RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council award a contract for W.O. 21-22 Signal Conduit Upgrade to Elcon Corporation in the amount of $127,878.00.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
W.O. 21-22 Signal Conduit Upgrade is part of the on-going traffic signal replacement project. The City has been upgrading the existing traffic controllers, communication equipment, and detection to allow staff to immediately respond to traffic demands. There are two existing signals on Central Avenue (15th Street West & Moore Lane) that have collapsed conduits that need to be replaced to perform the necessary upgrades. These two intersections are remaining schedules from W.O. 20-38 Broadwater & Central Signal Conduit that were not awarded. Staff opened bids on June 15, 2021, for the project. The contract was advertised on May 28, June 4, and June 11, 2021, in The Yellowstone County News and on the City's website. Two bids were received, and Elcon Corporation submitted the lowest, responsible bid.
ALTERNATIVES

- Award all schedules of W.O. 21-22 Signal Conduit Upgrades to Elcon Corporation in the amount of $127,878.00; or,
