Denton approves pool of contractors for traffic‑signal construction, $7.1M not‑to‑exceed
Summary
Council approved awarding a qualifications‑based pool for traffic‑signal construction services to expand the city's ability to deliver signal projects; the not‑to‑exceed total over five years is $7.1 million. Vote was unanimous.
Development Services presented results of a qualifications solicitation for traffic‑signal construction services. Staff said the RFQ was distributed broadly (503 prospective suppliers) and four local firms qualified. The contract will allow the city to draw on a prequalified pool for six funded intersections and up to five additional intersections over five years; the aggregate not‑to‑exceed amount is $7.1 million.
Council asked questions about cost drivers for signals (complex foundations, interconnect wiring and technology), and staff noted the city may reuse an existing signal in at least one project to reduce cost. Council approved the award and authorization to execute contracts with the recommended firms with a 6‑0 vote.
