FILE NUMBER
Renew the contract with Safeway Sign Company for traffic signs, hardware and accessories for a
one-year period in an amount not to exceed $100,000.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency (PWA) Sign Maintenance Services Division maintains a wide array of
traffic and street name signs throughout the city. In the last fiscal year, 6000 signs were replaced.
The U.S. Department of Transportation established new regulations for signs to improve safety
on the highways and streets by replacing less reflective signs with signage that has higher retro-
reflectivity. The regulation includes a mandated replacement deadline of January 2015. The
PWA has a replacement schedule in place to comply with the new regulation. The materials
necessary for ongoing sign maintenance operations -- including signs and various posts and
mounting hardware -- are purchased through the Central Stores warehouse for distribution to
PWA.
On October 11, 2011 the City awarded Safeway Sign Company a contract for traffic signs,
hardware and accessories for a one-year period, with provisions for two one-year renewals. The
vendor has performed satisfactorily during the past contract period and has agreed to renew the
contract without an increase in pricing. Staff recommends the first renewal of the contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Public Works Roadway Marking/Signs (accounting unit 01117625-
63001).
