Recommendation
Authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with STC Traffic, Inc.
to provide on -call traffic signal operations services in an amount not to exceed $30,000 per year
and in such final form as approved by the City Attorney.
Background
The Engineering Department of the City of Lake Elsinore has a need for an on -call traffic signal
operations firm to perform specialized tasks with regards to traffic signal electrical operations
and traffic signal coordination. The need for these services is dependent on availability of signal
coordination projects and any signal operations issues that arise that may require their
expertise. The City has had an on -call traffic signal operations firm under contract for the past
several years.
Discussion
The City posted a Request for Proposal (RFP) to provide on -call traffic signal operations
services. The RFP was posted on the City's PlanetBids portal, and we received four (4)
respondents to the solicitation. After reviewing all four proposals, staff chose one candidate.
The proposals provided extensive information about the company's qualifications, personnel
availability, and experience providing traffic signal operations services. The final determination
was based on experience, local experience, and reference verifications. Although all the firms
are technically qualified, staff was able to select a single firm from the candidate pool.
The firm is new to the City. The firm will have a contract amount of not -to- exceed per fiscal year
as listed below.
• STC Traffic, Inc. - $30,000 annually

representatives, or Consultant's successor -in- interest.
9. Independent Contractor.
a. Consultant is and shall at all times remain as to the City a wholly
independent contractor pursuant to California Labor Code Section 3353. The personnel
performing the services under this Agreement on behalf of Consultant shall at all times be under
Consultant's exclusive direction and control. Neither City nor any of its officers, employees, or
agents shall have control over the conduct of Consultant or any of Consultant's officers,
employees, or agents, except as set forth in this Agreement. Consultant shall not at any time or
in any manner represent that it or any of its officers, employees, or agents are in any manner

Agreement, Consultant and any of its employees, agents, and subcontractors providing service
under this Agreement shall not qualify for or become entitled to, and hereby agree to waive any
claims to, any compensation, benefit, or any incident of employment by City, including but not
limited to eligibility to enroll in PERS as an employee of City and entitlement to any contribution
to be paid by City for employer contribution and /or employee contributions for PERS benefits.
10. PERS Eligibility Indemnification. In the event that Consultant or any employee,
agent, or subcontractor of Consultant providing services under this Agreement claims or is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement
System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of the City, Consultant shall
Page 4
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and /or employer
contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Consultant or its employees, agents, or
subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions,
which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.
11. Interests of Consultant. Consultant (including principals, associates and
professional employees) covenants and represents that it does not now have any investment or
interest in real property and shall not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, in the area covered
by this Agreement or any other source of income, interest in real property or investment which
would be affected in any manner or degree by the performance of Consultant's services
hereunder. Consultant further covenants and represents that in the performance of its duties
hereunder no person having any such interest shall perform any services under this Agreement.
Consultant is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act
because Consultant:
a. will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to his /her
rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel independent of the control and
direction of the City or of any City official, other than normal agreement monitoring; and
b. possesses no authority with respect to any City decision beyond rendition
of information, advice, recommendation or counsel. (FPPC Reg. 18700(a)(2).)
12. Professional Ability of Consultant. City has relied upon the professional training
and ability of Consultant to perform the services hereunder as a material inducement to enter into
this Agreement. Consultant shall therefore provide properly skilled professional and technical
personnel to perform all services under this Agreement. All work performed by Consultant under
this Agreement shall be in accordance with applicable legal requirements and shall meet the
standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent professionals in Consultant's field of
expertise.
13. Compliance with Laws.
a. Consultant shall comply with all local, state and federal laws and
regulations applicable to the services required hereunder, including any rule, regulation or bylaw
governing the conduct or performance of Consultant and /or its employees, officers, or board
members.
b. Consultant represents that it has obtained and will maintain at all times
during the term of this Agreement all professional and /or business licenses, certifications and /or
permits necessary for performing the services described in this Agreement, including a City
business license.
14. Licenses. Consultant represents and warrants to City that it has the licenses,
permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature which are legally required
of Consultant to practice its profession. Consultant represents and warrants to City that
Consultant shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect or obtain at all times during the term
of this Agreement, any licenses, permits, insurance and approvals which are legally required of
Consultant to practice its profession. Consultant shall maintain a City of Lake Elsinore business
license.
Page 5
15. Indemnity. Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its
officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability,
claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily
injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law
or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts
or omissions of Consultant or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they
could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation
of Consultant shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of
law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees,
agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Consultant or its employees, subcontractor, or agents
have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is
understood that the duty of Consultant to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend
as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance
certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Consultant from
liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold
harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance
policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Consultant
acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of
consideration.

