HomeMy WebLinkAbout11- Agreement with Montana Lines for Opticom Equipment on traffic signals0 FA Andrew Kerr Engineering Assistant 582-2286 To: Chris Kukulski, City Manager Date: March 1, 2011 Re: Opticom Project We have solicited bids for the installation of the Opticom equipment On traffic signals at 13 intersections. The purchase of the equipment that is to be installed is being handled separately. As you may know, this Opticom equipment allows for fire response vehicles to trigger green lights at intersection allowing for faster response times. We sent a solicitation to six companies that install this type of equipment, but only received one bid response, which was from Montana Lines, Inc. of Great Falls, who bid $37,505.00. Funding for this project is 90% from a federal grant, and 10% from fire impact fees. The amount budgeted for installation costs is $45,000.00. I recommend that you sign the attached agreement with Montana Lines, Inc. so that we may proceed with completing this project. The signed agreement should be returned to me. Please contact me if you have any questions.
