Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to allow additional expenditures under Contract 148407 with JTB Supply Co.

Report
Summary
This contract provides the Street Transportation Department with Type B Utility Service Meter Cabinets with battery backup system circuitry and generator receptacles to provide power to traffic signal intersections, throughout the City. In the event of a power outage, from the utility side of the meter, these cabinets will operate the traffic signals on battery power for up to eight hours. If the power outage exceeds eight hours, the City can connect to the generator receptor to provide power which will both recharge the batteries and continue operating the traffic signal system. Due to larger than expected Capital Improvement Project work volume, additional funds are needed for the remainder of the contract term.
Contract Term
The contract term remains unchanged, ending on Sep. 5, 2023.
Financial Impact
Upon approval of $300,000 in additional funds, the revised aggregate value of the contract will not exceed $1,300,000. Funds are available in the Street Transportation Department budget.
