In order to maintain a high quality of safe streets, <br />contract services are required for the installation and removal of traffic striping, pavement markings, <br />curb markings, and raised pavement markers, as well as the installation, removal and relocation of <br />traffic signs. Additional funding has become available and a citywide restriping maintenance effort <br />is proposed to improve areas in need of roadway visibility and safety for Santa Ana motorists, <br />bicyclists and pedestrians. This effort will improve the safe and efficient flow of vehicles on all city <br />streets by having a high visibility traffic lane system, increasing the shared roadway use among <br />motorists, pedestrians and cyclists. This will also include the standardization and replacement of <br />faded street signs with retroreflective signs that increase their nighttime visibility, and are in <br />compliance with the Federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). <br />On August 2, 2016, the Santa Ana City Council awarded a one-year contract with provisions for <br />four one-year renewals to Orange County Striping Services, Inc., in an annual amount not to <br />exceed $523,000. As a result of the above mentioned activities, the annual not -to -exceed amount <br />allocated to the Public Works Agency in the original contract will be exceeded.