with the following specific language:
i. Notwithstanding any inconsistent statement in any required

offered by all policies, except for Workers' Compensation, shall bear an endorsement
whereby it is provided that, the City and its officers, employees, servants, volunteers and
agents and independent contractors, including without limitation, the City Manager and

The consultant for this project must have extensive experience and knowledge in municipal support
services contracts, with specialized skill - practice in traffic operations. Intelligent Transportation Systems
(ITS) and traffic signal operations consulting is STC Traffic's forte. I started this firm over 13 years ago with
a vision for delivering specialized traffic operations and systems engineering skill and expertise to public
agencies in Southern California. Fast forward to today and successful execution of this vision has revealed
STC as a regional and statewide leader in traffic systems and operations, serving the needs of
municipalities in Riverside County / Inland Empire and the greater San Diego Region. We offer innovation
and state -of- the -art practice in traffic systems planning, design, construction, operation, and
maintenance.
STC is uniquely and highly qualified to provide these services and bring exceptional advantages to the City
of Lake Elsinore. STC has specialty expertise with the City's traffic systems including McCain's Transparity
ATMS and 233, 2033, and Omni eX local control software. We work with Econolite products in the NEMA
environment and various products in the 170 and 2070 ATC environments. As STC's principal -in- charge, I
will maintain supervisory involvement. Our project manager Mr. Nick Minicilli is well known to the City
and will lead our staff of professionals and be the City's contact on all matters. Our technical staff,
anchored by Mr. Adam Lemberg, IMSA III, have dozens of years of unique expertise working on the
manufacturer side of these systems and on the user -side operating the same systems for local agencies
throughout the Southern California Region.
STC has demonstrated our keen interest in serving the City's traffic operations and engineering needs. We
are currently producing the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 8 project to improve
traffic signal operations and safety at eight signalized intersections in the City. STC submitted twice on this
project: the first time we were the only bidder and the project was re- advertised; the second time we
were again the only bidder and received the award. Importantly, we negotiated our fee to deliver the
needed services within budget. This is a signature of STC's partnerships with client agency's: we
demonstrate interest at times when no one else does and we work with limited budgets and resources to
deliver the needed services at the greatest value.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This proposal presents the advantages STC Traffic (STC) provides to the City of Lake Elsinore for traffic
operations services. We are a uniquely qualified firm. STC's primary service provision is the municipal
"on- call" specialty services support contract in Traffic Engineering, Intelligent Transportation Systems, and
Traffic Operations. This proposal demonstrates our firm's keen knowledge and qualifications; highlighting
our experience, staff, understanding and approach to deliver on -call traffic operations consulting services
to the City.
1.1 Project Understanding
This on -call consultant procurement will provide Lake Elsinore the expert traffic operations resources and
capacity necessary to deliver high quality service to the community over the next three years. The City will
select one firm to provide on -call traffic operations services and for the past several years, this contract
has been held by Hartzog & Crabill Inc. As the contract has expired, this provides an opportunity for the
City to consider new consultants for this contract.
The firm selected for this contract will be responsible for assisting the City with a wide variety of traffic
engineering and traffic signal operations services. These include review, develop, test, implement and
maintain traffic signal timing and coordination plans; traffic signal communications; monitor the City's
traffic signal operations; design and develop improvement plans; plan checks, and other general traffic
engineering services.
The City of Lake Elsinore is one of the fastest growing cities in California with access to 1 -15, thousands of
homes planned for development, and available commercial and industrial land. The city maintains
approximately 190 miles of streets, owns 47 traffic signals and co -own 7 traffic signals with the City of
Wildomar. The traffic signals are maintained under contract by the Riverside County Transportation
Department. Traffic signals along State Route 74 (SR -74) and on freeway ramps are maintained by
Caltrans. With the acquisition of the SR -74, the city could inherit 15 more traffic signals. The City's traffic
signal system will experience significant growth over the next several years and this contract will help the
City meet the associated traffic operation needs.
Like many municipalities in Riverside County, much of the City's traffic signal system is antiquated and
lacks many ITS elements that are necessary to provide optimal traffic systems operation and management
in today's traffic environment. Most signals run free and have no coordination. The legacy controllers
consist of old generation Econolite ASC2 and 170E and these are no longer supported by manufacturers.
The City has implemented a Transparity ATMS that is wirelessly connected to 3 traffic signals and CCTV
feeds. The City is also implementing new ATC local controllers with Omni eX software.
STC currently maintains operations for several agencies in Riverside and San Diego County. We are experts
in both the legacy control and communications systems and the migration of these systems to the new
ATC platform. STC is currently designing and implementing Citywide signal system improvement projects
in Temecula, Hemet, and Menifee. These include new Traffic Management Centers, wireless and fiber
optic communication systems, and modern traffic controllers. Like Lake Elsinore's current Cycle 8 HSIP
project, the improvements for the neighboring cities are funded through grant applications.
Agencies depend on STC to manage the signal system and timing with the utmost care and expertise.
Many of our agency clients do not have a staff traffic engineer. When we are on the job, STC is in
responsible charge for planning, design, and implementation of traffic signal operation. Our agency clients
City of Lake Elsinore Engineering On -Call Traffic Operation Services Page 1 1
O�P
have the highest level of confidence in our work and we execute the work in a rigorous and exacting
manner. In our profession there is some latitude in approach to signal timing and coordination; however,
all approaches converge around CA -MUTCD compliance and standards of practice.
STC has invested in the software, equipment, and tools necessary to perform our work and to provide the
most valuable service possible to the City. Traffic signal operations require a unique combination of
expertise in standards, system equipment, programming, and, most importantly, the seasoned, on -the-
street know -how required to be competent inside the cabinet in real -time.
The implementation of reliable traffic systems and operations are critical for a growing city. A well -
managed and operating traffic signal system builds community confidence that the City can manage
growth. Our premier expertise, innovation, and responsiveness will ensure the City's signal system is
optimally operated as is, with guidance and recommendations to implement a state -of- the -art system.
1.2 COVID -19 Preparedness
In response to the COVID -19 pandemic, STC continues to adapt operations to support its clients in
delivering critical infrastructure projects during these challenging and uncertain times. STC has
transitioned to a secure "Cloud- based" system for communications and file sharing, which allows all our
staff to telework from home and while out in the field. STC has invested in the full Microsoft Office 365
suite, which includes using Microsoft Teams to conduct virtual meetings. We have also implemented
workplace safety protocols and training for our employees to promote best practices for physical
distancing and personal hygiene, use of Personal Protective Equipment while out in the field, daily
cleaning and disinfection of our office space and common areas, and daily employee health checks for
symptoms. Our number one priority is protecting our employees, clients, and the public.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK APPROACH
STC's general and technical approach, and project controls will clearly illustrate our ability to accomplish
the work. Our proposed approach is detailed below.
2.1 Management Approach
Traffic operations and systems projects are unique and merit a unique approach. This section briefly
describes STC's management approach and project controls to assist staff with adhering to scope,
schedule, and budget.
Project Initiation: Once City staff alerts STC of a potential task order, STC's project manager Mr. Nick
Minicilli will conduct an in- person or over the phone meeting with the key point of contact the City. If
necessary, Nick will meet City staff in the field to review the item on site. This meeting is designed to aid
the City in clearly conveying the concerns and issues that should be addressed in the pending task order.

