Title
Consideration of and action on authorization to purchase traffic signal detection cameras for five (5) intersections from Consolidated Traffic Controls, Inc. via HGAC contract #PE-05-21.
Body
Summary:
Over the years, the Public Works Department has been updating the technology at various traffic signal intersections. One of these updates is the installation of traffic detection cameras. The new technology alleviates underground wiring and provides staff with the ability to manage the system from laptops and the traffic cabinet. Transitioning from the current traffic loop system to a camera system will improve the reliability of the intersection. The camera system will eliminate concerns about the aging loop wire and enhance efficiency and capacity. This upgrade will improve the maintenance and time management for the traffic division.
This year we will be installing the detection cameras at the following locations:
-The intersection of East Blvd. @ Aaron St.
-The intersection of East Blvd. @ San Augustine St.
-The intersection of East Blvd. @ P St.
-The intersection of East Blvd. @ Pasadena Blvd.
-The intersection of Georgia Avenue @ 13th St.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
The quote received is for $21,080.00 per intersection for a total cost of $105,400.00. $115,000 is budgeted in the Capital Improvement Fund (090-405-49040) for this project.
Recommended action
Approve the purchase of traffic signal detection cameras for five (5) intersections via HGAC contract # PE-05-21 in the amount of $105,400.00.
