a $350,000 Santa Ana <br />Interagency Pedestrian Safety Program grant from the California Office <br />of Traffic Safety. The grant provides funding to replace two outdated <br />radar trailers. The new radar speed display trailers are useful in <br />deterring motorists from driving in excess of posted speed limits. <br />Consistent with the City's Standard Procedure for managing motorist <br />driving speeds, the radar trailers will be located on residential <br />streets throughout the City. <br /> <br />The notice inviting bids was advertised on April 13 and 15, 2005, and <br />bids were solicited. A summary of the bid invitations and bids received <br />is as follows: <br /> <br />11 Invitations For Bid mailed <br />5 Bids received <br /> <br />Bids were received, opened on April 26, 2005 and evaluated (Exhibit 1). <br />Kustom Signals, Inc. (Bid 'A') was for a different make of radar trailer <br />with a smaller amber display screen and is therefore nonresponsive to <br />the specification. The bid from U.S. Traffic Corporation is responsive <br />to the specifications and meets the City's requirements. <br /> <br />228-1 <br />
