DATE: MAY 6, 2002
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT AND INCREASE TO THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TO FUND
INCREASES IN PURCAHSE ORDERS FOR TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND PLAN CHECK
SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve an increase of$25,000 in blanket purchase order
number 210676 for traffic signal maintenance and in crease of$20,000 in PO number 210920 for
plan check services. It is further recommended City Council approve an amendment to the 2002
Operating Budget for the Public Works Department recognizing $45,000 in funding from
collections revenue to fund these increases.
BACKGROUND
Purchase Order number 210676 is for the maintenance of the City's traffic signal system. The
purchase order covers routine as well as extraordinary maintenance(accidents and knock downs).
After each accident, the City typically recoups its costs associated with a knock down. However,
there usually is a time lag between the initial response to an accident and eventual reimbursement
by the insurance company of the at-fault driver.
In the meantime, accidents drain the existing balances in blanket purchase order accounts to the
point that we are not able to pay the vendors.
Purchase Order number 210920 is for outside plan check services. Developers fund this account
and no City funds are used. Due to high level of activity the current balance is drained and the
purchase limit needs to be raised. U
