title
Approval of Change Order No. 6, Purchase Order M114321, Rental of Three Solar-Assisted Trailers and Remote Monitoring System, with Horizon Signal Technologies Inc., in the amount of $78,750, for a revised total of $221,083.28.

body
PROCUREMENT:
This change order will extend the lease of the equipment from September 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026, to accommodate the estimated time required for safety and operational needs. Since Schofield Road was opened to traffic into Lake County, there has been a significant increase in semitruck and commuter traffic at this intersection. To address these concerns, the Boyd Development Group is currently constructing a Mast Arm Signal. The rental of the portable signal will continue until the permanent signal installation is complete. The solar-assisted trailers provide signalized traffic control at the intersection of Avalon Road and Schofield Road. Prior to the installation of the trailers, Schofield Road had only a stop condition, while Avalon Road operated as a through movement. The signalized traffic control now ensures safer and more efficient movement through the intersection. The remote monitoring system notifies the vendor of any potential issues with the trailers, prompting a timely response.

Funding is available in account number 1004-072-2720-3610.
