ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 6.5
TO: Mayor and Town Council July 7, 2020
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 53-2020, approving a contract for traffic control for
downtown street closures
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On June 25, 2020, the Town Council adopted Resolution No. 50-2020, authorizing the closure
of Hartz Avenue every Friday to Sunday through the end of August 2020. These closures
will allow restaurants and retailers to utilize the street for additional seating and display of
merchandise in compliance with state and county requirements for social distancing due to
the COVID-19 pandemic.
In order to ensure the safety of these closures for all members of the public, it is necessary
to retain a company which can provide both the labor for weekly set up and take down and
all of the necessary traffic control devices. Town staff has determined that Statewide Safety
Systems is best qualified to provide these services. The amount of the proposed contract to
cover all of the approved closures is $35,000.
