COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 8
For meeting of 3-28-78
ITEM TITLE Resolution~~l~ Granting a 48-day Extension for the
Installation of Traffic Signals on "L" Street at
First and Second Avenues
SUBMITTED BY Director of Public Works/City Engineer
ITEM EXPLANATION
(4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES NO x )
On November 29, 1977, the City Council accepted bids and awarded the
contract for construction of traffic signals on "L" Street at First
and Second Avenues to Perry Electric Company. The contractor started
work on January 9, 1978 and has 90 days to complete the project (last
day is April 8, 1978).
Prior to advertising this contract, the City contacted the controller
manufacturer (Econolite Corporation) to determine if there would be
any lengthy delays in receipt of equipment. Staff was told the con-
trollers could be delivered 6-8 weeks after ordering. Perry Electric
Company ordered the controllers on December 15, 1977.
Econo:lte Corporation has informed us that due to a problem in ob-
taining parts for the controller, the units will not be shipped
until April 28, 1978. After receipt of the controllers, installation,
hookup. and turn-on of the signal systems will take approximately
3 weeks.
It is, therefore, recommended that a 48-day extension be granted to
Perry Electric Company (last day May 26, 1978) to complete the con-
struction of the traffic signals on "L" Street at First and Second
Avenues.

Dear Mr. Perry,
We have been advised by our supplier, Econolite, that the
controllers for the subject intersections will be delayed until
April 28, 1978. Please see the attached letter from Econolite.
You will recall our conversation at the time we quoted yotr.
on this job, that the City was informed prior to t'.~e bid by
Econolite, "t}tat the controllers were off the shelf i.tems,del.ivery
would be no problem." Econolite was givan a vex•bal P.0. on 12-20-77
and r-ecei.ved thei-r confirmation on 1-10-78. At that time we were
quoted a deli-very on 2-15 -78. On 2-10-78 a routine follow up
found the delivery had changed to 3-23-78. We requested a letter,
which is attached, showing delivery had again changed to 4428-78.
1"f you require additional. information please advise. Please copy
us on any correspondence you have with the City of Chula Vista on
this matter.
Sincerely yours,
