Title

Emergency Traffic Signal Controller Cabinet Replacement - Payment

 

History

On November 6, 2016, a two car accident within the intersection of 143rd Street and John Humphrey Drive caused major damage to the traffic light controller cabinet located at the intersection. 

 

The controller cabinet is critical to the proper flow of intersection traffic and contains the relevant components and circuitry necessary to control the traffic signals in the immediate area.

 

To facilitate this work, the Police Department immediately contacted the Village’s traffic signal electrical maintenance company, MEADE of McCook, Illinois to perform emergency repairs on the damaged controller cabinet.

 

The totally damaged cabinet was replaced with a new TS2 Eagle cabinet with full equipment.

 

On January 3, 2017, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referrred to the Board for approval.

 

Financial Impact

Funds needed to complete these repairs are available in the insurance fund, account 092-0000-452210.

 

Recommended Action/Motion

I move to approve the payment to MEADE of McCook, Illinois for the emergency replacement of the traffic signal controller cabinet at the intersection of 143rd Street and John Humphrey Drive for a not-to-exceed cost of $21,911.08.
