Analysis
This Price Agreement is for the purchase of Preformed Speed Cushions. Designed and used as traffic calming devices, speed cushions are generally used in locations where low speeds are desired and suitable for the surrounding traffic environment. Speed cushions are used only on residential streets throughout the City and are not for use on major roadways, bus routes, or primary emergency response routes. The speed cushions are made from recycled rubber tires and are maintenance free. They are secured to the road with anchors and bolts making them easy to remove and reinstall as necessary.
Notice of bid #20056 was advertised in the Fort Worth Star Telegram and Bid Sync; it was distributed to 25 vendors. There was one Grand Prairie vendor available for this commodity. One bid was received as shown on attachment A.
The low bid received from Traffic Logix meets specifications and is recommended for award.
