RECOMMENDATION That the City Council award a construction contract for Bid No. 7044 —MSRC Signal Interconnect Improvement Project, to Asplundh Construction Corporation, located in Cypress, California, in the amount of $165,490. BACKGROUND On August 24, 2010, the City Council approved three agreements with the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) to provide $337,560 in funding for a joint project between the cities of Riverside, Moreno Valley, Corona and the County of Riverside to coordinate the traffic signals along: • Alessandro Boulevard /Central Avenue between Day Street and Magnolia Avenue; • Market Street /Magnolia Avenue /Sixth Street between SR -60 and SR -91; and • Van Buren Boulevard between Orange Terrace Parkway and Jurupa Avenue. In addition to providing signal coordination improvements, the grant included establishing communications between the proposed Moreno Valley Traffic Management Center (TMC) and the City of Riverside's TMC. This project will install the necessary conduits, pull boxes and cabinets along Alessandro Boulevard between Old Highway 395 and Frederick Street to establish communications between the TMC's allowing the sharing of video links and adjustment of signal timing along Alessandro Boulevard (within each agency's jurisdiction) to provide optimal traffic progression. Under the agreement for the SCAQMD grant the City agreed to act as lead agency for the construction of the improvements within the City of Moreno Valley. 26 -1
