Council awards up to $200,000/year on‑call contract to UNIX LLC for traffic‑signal and street‑lighting work
Summary
Garden Grove approved a professional services agreement with UNIX LLC for on‑call traffic‑signal and street‑lighting maintenance and repair, not‑to‑exceed $200,000 per year with an option to extend up to four additional years; council vote was 6–0.
Public Works Director Sam Kim asked the council to approve an on‑call services agreement with UNIX LLC to supplement city staff for traffic‑signal and street‑lighting maintenance. Kim said the division manages roughly 140 traffic signals, about 840 street lights and 30 miles of underground fiber, and that emergency events can exceed staff capacity. Staff received four proposals and recommended UNIX LLC as the most qualified; the negotiated agreement is up to $200,000 per year "as needed" with an option to extend for four additional years. Kim said the city’s typical annual expenditure has been about $100,000–$150,000 and that UNIX has served the city previously.
Councilmembers asked how the not‑to‑exceed amount would be tracked; staff confirmed they will report back on actual expenditures and present annual usage to the Council. The motion to award the contract passed 6–0.
Funding for the agreement was described as included in the engineering operational budget; no supplemental appropriation was requested during the meeting.
