Citywide Traffic Signal Communication System Upgrades - Project No HSIPSL-5081 (027)

The City of Escondido is undertaking a citywide upgrade to its traffic signal communication system under Project No HSIPSL-5081 (027), aimed at modernizing existing signal infrastructure to improve traffic flow, optimize signal timing, and enhance roadway safety. The project involves installing new traffic signal control equipment and communications hardware within existing signal cabinets and conduit systems throughout the city, along with deploying wireless radios to establish a secure connection between traffic signals and City Hall for centralized monitoring and control. All work is confined to already disturbed areas such as roadways and sidewalks, avoiding new construction or expansion of public facilities. The project is categorically exempt under CEQA Class 1, confirming its nature as a maintenance and minor upgrade effort. The place of performance is specified as San Diego, California, with work occurring citywide within Escondido’s boundaries. The agency responsible for administration is the City of Escondido’s Development Services Department, Engineering Division, with Craig Williams identified as the Project Manager for primary contact. There is no publicly listed contract value, delivery schedule, or payment terms, and no formal FAR clauses, evaluation factors, or special requirements such as bonding, insurance, or labor standards are detailed in the available documentation. No specific packaging, inspection criteria beyond CEQA compliance, or submission guidelines for proposals are provided, and no contracting officer, COR, or COTR has been named. The solicitation was posted on January 7, 2026, under a forecast classification, and while the NAICS code 237310 indicates a transportation infrastructure construction focus, the document lacks pricing, award methodology, or offeror certification requirements typically associated with formal procurement actions. The project represents a municipal effort to enhance traffic operations through infrastructure modernization using existing rights-of-way and minimal disruption.
