Joynes, Sr., City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: Sue Polka, Public Works Director/City Engineer <br /> <br />SUBJECT: School Zone Signs <br /> <br /> <br />Requested Action <br /> <br />Authorize the purchase and installation of two speed display signs for the CR E2 school zone <br />from in the amount of $18,250.00. <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />At the January City Council work session, staff presented a school zone sign option (Attachment <br />A) for the school zone adjacent to Valentine Hills Elementary School (Attachment B). This sign <br />states that the lower speed limit is in effect when the sign is flashing and registers the speeds of <br />the cars only during that specific school zone time. If a car is going over the speed limit the <br />actual speed limit flashes as well to alert the driver of a violation. During non-school zone times, <br />the lights do not flash and the speed does not display. This sign is more effective in that it is <br />only operating during school times and catches the driver’s attention for that specific reason. <br /> <br />Staff has received quotes for purchase and installation of the signs. WSB provided a quote in the <br />amount of $10,500.00 for the signs (Attachment C). This amount includes the display, solar kit, <br />and operational training for staff. Staff is recommending approval of Safety Signs to complete <br />the installation, which includes pedestal pole and base, pole foundations, speed zone signage, <br />and labor in the amount of $7,500.00 (Attachment D). A second quote for the installation was <br />received in the amount of $8,625.00. The total amount for the recommended school zone <br />installation is $18,250. Funding is available in the Streets Operating Budget. <br /> <br /> <br />Attachment A: School Zone Sign <br />Attachment B: Sign Location <br />Attachment C: WSB Quote for Display <br />Attachment D: Safety Signs Quote for Installation <br /> CONSENT ITEM – 5F <br /> <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br />
