SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION RATIFYING AN EMERGENCY CONSTRUCTION
CONTRACT IN THE AMOUNT OF $31,129.72, TO MORTON ELECTRIC,
INC., FOR PROJECT NO. 25-110, NORTHERN AND PRAIRIE
TEMPORARY SPAN WIRE SIGNAL, AND APPROVING THE
PURCHASING AGENT'S EXECUTION OF SAME
SUMMARY:
This Resolution ratifies and approves the award of an Emergency Construction Contract
to Morton Electric, Inc., for Project No. 25-110 Northern and Prairie Temporary Span
Wire Signal.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The project included the equipment, labor, materials and rented materials for the
installation of a temporary span wire signal across Northern Avenue. This project was
done as an emergency following a traffic accident. A vehicle crash occurred at the
intersection of Northern Avenue and Prairie Avenue on December 1, 2025. One of the
vehicles involved struck the traffic signal pole, causing it to fall down. The City did not
have the ability to replace the signal in house, so Morton Electric, Inc., was contacted to
provide the emergency repair. Prior to this work, Morton Electric, Inc. was awarded a
contract to replace the signals with the City of Pueblo as part of a grant from CDOT,
Northern and Prairie Trail Phase 3.
The prevailing factor for sole source justification is the signal was inoperable. The bolts
holding the vertical signal pole to the roundabout were sheared off and the entire caisson
shifted. In addition, the signal pole, mast arm, signage, signals and wiring were all
damaged, leaving the signal inoperable and required emergency repair. Temporarily,
this intersection was set up as a four-way stop, using temporary traffic measures;
however, the four-way stop was not a good solution long-term.
The Resolution ratifies the Emergency Construction Contract that was awarded to
Morton Electric, Inc.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding in the amount of $31,129.72 will be paid from Project Account HUAN02, Street
Signals.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
Not approve this Resolution, but this would require a finding that there was not an
emergency condition.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
