A Resolution Approving a Professional Services Agreement with Iteris, Inc. for a Traffic Signal Communication Network Audit in an Amount not to exceed $69,500, Authorizing its Execution, and Waiving the Village's Request for Proposal Process for the Agreement
end
Introduction
overview
The Engineering Division requested a proposal from Iteris to provide an audit of the existing traffic signal communication network and develop recommendations for improvements to the communication system in order to maximize the performance of the signal system and allow for future improvements. The Engineering Division did not issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for this work as the work is specialized in nature and requires a consultant that is both familiar with communications networks and traffic signal hardware and software systems. Iteris is uniquely qualified for this work and has worked on multiple Village signal systems as a subconsultant and has the best knowledge of the existing system.

Background
The Village's traffic signals are all interconnected with fiber optic cables, most of which date back to the early 2000's, using older technology called multi-mode cable. This older cable and associated equipment are extremely slow and limit staff's ability to monitor and manage the traffic signal system. This older technology also does not support current traffic signal technologies for video detection and data capturing from newer detection systems, which limits the ability to utilize newer technologies.
This project includes providing an audit of the existing traffic signal communication network to inventory the existing equipment and develop recommendations for improvements so that the communication system can support the traffic signals and allow for the implementation of various improvements over time, suc...
