minimal left turns. This computer system will not be able to bypass any of these <br /> requirements. <br /> A bid opening was held on July 24, 2002, and three bids were received. The bid results <br /> are summarized below: <br /> <br /> I No. Bidder I Bid Amount <br /> 1. S.G. Barber Construction, Inc. - Belmont, CA. $278,440.00 <br /> 2. Tennyson Electric, Inc. - Livermore, CA $306,350.00 <br /> 3. Mike Brown Electric_- Cotati, CA $396,250.00 <br /> Average $327,013.00 <br /> Engineer's Estimate .................. $202,840 <br /> <br />The bids came in significantly higher than estimated, because the equipment and <br />software are proprietary. There are several other proprietary systems in the market <br />place, and the use of our current system, Econolite, was dictated by Phase 1. Staff <br />considered Econolite to be one of the finest traffic control systems available, and are <br />satisfied with the functionality and performance of both the hardware and software. <br />Software upgrade is the component that threw the Engineer's Estimate off. There was <br />no effective way of predicting how much Econolite will charge for the software. There <br />will be no need to upgrade again unless new functions are desired. The Federal <br />Government is making an attempt to standardize the industry so every software will <br />work with every hardware, but compliance is slow to develop. <br />The bid from S. G. Barber Construction is considered to be responsive. S. G. Barber <br />was aisc the Contractor for Ptlase 1 of the project, a~ld they completed the project <br />successfully. This project is a sophisticated electronic network and S. G. Barber <br />Construction understands it well. <br />Fiscal Impact <br />Funds in the amount of $292,000 have been appropriated by Caltrans for this project. It <br />will be reimbursed to the City after the improvements are installed. An additional <br />$38,000 is available in the FY 2001-2002 Capital Improvement Program budget under <br />the Gas Tax Construction Funds for Traffic Signals Cabinet Modification, to support the <br />balance of this contract (matching funds). <br />~-...._ S.
