Staff Report

TOPIC: Traffic Signal and Street Lighting Maintenance
AGENDA TITLE
Approve Agreement Amendments with Econolite Systems Inc. and California
Professional Engineering Inc. for Traffic Signal and Street Lighting Maintenance
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a first amendment to the agreement with
Econolite Systems Inc. to expand the Traffic Signal maintenance scope of work and
increase the expenditure amount by $825,000, for a total agreement amount not to
exceed $4,200,000 for the remaining term of the agreement expiring July 1, 2024,
subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and the City
Attorney.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a first amendment to the agreement with
California Professional Engineering Inc. to expand the Street Lighting maintenance
scope of work and increase the expenditure amount by $360,000, for a total
agreement amount not to exceed $2,619,184 for the remaining term of the agreement
expiring October 1, 2024, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City
Manager and the City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
Econolite System Inc. and California Professional Engineering (CPE) Inc. provide
electrical maintenance services for the City’s Traffic Signal and Street Lighting Systems.
There are two separate contracts, one for Traffic Signals and the other for Street Lighting.
Although the contracts are separate, the scope of services of the two agreements are
similar in nature providing preventative and emergency on-call maintenance services for
the citywide electrical systems. The two maintenance programs were previously managed
by separate sections within Public Works; however to improve efficiencies, both programs
are now under the supervision of the Public Works - Traffic Engineering Section (now
Traffic Signals and Street Lighting Division) as of the beginning of the current calendar
year.
By merging services, City Staff will be able to streamline repair services and improve
emergency response time to unforeseen circumstances such as damages caused by

accidents or failure of major system components. Econolite Systems Inc. will continue to
provide preventative and emergency on-call services for the Traffic Signal System but will
now also provide Street Lighting emergency on-call maintenance services. CPE will focus
on an expanded scope of services for on-call as needed maintenance repairs of the City
streetlights. The added scope and funds, as requested, are needed to maintain
responsiveness to the significant addition of approximately 7,500 street lights purchased
from Southern California Edison.
Background
On July 2, 2019, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement
with Econolite System Inc. for a period of three-year period with provision for two one-
year extensions. City Staff recommends increasing the total expenditure amount by
$825,000 and exercising the available extensions, for a total agreement amount not to
exceed $4,200,000 and term of the agreement expiring July 1, 2024.
On October 12, 2019, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute and
agreement with California Professional Engineering Inc. for a period of three-year period
with provision for two one-year extensions. City Staff recommends increasing the total
expenditure amount by $360,000 and exercising the available extensions, for a total
agreement amount not to exceed $2,699,684 and term of the agreement expiring October
1, 2024.
