COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
FROM: Bill Young, Transportation and Maintenance Services Superintendent
SUBJECT:Title
Approve Cooperative Purchase Agreement and Cooperative Purchase of Video Detection Systems Required from Iteris, Inc. (Bill Young)
Body
FUNDING SOURCE:
Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF)
PURPOSE:
Approve Cooperative Purchase Agreement (500474) with Iteris, Inc., in accordance with City Code §§3.10.010.3(A)(1) and 3.10.030.1.
BACKGROUND:
Iteris, Inc., manufactures and sells video detection systems that are compatible with the rest of the City’s traffic signal equipment. These video detection systems improve traffic flow and remove the detection loops from the asphalt. The video detection systems consist of cameras, sensors, a controller, and various other components that allow our Transportation Specialist to remotely monitor traffic signals as well as diagnose and fix signal issues quickly. The system also gives the City the ability to perform traffic counts at the intersection where they are installed eliminating the need to physically place traffic counters. The City currently has 15 traffic signals with another one coming online soon. The Streets Division is working to upgrade and standardize the traffic signals, and this will be the first step in carrying this goal out. The Division is looking to add three video detection systems to traffic signals each year.
It is anticipated that the total cost for these systems and related purchases for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 will be approximately $60,000.
COMMUNITY IMPACT:
The installation of the video detection systems will provide safety enhancements and upgrade existing infrastructure for three traffic signals. The three traffic signal upgrades will take place at the intersections of Industrial Boulevard and Lake Havasu Avenue, Riviera Boulevard and McCulloch Boulevard, and South Palo Verde Boulevard and Acoma Boulevard.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding in the amount of $60,000 is available and allocated in the Highway User Revenue Fund’s (HURF) FY 2023-24 budget for this project.