O�P
Prepare Scope of Work and Fee Proposal: Nick Minicilli will prepare a detailed scope of work and fee
proposal for requested tasks. Nick will work directly with the City's project manager and other agencies,
consultants, and contractors to refine the scope of work. STC realizes
that City resources are limited. The purpose of the scoping process is
to develop a scope and fee that meets the intent of the project in the
most cost - effective manner possible. It will be Nick's responsibility to
track the hours committed to the task and ensure that the established
'lope budget is not exceeded. MaFee Developmen
Contracting: Nick Minicilli will work with the City's contracting
department to acquire the appropriate signatures and contract
ontracting
documents for each task. The City's standard contract documents
included in the RFP will be used for tasks.
Project Kick -Off,
ordination, and Schedule
Project Kick -Off, Coordination, And Schedule: Regular
communication between Nick Minicilli and the key point of contact at
hnical Analysis, Design
Review, Etc.
the City will be critical to maintaining the project schedule and to the
overall success of the project. Throughout the duration of the
contract, Nick will schedule regular check in meetings with City staff
QA /QC
to review all outstanding tasks. Nick will submit a baseline schedule
at the start of the project that will serve as the basis for monitoring
Project Delivery & Close -out
and controlling project activities to help decide how to use resources
O
to achieve time and cost goals. The baseline schedule will be
reviewed and approved by City staff. The schedule will be developed through Microsoft Project. Nick will
update the schedule through the completion of the task and will furnish a monthly project schedule
update to the City with sufficient detail to show the actual versus
scheduled progress on tasks and
subtasks.
Technical Analysis and Design: Tasks assigned to STC will be completed by staff who are familiar with the
City's policies and the applicable standards and guidelines. Through our practice we have developed signal
timing guidelines and standard operating procedures that our staff adhere to on all timing projects. As
applicable, the guidelines include nuance associated with agency preference. STC will provide professional
opinions, recommendations, reports and /or plans for traffic related issues and improvements.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA /QC): Work products delivered to the City will be reviewed
by engineers and project managers not directly involved in production or review of the project. Time to
review all work products will be built into the project schedule and will be clearly documented and
maintained by STC during the project. In addition to formal reviews of work products, Nick will conduct
over the shoulder reviews throughout the life of the task order. This hands -on project management style
provides assurance to the City that the work products in process are on -task and are in line with the scope
of work and pending deadlines. Plans prepared by STC are reviewed by our in -house Construction
Management team for constructability and errors.
Project Tracking and Deliverables: STC will maintain a detailed project spreadsheet of all active task
orders, as well as closed task orders and pending task orders. STC's project management team meets
weekly to review project progress and outstanding issues. During this time, we will internally coordinate
staffing and action items related to the active task orders with the City. This will be Nick's opportunity to
review work being conducted by our project management team and our staff.

