Explanation
§ Work in city right-of-way often requires temporary traffic control to provide protection for workers, motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists.
§ Contracted traffic control services provide city crews the opportunity to focus on completing repairs or existing projects without allocating staff or devices to traffic control activities such as flagging and lane closures. Contracted traffic control services also allow the city to maintain fewer signs, cones, and barricades in its inventory.
§ On July 12, 2019, the city issued a Request for Proposals (RFP); two responses were received.
§ The companies selected best meet the city’s needs on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualification of professional services in response to the RFP requirements.
§ Total annual expenditures are estimated to be $500,000.
