The inspection included the review of all 18 traffic control <br />systems that exist within the Elk River city limits. The signal systems were fully inspected fox condition <br />of paint, lights, equipment, and controls. In addition, the County staff provided us with a comprehensive <br />list of all signal agreements and a tabulation of who is responsible for the maintenance of each signal <br />system. As detailed in these signal agreements, the City of Elk River is responsible for the painting of <br />most of the systems. Through our review of the paint rating contained in the inspection reports, we are <br />recommending painting four (4) full systems in 2011. We have gathered quotes to have the following <br />signal systems painted: <br />^ TH 169 and 197x'' Avenue <br />^ TH 169 and 193`d Avenue <br />^ TH 169 and School Street <br />^ School Street and Freeport Avenue <br />The remaining signal systems with conditions that require painting will be completed in 2012 as <br />scheduled in the Capital Improvement Plan. <br />If this work is approved by the City Council, staff will work with the contractor and the Minnesota <br />Department of Transportation (MNDOT) on a schedule for the work. We will assure the painting of the <br />signal systems along TH 169 will not be completed during the same time period as the TH 169 bridge <br />work planned for this summer. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />The two quotations received for the work are summarized as follows: <br />Aerial Painting, Inc. $30,700.00 <br />OLS Restoration, Inc. $24,982.00 <br />N:\Public Bodies\City Council\Council RCA\Agenda Packet\05-02-2011\Signal Painting RFA.docx <br />
