21 traffic control signals as submitted by Meade Electric Company of McCook, Illinois for an
amount not to exceed $30,701.
Background
In 2016, the Village Board approved a three (3) -year contract with Traffic Control Corporation (TCC) of Woodridge,
Illinois to supply Emergency Vehicle Priority (EVP) system equipment. The detectors LED (light emitting diode)
beacons, and cabinet cards at all 57 signalized intersections in the Village are to be upgraded as part of the Community
Investment Program.
The original schedule foresaw 19 intersections being upgraded each year beginning in 2016. However, because of
favorable prices from TCC and the electrical contractors who installed the equipment, the Village was able to upgrade
30 intersections in 2016.
The goal for 2017 is to complete the upgrades at the remaining 27 intersections. The contract with TCC locks in the
same 2016 prices for materials. Staff is satisfied with the materials installed last year and has purchased the necessary
equipment from TCC to complete this year's work. Attached is a map depicting proposed work areas.
Six (6) of the 27 intersections to be upgraded with new EVP equipment are at Village -maintained traffic signals. The
Village's maintenance contractor, H & H Electric Company, will be performing the work as part of our current contract.
The maintenance work at these six (6) intersections only involves replacing old equipment in the exact same
arrangement as currently exists.
The remaining 21 intersections to be upgraded with new EVP equipment are at IDOT and County -maintained traffic
signals. A separate contract, as requested below, is necessary to perform the installation.
Staff is confident we can complete the upgrades to the entire EVP system within this year's budget, one (1) year ahead
of schedule and approximately $150,000 under budget.
Installation Proposal
A majority of the work at the 21 IDOT and Cook County -maintained traffic signals will involve simple replacement of old
EVP equipment. However, at a few intersections work will involve relocating equipment and pulling new underground
wiring. In addition, at one (1) intersection work will involve installing EVP equipment where none currently exists. To
facilitate this work, Staff solicited proposals from three (3) area contractors experienced with the maintenance of traffic
signals and installation of EVP equipment at IDOT and County intersections. All three (3) contractors provided costs to

install EVP equipment at the 21 intersections in 2017. The results are summarized below and detailed in the attached
installation cost proposals.

The lowest cost proposal submitted is from Meade Electric Company of McCook, Illinois. Meade Electric has provided a
proposal to install EVP equipment at 21 intersections in the amount of $27,910.50. The proposal includes the expected
costs to install the EVP equipment, additional unforeseen cable replacement costs that may be encountered during
construction, and costs associated with securing IDOT and Cook County permits.
The primary reason for the low cost proposal compared to the other two contractors is because Meade Electric currently
maintains IDOT and Cook County traffic signals. Meade Electric has a distinct advantage because they are IDOT's and
Cook County's electrical maintenance contractor. If another contractor were to install the EVP equipment, they would
be required to take over maintenance of each intersection during construction.
Prior to starting work, the owner (IDOT or County), Village, current maintenance contractor (Meade Electric), and EVP
installation contractor would perform a detailed inspection of the traffic signal, pedestrian signal, and EVP systems.
During construction the contractor would be responsible to restore any outages or damage, including knockdowns at
their expense. And at the end of the work, the same group would perform another inspection before turning
maintenance back over to the owner. Costs for this time-consuming process would be included in each proposal except
for Meade Electric. Should Meade Electric perform the EVP equipment installation, a pre- and post -inspection would not
be required, traffic signal repairs would be paid through their maintenance contract with the owner (IDOT or County),
and a construction bond would not have to be posted to the owner. All of these associated costs would not be incurred
by Meade Electric regardless if the intersection work requires a permit.
Meade Electric has performed extensive traffic signal maintenance and construction work in the Village over the years
including EVP installation in 2016. Their workmanship has been acceptable. Staff anticipates work to commence in
September with final completion by mid-October.
Staff recommends including a 10% contingency in the award for this project in order to accommodate quantity
variances or unforeseen site circumstances. In this instance, a 10% contingency would increase the contract award to
$30,701.00 ($27,910 base price + $2,791 contingency).
Alternatives
1. Accept lowest cost proposal to install emergency vehicle priority system equipment.
2. Action at discretion of Village Board.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Village Board accept the lowest cost proposal to install emergency vehicle priority system
equipment on 21 traffic control signals as submitted by Meade Electric Company of McCook, Illinois for an amount not
to exceed $30,701.
