SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Summary Recommendation

Authorize the purchase and delivery of traffic signal equipment to upgrade an additional seven intersections throughout the City to communicate with the City’s Intelligent Transportation System, utilizing Maricopa County contract to Econolite, Anaheim, California for an expenditure of $214,758.10 (Engineering-CPA-25-289) (David Wostenberg/Robin R.

end

 

STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

Awarding this contract meets the desired outcome of Safe and Prosperous and Respected and Responsible by optimizing signal timing as it will reduce pollution, revenue loss, and traffic accidents.  It also meets the Connected and Engaged desired outcome by evaluating real-time traffic conditions and optimizing traffic based on the ever-variable roadway conditions (e.g. construction, time of year, accidents, etc.).

 

 

REPORT:

The City recently developed an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Strategic Plan, ITS Infrastructure Plan, and Transportation Management Center (TMC) Concept of Operations. The City is acquiring equipment needed to upgrade an additional seven intersections throughout the City. The additional intersections to be added to the ITS network are as follows: 32nd Street and Catalina Drive, 32nd Street and Arizona Avenue, 32nd Street and Avenue 7E, 32nd Street and Avenue 8E, 24th Street and Avenue C, 24th Street and Kennedy Lane, and 24th Street and Pacific Avenue. The City of Yuma Public Works staff will install all the located within the existing Traffic Signal Cabinets.

The City has the largest number of traffic signals and other traffic management equipment within the Yuma region but does not have the ability to monitor or actively operate the network remotely. There could be significant safety, efficiency, and public relations benefits if the City Engineering Department staff had the ability to monitor and operate traffic signals and other ITS devices in real-time from a centralized location. An ITS will allow for this centralization and real-time operations for the City of Yuma network.  The implementation of an ITS is a strategy to elevate the City’s ability to operate and manage a safe and efficient transportation network.
