WHEREAS, staff has reviewed the low bid submittals and recommends awarding the
contract to T & M Electric, Incorporated dba Perry Electric in the amount of $119,410; and
WHEREAS, T & M Electric, Incorporated dba Perry Electric has recently installed traffic
signal projects in the City with satisfactory performance; and
WHEREAS, L" Street is a 4-lane class I collector street that intersects Fifth Avenue,
which is a class II collector street with an existing traffic signal that is currently operating on a
fixed timing plan. Modification work includes the replacement and/or addition of signal
standards, indications, pedestrian push button, video detection, internally illuminated street name
signs, wiring, and striping; and
WHEREAS, the traffic signal at the intersection of Bonita Road and Allen School Road is
currently operating on a permissive left turn phase for all directions. Signal modification
includes the installation of new signal indications for the north and south direction, a new video
detection camera for the La Bonita condominium complex driveway, and a signal standard at the
northeast corner; and
WHEREAS, additional funding in the amount of $23,351 is required for the completion
of the project due to higher material cost increases of $ 4,915 since November 2002 when the
original cost estimate was prepared, approximately $18,436 of additional staff time required
during the design phase, and the addition of initially planned loop detection-upgraded to video
detection following current design practice. Enhancement results in a higher initial construction
cost that will be-in the long run-offset by considerable lower maintenance/operation costs; and

WHEREAS, the Traffic Signal Left Turn Modification Program for Fiscal Year
2005/2006 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project No. TF-337 was approved by the City
Council with a total funding of $200,000 ($100,000 per year). This funding source typically
funds two intersections per fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, staff expects that even with the transfer of $23,351, the remaining balance
on the TF-337 CIP amount of $70,649 will be sufficient to complete at least two more
intersections that require minimal work or one intersection that may require more substantial
upgrades; and
WHEREAS, upon completion of construction, normal annual signal energy and
preventive maintenance costs are estimated to be $1,000 for each intersection; and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project
for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that
the project qualifies for a Class I categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 of the State
CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that he City Council of the City ofChula Vista
does hereby accept bids and award the contract for the Traffic Signal Modification at the
intersections of Bonita Road/Allen School Road and Fifth Avenue/L Street (TF-317) in the
amount of $119,410 to T & M Electric, Incorporated dba Perry Electric, and authorizes staff to
