ITEMNO.~
The cost of real estate services is charged on a time-and-materials
basis, as needed and directed by the City. The services are not
utilized on an ongoing basis, but have been project-specific and are
paid by the funding for the individual project.
DESCRIPTION: The City has contracted with Alameda County for traffic signal
services since incorporation. Street lighting maintenance and Real Estate Services were each added to the
contract in 1993.
Services Provided
Under the terms of the agreement (Attachment 2), services are provided on both a routine and as-needed
basis. The costs are charged on a time-and-materials basis, and the City receives a detailed monthly
billing which indicates hours and costs for each intersection and for street lighting maintenance. A
statement is also provided which indicates materials used. There is no markup on materials.
The services typically provided under traffic signal maintenance include the following:
. A bimonthly visit to each signalized intersection for the purpose of routine maintenance. Routine
maintenance includes the activities as outlined in the agreement.
. 24-hour callout service for non-routine activities such as complaint investigation, repairs, or
Underground Service Alert (USA) marking. The response time for callouts is typically between
two hours and 24 hours, depending on the time of day and the nature of the problem.
. Traffic signal repairs may be provided at the City's request or in response to a condition noted by a
County technician.
The services typically provided under street lighting maintenance are:
. Routine maintenance or repair of street lights, including artwork lighting, as requested by the City.
Repairs may include light bulbs, photoelectric controls or other components, as well as wiring
repairs, pole replacements, or other services as needed. Street lighting maintenance also includes
24-hour callout service for pole knockdowns or other situations that may create a hazardous
condition.
Staff consults with County personnel in relation to review of construction plans and also to provide
inspection for both City and private development construction of traffic signals and street lighting. Staff
has requested County personnel to provide these services because of the level of expertise required and to
also point out any deficiencies that could become a maintenance issue at a later date. Plan review and
inspection services are requested as a convenience to Staff and are not a contract condition.
Real Estate Services typically include appraisals, negotiations, and/or legal documentation such as deeds
or rights of entry related to acquisitions for road improvements or other projects. These services are billed
on a time-and-materials basis and are utilized only as needed by the City for specific projects.

Performance Review
The number of traffic signals in the City has increased from 13 to 78 in the past 25 years and is expected
to include nearly 90 within the next few years. Except for the removal of weekly patrolling from the
contract, the level of service has not decreased. The routine maintenance has continued according to a
pre-set schedule, and the response time for call outs has not increased. The traffic signal crew consists of a
working supervisor and three technicians. Three of these personnel have from 17 to 25 years experience.
The third technician was added approximately six years ago.
While any electronic equipment may malfunction without warning, Staff is unaware of any problems
which have occurred that are directly related to a maintenance deficiency. The County personnel are
knowledgeable regarding improvements in components and safety devices and advise the City when
equipment changes or other improvements should be considered.
Exhibit A of the original agreement identifies a specific maintenance schedule that establishes weekly,
monthly, quarterly, and annual services. This schedule dates back to the beginning of the contract in 1982
and was revised by consensus in 2003 (Attachment 2) to improve efficiency and reduce costs. The weekly
patrolling service was removed from the agreement.
The liability exposure related to traffic control devices is extremely high, and it is important to note that
the agreement indemnifies the City for any incidents which may occur related to the maintenance of traffic
signals.
At the time street light maintenance was added to the agreement, the City only owned 400 lights on
arterial streets. The number will exceed 3,400 by the end of the 2007-08 fiscal year. Routine street
light maintenance (bulbs, photoelectric controls, fixture changes, fuses) is performed by a street lighting
technician; more extensive wiring repairs are performed by one of the signal technicians or, on occasion,
are subcontracted to an electrical contractor. The City's performance standard for street light repairs
provides that the repair will occur within five working days unless the repair is of an extraordinary nature.
This standard is written into the agreement, and the response has typically been within a shorter time
frame. A more normal response time occurs within 48 hours of the submittal of the street light repair work
order. Consistent response time and quality of work is considered highly satisfactory.
Because the County personnel have continued to provide expert and conscientious service over the years,
Staff has felt the need to spend only minimal time monitoring and supervising this service, which
ultimately reduces Staff's workload and personnel cost related to this contract.
Alternatives
There are generally two alternatives to contracting with another public agency for services: in-house
personnel or a private contractor.
In-House Personnel: Staff has explored the possibility of utilizing in-house personnel in the past, and
while the number of facilities is approaching the point that a Staff position could be considered, the City
does not have a corporation yard for storage of equipment and materials. Additionally, two positions
would need to be created in order to provide vacation or illness relief, and the cost of two positions
(wages, benefits, and vehicles) plus material supplies would still exceed the cost of services through the
County.

