RESOLUTION #2021-38
Approving purchase of two additional Flashing Beacons for School Crosswalk
WHEREAS, The City of Monticello purchased two pedestrian crossing beacons to assist with the school/trail crosswalk at the High School/ Middle School complex to cross Oak Street in September 2020, according to the IDOT design standards, and
WHEREAS, The IDOT has since modified their design standards related to the flashing beacons. In 2020, the flashing beacons were only required on one side of each lane of traffic. The IDOT design standards for Flashing Beacons now require the flashing beacon portion of the signage to be installed on both sides of both lanes of traffic, and
WHEREAS, The proposed quote from Mobotrex to purchase of flashing beacons without installation is $1,186.00, and
WHEREAS, the Police Department staff will be able to install the flashing beacons to the existing equipment, at no additional cost, and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Monticello, Iowa does hereby approve of the purchase of flashing beacon equipment, as quoted to bring the two pedestrian crossing beacons at the High School/ Middle School complex to cross Oak Street into IDOT required design standards.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto. Done this 15th day of March, 2021.
