Renew the contract with Safeway Sign Company for traffic signs, hardware and accessories for a
one-year period in an amount not to exceed $125,000, subject to non-substantive changes approved
by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Sign Maintenance Services Division maintains a wide array of traffic and street
name signs throughout the City. 5,100 signs were replaced during fiscal year 2012-13. The U.S.
Department of Transportation established new regulations to improve highway and street safety by
replacing less reflective signs with higher retro-reflectivity signs. The regulation includes a mandated
replacement deadline of January 2015. The Public Works Agency has a replacement schedule in
place to comply with the new regulation. The materials necessary for ongoing sign maintenance
operations, including signs, posts and mounting hardware, are purchased through the Central Stores
warehouse for distribution.
On October 11, 2011 the City awarded Safeway Sign Company a contract for traffic signs, as well as
hardware and accessories for a one-year period, with provisions for two one-year renewals. The
vendor has agreed to renew the contract without an increase in pricing. Staff recommends the final
renewal of the contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Public Works Roadway Marking/Signs account (no. 01117625-63001).
