Traffic Signal Smart Technology

The City of Beaumont, California, is soliciting bids for the Traffic Signal Smart Technology Project under solicitation number 20260806001, with a response deadline of September 7, 2026. The work involves the complete installation and commissioning of advanced traffic signal systems including controllers, wireless modems, video detection systems, Ethernet switches, and associated wiring at four intersections, with optional alternate equipment bids available for two of those locations. All work must comply with Caltrans Standard Specifications, the 2025 Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, CA-MUTCD, and County of Riverside Ordinance 461, with contract documents taking precedence in case of conflicts. The project is performed at the designated site in Beaumont, and the contractor is responsible for all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and services necessary to complete the project without additional compensation. A detailed construction schedule must be submitted, and liquidated damages of $2,000 per day apply for delays beyond the contracted completion date. The contract requires the contractor to obtain encroachment permits from both the City of Beaumont and the City of Banning at no cost to the city, include all associated costs in the bid, and adhere to strict pre-construction documentation protocols including photographic and video Baseline records. Storage of materials or equipment within public right-of-way is prohibited, requiring the contractor to secure and pay for a separate staging area. The contractor must conduct monthly progress meetings, submit three-week look-ahead schedules, respond immediately to public complaints, and protect all existing utilities, landscaping, and vegetation, repairing any damage at their own expense. Technical requirements include color-coded conductor labeling, use of reflectorized traffic control signs, and submission of approved submittals, wiring diagrams, and vendor purchase orders. Payment is governed by monthly progress payments, final payment upon acceptance, and lien waiver requirements, though no specific remittance details or invoicing systems like WAWF are provided. The contractor must comply with prevailing wage laws, provide certified payroll records, maintain workers’ compensation insurance, and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. No formal evaluation factors, cost breakdowns, or award basis are outlined, and while the Solicitation Number and posting date are present, no contract value, unit pricing, or contract type are specified in the document.
