Approval of Vendor Agreements, with Qfree in the Amount of $170,600 and AM Signal Hardware in the Amount of $397,434, for Adaptive Traffic Signal Control - Downtown Project
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Public Works requests approval of contracts with two vendors for the Downtown Adaptive Signals Control Project. These contracts involve deploying adaptive signal control and multimodal detection technology in the Downtown area. The contract with Qfree for Adaptive signal control is for $170,600.96, and the contract with AM Signal Hardware for multimodal detection is for $397,434.50.
Adaptive signal control technology monitors traffic in real time and automatically adjusts signal timings to accommodate changing traffic patterns in real time. Multimodal detection technology improves service at intersections with the ability to detect multiple road users such as vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists.
