Introduction
overview
The Village of Oak Park’s Traffic Signal Controller Cabinet system is a critical component of the Village’s traffic signal network, providing electrical supply, timing functions, and automation hardware for the operation of traffic signals. These control cabinets require ongoing maintenance to ensure compliance with current electrical codes and IDOT standards, and are necessary to maintain system reliability and standardization. Work was scheduled and completed on Harvey and Lake and upon further review of two other Traffic Signal Cabinet Controllers have run into significant trouble and would benefit the Village of Oak Park for total replacement of cabinet. In order to complete this work timely, it is recommended to enter into a new agreement with the Village’s current vendor for the work completed at Harvey and Lake. They have the ability to quickly source and replace these two cabinets.
