Title
Traffic Signal Equipment Repair on 94th Avenue & Sunrise Lane Following Vehicle Accident - Payment and Proposal
History
On August 14, 2018, the Orland Park Police Department responded to an accident involving two vehicles and traffic signal equipment at the intersection of 94th Avenue and Sunrise Lane. The traffic signal control box and all contents were irreparably damaged. Additionally, the traffic signal mast arm pole was struck. Meade Electric, the village’s traffic signal maintenance contractor also responded to the accident scene. Meade patched the equipment temporarily to restore limited function.
Subsequently, Meade installed a permanent replacement cabinet (including signal controller equipment) at a cost of $14,203. Emergency vehicle preemptive equipment was also replaced at a cost of $2,235. Additionally, the mast arm pole adjacent to the cabinet is damaged and leaning and will require replacement. The cost of this pole replacement is $11,975. The total cost of all repairs is $28,413. As is the standard process for accidental damages to village infrastructure, the village will seek reimbursement for the equipment replacement costs from the drivers’ insurance companies.
On September 17, 2018, this item was reviewed by the Public Works Committee and recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
Funds are available in the village’s insurance account 092-0000-452210 for these repairs.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the invoices and proposal from Meade Electric of McCook, Illinois, for the replacement of traffic signal equipment at the intersection of 94th Avenue and Sunrise Lane for the amount not to exceed $28,413.00.