STC will control all project documents and will provide deliverables and final file material to the City in
both paper and electronic format. STC will maintain project documents and data in an organized, logical
fashion and will be able to promptly retrieve and distribute project information. STC will provide progress
reports and invoices to the City at the end of each month. Upon completion of a task, STC will provide
the final documents, plans and reports to the City for their files.
2.2 Technical Approach
The RFP technical scope of work covers various services and deliverables that form a traffic engineering
and operations task. The following are the professional services per the RFP and our approach and
experience in completing similar work.
2.2.1 Application of Standards
At STC, each staff member takes pride in learning and implementing the codes,
regulations, and other requirements properly on projects. Our staff are involved in
preparing guidelines and agency and regulatory standards around the State. Our
design and signal timing projects utilize the standards and regulations contained in
the latest edition of CA -MUTCD and Caltrans Standard Plans and Specifications. STC
has reviewed traffic studies for cites in the Riverside County in compliance with the
Riverside County Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) Guidelines. We will also use City of
Lake Elsinore Traffic Impact Analysis guidelines and Standard Plans to guide our
reviews and production.
At STC, we consider ourselves industry leaders and pride ourselves on our
knowledge of current best practices and trends in the traffic industry. Many of our
staff are not only involved with industry organizations such as the Institute of

The most effective signal system balances the use of advanced technology with the applicable use of
traditional modes of operations such as time -of -day coordination. Integrating safe and reliable signal
timing solutions demands proven experience in utilizing the advanced features of traffic controller
software in challenging applications such as adaptive operations. STC has developed many timing plans
for highly specialized operations. STC discernibly understands the system limitations of controller
software and thoughtfully utilizes advanced timing parameters and strategies to achieve optimal arterial
system and intersection specific performance. Our team of engineers is equipped with the tools and
know -how to perform general traffic data collection and advanced performance analysis.
2.2.3 Traffic Signal Timing and Coordination Optimization
Review of Existing Conditions: STC will review the existing traffic conditions based on the existing
geometry, traffic volumes and signal timing. Traffic volumes will be collected, or recent traffic volumes
will be requested from the City. Existing roadway geometry, phase type and signal timing data will be
verified in the field. Data such as number and type of approach lanes, turn pocket length, crosswalk
distance, posted speed and lane add /drops will be collected. Traffic volume data will be collected for peak

