7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The City of Orange upgraded to LED traffic signal indications (red, yellow and green) and
pedestrian modules as part of the Edison rebate program offered about 15 years ago to local
jurisdictions throughout Southern California. All 157 traffic signal controlled intersections are
operating with energy saving LED technology, however, these intersections are mostly the
original installations which have now far exceeded their useful life. Replacement of the
indications has generally occurred in a piecemeal fashion as resources became available.
Included in the FY 17 budget, the City is now funding a multi -year LED replacement program to
change out aged and failing indications to improve reliability and continuous traffic signal
operations.
To purchase the replacement LED indications, the City will be entering into a cooperative
purchasing agreement with the County of Riverside. The County of Riverside bid the purchase of
LED indications for their own replacement program, and awarded a contract to JTB Supply
Company, Inc. (JTB), the lowest responsive bidder. JTB is extending the prices to the City of
Orange with no additional costs or surcharges.
This first phase of the project will provide for the replacement of LED signal indications and
pedestrian indications at nineteen intersections. The labor required to complete the installation
will be bid and awarded by the City in a separate contract. The first phase of this project is
scheduled for completion by September 2017.
The City Council is authorized to approve the procurement of certain materials, supply, or
equipment pursuant to Section 3.078.290 of the Orange Municipal Code when the Purchasing
Officer authorizes the use of any agreement involving the acquisition of materials, supply, or
equipment through a cooperative purchasing provision with another government entity.
