Background:
The county needs a means to purchase traffic signal poles to replace existing poles as maintenance needs dictate. Currently, Public Works has minimal stock of mast arm signal poles. Staff engaged Millerbernd Manufacturing Company, who is the sole source signal steel supplier in Minnesota, to purchase these materials.
Staff is seeking the county board's authorization to enter into a contract with Millerbernd Manufacturing Company to procure traffic signal poles for maintenance replacements, because the total purchase price exceeds the annual allowable limits of $250,000 for a sole source supplier.
Funding for the purchase of signal equipment is available in Public Works Fund 10.
Current Request: This request seeks authorization to execute Contract No. CM00001439 with Millerbernd Manufacturing Company to purchase signal equipment during the period August 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027, at an estimated cost of $2,000,000.
Impact/Outcomes: These installations will support the county's Mobility 2040 goals, climate action, and disparity reduction efforts by improving accessibility, mobility, and safety for multimodal transportation.
