signals:
1. Culver Blvd. and Lafayette Ave.

Staff is recommending that the City Council approve a purchase order with JTB Supply
Co, Inc. in the amount of $9,774.98 for forty-two countdown pedestrian signal LED
heads.
The City Council’s approval is required because staff approved other purchases from
JTB Supply Company, Inc., and this purchase would cause the cumulative amount to
exceed the administrative authority limit of $10,000. Competitive bidding is not required
because the cost of the equipment is less than $20,000. The pedestrian signal heads
will be installed by Public Works Maintenance operations staff within one month after
the material is delivered.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
The project is funded entirely by a Community Development Block Grant ($11,440,
Account No. 42800887) obtained through the County of Los Angeles Community
Development Commission. This project was approved by the City Council on January
2007 and approved in the Fiscal Year 2007/08 budget.
MOTIONS:
That the City Council:
1. Approve the purchase of forty-two (42) countdown pedestrian signals from JTB Supply
Co, Inc. in an amount of $9,774.98; and,
2. Authorize the City Attorney to review/prepare the necessary documents and
authorize the City Manager to execute such documents on behalf of the City.
