Council Meeting, January 12, 1993
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: city staff
SUBJECT: Award of Contract for Construction Management
Services for Upgrading and Modernizing Traffic
Signals on Wilshire Boulevard
Introduction
This report requests that the City Council award a contract
for construction management services for upgrading and
modernizing traffic signals on wilshire Boulevard to Willdan
Associates in the amount not to exceed $118,700.
Backqround
The City has received approval for funding in the amount of
$1.7 million for traffic signal improvements along Wilshire
Boulevard from the Los Angeles County Transportation
Commission (LACTC) under the Federal Surface Transportation
Program (STP). The proposed project will consist of
installing new traffic signal systems and upgrading signal
controllers at eighteen intersections on Wilshire Boulevard.
This is the first phase of a citywide plan to computerize
and synchronize traffic signals. When this project is

completed, all the signals along Wilshire Boulevard can be
monitored and changed from locations in city Hall and the
city Yard to improve traffic flow.
The time allotted for the construction of this project is
150 working days. Construction will start in late January
or early February of 1993. The disruption to the businesses
along Wilshire Boulevard and the traffic flow is expected to
be minimal.
Due to resource requirements and complexity of the project,
the City decided to hire a consultant to manage the
construction of the project. The project construction
requires the fUll-time, specialized efforts of several
individuals and the City cannot provide these resources at
this time. In order to utilize federal funds for payment of
the consultant fee, the city must follow the selection and
contracting procedures established by Federal and State
agencies. The city issued a Request for Proposal and
received four proposals from bidders. A staff committee
evaluated the proposals and selected the most qualified
bidder, willdan Associates.
