STAFF REPORT
To: Mayor and Members of the City Council
Attention: Keith R. Till, City Manager
From: Stephen G. Badum, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: APPROVAL OF PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, &
ESTIMATES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SEAL
BEACH BOULEVARD TRAFFIC SIGNAL
COORDINATION, PROJECT NO. 751
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The proposed City Council action will approve the plans, specifications, and estimates and
authorize Staff to initiate the bidding process so that a contract may be awarded
for the construction of the Seal Beach Boulevard Traffic Signal Coordination, Project
#751.
DISCUSSION:
This project is the first of two projects that will upgrade and coordinate traffic signals on
Seal Beach Boulevard from Pacific Coast Highway. The first phase project will replace
existing traffic signal controllers and cabinets to industry standards and permit linkage to
the State traffic signals at PCH and I-405 and Countywide networks. Due to a savings
resulting from development mitigation, signals on Lampson Avenue and Westminster
Avenue will also be included in this project. This project is fully funded under the
Measure M, Signal Improvement Program.
The second project will tie all of the signals together in a local network that will enable
centralized control, coordination, and networking via state of the art computer
programming. This project is scheduled for FY 2000/01 and is also fully funded under
Measure M.
The plans and specifications were completed by City staff and W.G. Zimmerman
Engineering. Upon the successful bidding process and award of a contract, the project
should be completed in September.