periods on a typical weekday and if necessary, for weekend. Observations will be made in field for any
queuing and other operation issues. Signal timing will be uploaded from the controller in the field. Traffic
analysis model will be developed using the latest version of Synchro and based on the existing data. Traffic
model for each peak hour will be developed and calibrated to reflect the existing conditions.
Traffic Signal Timing Calculations: STC will follow the City's general
timing guidelines to calculate the base signal timing parameters. The
calculations will be based on field data and measurements and CA-
MUTCD standards. STC will organize the field measurements and
base signal timing calculations in a tabular format. Some of the base
signal timing parameter that will be calculated are as follows:
Minimum Green Time, Yellow Change Clearance, Red Clearance,
Walk Interval, and Pedestrian Clearance Interval.
Traffic Signal Optimization: STC will use the calibrated existing conditions Synchro model with updated
base signal timing parameter to optimize the signal timing. Signal timings for corridors currently operating
on coordination plan or proposed to be coordinated will be optimized to develop coordination plans. The
traffic counts, field review data, and model will be utilized to determine the optimal signal groupings,
cycle lengths, splits, and offsets. STC will develop time of day plans for all the peak period and the existing
traffic counts will be analyzed to determine the time of day schedule for the new lq�
coordination plans. dr Iteris
plans.
Testing, Field Implementation and Fine Tuning: STC has extensive experience in the traffic signal
controllers such as Econolite, Type 170 and 2070 and has each of the controllers in house. The proposed
signal timing will be bench tested in house prior to implementing in the field. The
finalized signal timing plans will then be inputted in the traffic controller at each
individual intersection. STC will observe the coordination plans in the field to ensure
operations are performing as intended. Adjustments to the signal timing will be made as
required to improve the signal operation. Any changes made in the field will be noted.
Once timing changes have been made and all comments addressed, STC will provide final
timing sheets to the City. STC will update the Synchro model with the final timing plans.

Menifee Active Transportation Plan, preparing the City's Systemic Safety Analysis Report, and providing
traffic signal communications design and operations services for the execution of the HSIP projects. We
are in the process of upgrading the City's traffic signal communications and operations infrastructure to
cutting edge technology and funded through grants. The following are brief descriptions of our work on
signal communications, operations, and other related work in Menifee.
Menifee HSIP Wireless Interconnect System. STC successfully wrote 2 HSIP Cycle 7 grants for the Eastside
and Westside Wireless Interconnect System Projects, securing over $1 million in federal funding for
installation of a citywide traffic communication. The goal of the HSIP project is to improve safety and
efficiency along Menifee's streets through traffic signal timing and coordination, equipment upgrades,
and monitoring systems. STC was later awarded the design contract for the citywide traffic
communication system project through an RFP process. The final design plans provide communication
and signal controller upgrades at all 62 signalized intersections throughout the City. The signals
communicate via wireless radios back to City Hall and the system will be managed from the traffic
management center (TMC) /emergency operation center (EOC), which was also designed by STC. STC is
responsible for inventorying and inspecting all existing traffic signal components. STC researched existing
traffic signal as- builts and conducted extensive field investigations to obtain a complete inventory of the
traffic signal equipment. The design work includes installation of radios, 2070 controllers, CCTV, UPS,
switches, routers, and related communication system elements. With the design plans, specifications, and
cost estimates for the project approved by the City, STC prepared all Caltrans E -76 forms for authorization
to proceed in accordance with the Local Assistance Procedures Manual. STC will provide construction
engineering, integration, and project close -out services. As part of construction engineering, STC will
develop and implement new timing sheets due to the new upgraded controllers. The existing 170E
controllers are being upgraded to a 2070 ATC controller with Omni software.
During design of the project, STC developed a concept to
install a Type 15 street light pole with sectoral antennas at
two different high points within the City to provide a more
secure and reliable wireless communication design. These
high points were on Eastern Water Municipal District
(EMWD) property. STC led the design and coordination
efforts to get poles installed on EMWD property as a
separate task order to avoid the complex Caltrans E -76 right -
of -way processing. STC also coordinated with the County of
Riverside to obtain the spare Type 15 poles at no cost to the
City, which saved out -of- pocket costs. The purpose of using the high points was to reduce the amount of
wireless failure points by avoiding a linear bussed point -to -point system and establishing a hub point -to-
multipoint system. This design will save the City on future maintenance and troubleshooting costs.
Newport Road & Scott Road Corridors Signal Operations Projects. The City recently commissioned STC
with two projects that involved developing coordination timing for the Newport Road and Scott Road
corridors. The overall goal of these projects involved reducing congestion along the corridors and
improving traffic operations to increase public safety and improve travel times. The projects included
coordination with the 1 -215 Caltrans on- and off - ramps. This involved extensive coordination efforts with
the City of Menifee and Caltrans. Data collection work also required coordination with the City, Caltrans,
and a count data subconsultant. Technical work included the development of the Synchro models;
determining corridor cycle lengths, splits, offsets, and time -of -day for the coordination plans; and bench -
testing, field - implementing, and preparing fine -tune adjustments based on field evaluations of the
operations. Additionally, STC provided communications integration and inspection services.

