BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City’s existing traffic control network equipment was last replaced in FY 2019. The equipment was purchased with a five-year warranty/support that will expire in the coming months. In order to keep this critical infrastructure under warranty and to take advantage of the latest changes in networking technology, the City is proposing to replace the existing equipment. This purchase will provide the city with faster networking capabilities and up-to-date technology and will include the same five years of support as previously purchased. This equipment is necessary for efficient traffic signal operations and monitoring.
Funds were approved in Proposition A of the 2023 bond for the Citywide Intersection Improvements Project, which included these technology upgrades. GTS Technologies has provided a quote of $258,258.75 through a Department of Information Resources (DIR) cooperative contract, which satisfies the competitive procurement requirements.
