Council approves $86,350 contract not to exceed amount to replace traffic signal poles at Precinct Line and Martin Drive
Summary
Council authorized capital replacement of signal poles, wiring and vehicle detection equipment at the Precinct Line Road and Martin Drive intersection with a bid not to exceed $86,350, including a 10% contingency.
The Hurst City Council authorized the city manager to proceed with capital replacement of traffic signal support poles, related signal equipment and vehicle‑detection upgrades at the intersection of Precinct Line Road and Martin Drive, approving a not‑to‑exceed amount of $86,350 that includes a 10% contingency.
City staff said the intersection has worn and damaged poles and an interlocal maintenance agreement dating to February 2002. Clayton described a corner with a compromised pole and said contractors were reluctant to perform piecemeal repairs because of concerns about adjacent poles failing. Staff recommended full replacement, wiring upgrades and enhanced vehicle detection to address safety complaints at the intersection.
The work was to be performed by Ed’s Electric under the authorization; staff included a 10% contingency in the not‑to‑exceed figure. A council member moved to authorize the city manager to proceed and the council approved the motion by voice vote; no roll‑call tally was provided in the transcript excerpt.
