STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Approving an Amendment to the Agreement Between the City of Dublin and County of Alameda for Traffic Signal and Street L ighting Maintenance, and Real Estate Services. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Sufficient funds were included in the Fiscal Year 2017 -18 Budget Update to cover these costs. DESCRIPTION: The City has contracted with Alameda County for traffic signal services since t he City’s incorporation in 1982. Street lighting maintenance and real estate services were added to the contract in 1993. Past agreements with the County have been for terms of either three or five years. The City Council last considered this agreement with Alameda County on June 17, 2014, and extended the agreement for three years. The current agreement is set to expire on June 30, 2017. Services Provided Under the terms of the agreement, services are provided on both a routine and as - needed basis. The costs are charged on a time-and-materials basis, and the City Page 2 of 3 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 cost markup on materials. The services typically provided under traffic signal maintenance include the following: Bi-monthly visits to each signalized intersection for routine maintenance . 24-hour callout service for non-routine activities such as complaint investigation, repairs, or Underground Service Alert (USA) marking. Traffic signal repairs, either 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. Street lighting maintenance also includes 24-hour callout service for pole knockdowns or other situations that may create a safety concern. Staff also consults with County personnel for the review of signal and lighting construction plans. In addition, the County provides as-needed inspection services for both City and private development construction of traffic signals and street lighting. Staff uses County personnel to provide these services because of the level of expertise required, and to identify deficiencies that might become future maintenance issues. 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 92 to 95 since the last contract review was completed in 2014. The City expects that the number of traffic signals will increase to 99 within the next few years. Routine maintenance has continued according to a pre-set schedule and the response time for callouts has not increased. The traffic signal and street light crew consists of a working supervisor and two technicians. Exhibit A of the amendment identifies a specific maintenance schedule and se rvices. The liability exposure related to traffic control devices is 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. Page 3 of 3 The City currently own 4,300 street lights. The City’s performance standard for street light repairs provides that the repair will occur within five business 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 typical response time is 48 hours from the submittal of the street light repair work order. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: A copy of the Staff Report has been forwarded to the County of Alameda Publi c Works Agency. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
