DIRECTOR / CITY ENGINEER <br />SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE AWARD OF A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT <br />FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF DAMAGED TRAFFIC SIGNAL <br />LOOP DETECTORS ON VARIOUS LOCATIONS TO LOOP <br />MASTERS, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $26,775 <br />DATE: AUGUST 13, 2007 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />In a city wide traffic study and inventory assessment conducted by staff, a total of one hundred nineteen <br />(119) traffic signal loop detectors were reported damaged. Traffic signal loop detectors are used at <br />intersections to detect passing vehicles and adjust traffic signal lights to increase traffic flow and aid in <br />traffic safety. In order to increase traffic flow and safety, the replacement of damaged traffic signal loop <br />detectors is recommended. The project scope of work consists of removal of existing damaged traffic <br />signal loop detectors, installation of new traffic signal loop detectors, and filling in the street cut with <br />hot melt rubberized asphalt sealant. The damaged traffic signal loop detectors were identified by staff to <br />exist largely along the Washington Corridor at the following intersections: <br />Intersection <br />N/B <br />S/B <br />E/B <br />W/B <br />Washington <br />Cooley Dr./Barton <br />10 <br />8 <br />10 <br />0 <br />Washington <br />Mohave <br />0 <br />6 <br />2 <br />0 <br />Washington <br />Meadow <br />0 <br />6 <br />0 <br />0 <br />Washington <br />Bluff <br />3 <br />0 <br />0 <br />4 <br />Mt.
