AGENDA REPORT
DATE: April 8, 2002
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: Doug Danes, P.E., Director of Public Works /City Engineer
SUBJECT: AWARD BID FOR SEAL BEACH BOULEVARD
TRAFFIC SIGNAL FIBER OPTIC INTERCONNECT
SYSTEM PROJECT No. 50011.
SUMMARY OF REOUEST:
The proposed action will award a contract for the Seal Beach Blvd Traffic Signal Fiber
Optic Interconnect System Project No. 50011, to the lowest responsible bidder,
Broadband Powering Services, Inc. in the amount of $300,274.00 and authorize the City
Manager to execute the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
This proposed project is the second phase of upgrading and coordinating traffic signals
along Seal Beach Boulevard from Pacific Coast Highway to the 405 Freeway. Traffic
signal coordination is a method of timing groups of traffic signals along an arterial to
provide a smooth movement of traffic with minimal stops. The goal of the coordination
system is to efficiently move the greatest number of vehicles through the system with the
fewest possible stops. Signal coordination from the 405 Freeway to the north City limits
is currently under construction with the Bixby Development and is expected to be
completed in the Spring of 2002.
The first phase of the project has already been completed, with the installation of new
traffic controllers and cabinets along Seal Beach Boulevard. This second phase would
link signals along the Seal Beach arterial, through new buried fiber optic lines in a local
network. It will enable centralized control, coordination, and networking via a state -of-
the -art computer equipment and programs. This proposed project is fully funded under
the competitive Measure M Signal Improvements Program. Monies from this program
may only be used for these purposes and may be forfeited if the project is not completed.
Ten bids were received and opened by the City Clerk on Wednesday, March 27, 2002 as
listed below.
1 Broadband Powering Systems, Inc. $300,274.00

Capital Improvement Program budget for construction of these improvements. This
includes the design, administration, inspection, construction and the purchase of materials
and software for the project. Any remaining funds would be returned to OCTA.
