DISCUSSION
In September 2004, the Public Works Agency accepted a $350,000 Santa Ana
Interagency Pedestrian Safety Program grant from the California Office
of Traffic Safety. The grant provides funding to replace two outdated
radar trailers. The new radar speed display trailers are useful in
deterring motorists from driving in excess of posted speed limits.
Consistent with the City's Standard Procedure for managing motorist
driving speeds, the radar trailers will be located on residential
streets throughout the City.
The notice inviting bids was advertised on April 13 and 15, 2005, and
bids were solicited. A summary of the bid invitations and bids received
is as follows:
11 Invitations For Bid mailed
5 Bids received
Bids were received, opened on April 26, 2005 and evaluated (Exhibit 1).
Kustom Signals, Inc. (Bid 'A') was for a different make of radar trailer
with a smaller amber display screen and is therefore nonresponsive to
the specification. The bid from U.S. Traffic Corporation is responsive
to the specifications and meets the City's requirements.