41 traffic signals along the Winchester Road, Rancho California Road, and Temecula Parkway corridors.
The project will implement new communications and traffic control systems that will modernize the City's
traffic signal system and provide infrastructure to traffic signals not currently connected. These systems
will provide consistent, reliable, and modern communications and control for more than one -third of the
City's traffic signal system on the most critical arterials in Temecula. The systems will enable proactive
traffic signal management including coordinated and adaptive traffic signal operations and response to
real time traffic conditions.
Ynez Road and La Paz Road Intersection & Signal Design and Operations. Development on Temecula
Parkway has necessitated a new traffic signal at Ynez Road and La Paz Road in the existing right -of -way.
The project also required pavement widening on La Paz road to accommodate the 3 travel lanes. STC was
responsible for design of all aspects of the intersection. STC provided engineering plans for the pavement
widening, along with preparing design plans for the new traffic signal and signage and striping plans. STC
also prepared an engineer's construction cost estimate. STC was later tasked with providing fiber optic

communication design services for the intersection, a pedestrian ramp, and with providing design services
during construction of the intersection.
HSIP Cycle 9 Signal Modification Improvements —
Permissive Left -Turn to Protected /Permissive Left -Turn.
Based on a successful grant application, the City
commissioned STC to prepare design plans, specifications,
and estimates (PS &E) for implementing protected -left -turn
phasing at 5 select intersections in the City. The project
supports the Temecula community's transportation safety
goals by reducing the number and severity of intersection
traffic accidents between permissive left turners and other
motorists, bicyclists, or pedestrians. STC is preparing traffic
signal modification plans, installation of new traffic signal
poles, mast arms, and controller equipment, and installation of ADA compliant pedestrian access.
Street Lighting Services. STC is working on a variety of street lighting tasks within the City. The City
recently shifted to LS3 for their lighting system, which means the City will own and maintain their street
lighting system. Because of this, the City has been working with STC to standardize the new street lighting
services for the City. Examples of our street lighting tasks include developing the City's Safety and Street
Lighting Guideline manual in order to ensure standardization of street lighting within the City; performing
all plan check reviews for street lighting design plans submitted to the City; performing electrical
inspections on street lighting systems for the City. STC will also train City maintenance staff in electrical
inspections and in the maintenance of the newly installed street light systems.

Flashing Yellow Signal Timing Operations. STC recently
completed special operation timing plans for flashing yellow
protective/ permissive left turns at two signalized intersections
in the City. The locations include Pyrite Street /Mission Boulevard
and Wineville Avenue /Landon Drive. STC developed the timing
plans and then programmed and tested the special left -turn
operation in the office prior to field implementation. During field
implementation, STC was fine -tuned the timing plans to ensure
the City was comfortable with the specialized flashing yellow
operation.
Limonite Coordination Timing Plans. STC developed signal coordination plans for nine signals along
Limonite Avenue in the City of Jurupa Valley, from Sumner Avenue to Wineville Avenue. STC uploaded the
existing timing plans from the signals in the field and monitored existing conditions to help determine
appropriate coordination timing and time -of -day plans. Synchro was used to develop the timing plans
during the design phase. After the plans were finalized, STC implemented the new timing plans into the
signal controllers and field verified the coordination to ensure intended operation.
