ITEM:
SUMMARY:
The installation of traffic signal equipment at the intersection of County 22nd Street and 4th Avenue is urgently needed to address ongoing safety and traffic concerns. This intersection has experienced several serious accidents recently, highlighting the need for improved traffic control. Additionally, heavy traffic frequently causes significant backups, further increasing the risk of collisions and delays. Westmoor Electric, Inc. is a local vendor that is willing and able to provide the required services promptly, efficiently, and effectively, saving the City valuable time and money if we go through the advertisement process. Public Works plans to complete the installation of the traffic signal equipment and, shortly afterward, initiate a formal bidding process for the road widening project to further enhance safety and traffic flow in the area.
Staff is seeking Council approval to accept Construction Services for this project in the amount of $159,420.00. Staff is also seeking approval from the mayor and council to waive formal procurement procedures. This purchase falls under the provisions of City Purchasing Code §3.05.020 Exclusive Services, and is under the Arizona Revised Statute 34-201 Bidding Thresholds.