Signal Technician, Supervisory Level $10,000 (workstation Salary $79,000 (+)
and safety equip.) Benefits @ 30% $24,000

Street Lighting High Lift Truck $180,000 Deprec. (1 0 yr.) $18,000

Service $ 6,000 (+)
$27,600
Estimated Material Cost $60,000 $12,000 (+)
TOTALS: $376,400 $ 237,340
Regarding parts for repair, the City does have an independent supply of unique parts at the County's yard,
but the components that are universally used are purchased by the County and subsequently billed to the
City as the parts are installed so that the City does not incur a large capital outlay for parts.
Fuel costs as noted above are based on diesel fuel, 10 mpg, and 800 miles per vehicle per month. It
should be noted that the City does not currently have a diesel fuel source and would either have to contract
with the County to obtain fuel from the County maintenance yard or would have to purchase fuel at a
retail service station. The 2,000 gallon diesel tank for the emergency generator is not currently accessible
as a fueling source for vehicles.
Therefore, Staff feels that hiring in-house staff for this actIvIty is premature, although it may be
appropriate to consider providing this service in-house at some time in the future.
Private Contractor: Staff has also explored this possibility in the past and will continue to review the
market periodically. There are several private contractors who perform traffic signal and street lighting
maintenance at a variety of rates and levels of service. Following are some examples:
TRAFFIC SIGNAL MAINTENANCE
COST OF
JURISDICTION COST OF BASIC ADDITIONAL
CONTRACTOR (# of signals) MAINTENANCE FREQUENCY WORK (labor + MA TERIAL
vehicle + overhead) MARKUP
Alameda County $ 129/month. $129 per hour;
(for comparison Dublin (78) (average of 1 hour Bimonthly overtime is slightly
purposes) per intersection (every 2 higher but is not time None
per month at months) & Yj or double time.
$ 129/hour)
$98.81/month (per Not Available
Republic Elec. Gilroy (56) intersection) Monthly 20%
$120/month (per Monthly Not Available
Republic Elec. Los Gatos (32) intersection) 20%
$3000-$5000 in extra
Republic Elec. Fremont (154) $170 per visit Bimonthly maintenance monthly 15%
*With the exception of relamping, the maintenance that is performed quarterly, semi-annually, or annually in the Elk
Grove and Windsor contracts is all performed bimonthly by Alameda County for the City of Dublin.
Page 4 of5
The unit costs for these agreements vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and depend on the level of
service desired by the agency. While the unit cost for basic maintenance appears to be less, the service
provided is typically also less; for example, under the City of Gilroy and City of Los Gatos contracts, only
preventative maintenance on a regularly-scheduled basis is provided. Quarterly maintenance includes
testing pushbuttons, visual inspection of roadway, and checking the detector modules; only the semi-
annual maintenance includes checking cabinet fans, filters, and lights; and only the annual maintenance
includes vacuuming, replacing the filter, checking indicator lamps and connectors, etc. The County
includes all of these services on every bimonthly maintenance call and corrects any problems that are
found.
With respect to repairs outside the realm of basic maintenance, the same County hourly labor/vehicle/
overhead rate applies. Whenever possible, the technicians will perform multiple service activities on one
trip so that the City is not paying travel time for just one repair. Overtime, when needed, is billed at a
slightly higher rate, but is not time-and-a-half or double-time. There is no markup on materials that have
been purchased by the County and subsequently billed to the City.
STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE

CONTRACTOR (# oflights) MAINTENANCE WORK (labor + MA TERIAL

Alameda Co. Dublin (3,400) $1.10 per light per month (Included) None

month
Republic E1ec. Los Gatos (2,020) $1.50 - $3.50 per light per Not Available 20%
month
It was difficult to obtain comparison information for street lighting maintenance; however, the above
examples indicate that the average cost is higher with private contractors than Dublin has experienced
with the County.
Real-Estate Services
This service has not been used for several years, but Staff recommends leaving the Exhibit in this
contract for at least the next term in the event that these services are needed for future capital projects.
The alternative to using the County for this service is to use a private consulting firm, which has also been
adequate and produced appropriate results.
Recommendation
Based on the continued quality of service and cost-effectiveness exhibited by Alameda County, Staff
recommends that the City Council 1) review the services provided under this agreement, and 2) adopt
the resolution approving the renewal of the contract (three year extension and addition of new facilities to
traffic signals and street lighting locations).
