Cooperative Purchase Agreement: Intelligent Transportation System/Traffic Signal Equipment
end
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Summary Recommendation
Authorize the Purchase and Delivery of traffic signal equipment needed for a functioning Intelligent Transportation System on four roadway corridors: 16th Street Corridor (from Pacific Ave to Avenue C), 4th Ave Corridor (from 1st Street to 32nd Street), Avenue B Corridor (from 8th Street to 32nd Street), and 24th Street Corridor (from Arizona Avenue to Avenue B) to Econolite - Anaheim, California utilizing Maricopa County Contract (200125-C) for an expenditure of $501,670.64 (Engineering) (Dave Wostenberg)
end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
Awarding this contract meets the strategic outcomes of Safe and Prosperous and Respected and Responsible by optimizing traffic signal timing. It also meets the Connected & 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:
Recently, the City developed an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Strategic Plan, ITS Infrastructure Plan, and Transportation Management Center (TMC) Concept of Operations. The City is acquiring ITS sensors, video and equipment needed for multiple intersections on the following four corridors: 16th Street, 4th Avenue, Avenue B, and 24th Street. Public Works staff will install the equipment in the Traffic Signal Cabinets. A separate contract will be utilized with Westmoor Electric for installing the Vehicle Detection Cameras at each intersection that does not already have them.
The City of Yuma 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 its network remotely. There should be significant safety, efficiency, and public benefits if the City Engineering Department staff has 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 increase the City’s ability to operate and manage a safe and efficient transportation network.

FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT:
This project will be using funding received from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to make necessary improvements in the City of Yuma’s Infrastructure.
What is ARPA: The federal government signed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) into law on March 11, 2021. The program provides support to local governments in responding to the economic and public health impacts of COVID-19 and to mitigate impacts on local communities. All expenditures must comply with U.S. Department of Treasury requirements. Recipients must obligate the funds by December 31, 2024, and spend them by December 31, 2026.
On April 6, 2022, City Council adopted Resolution R2022-012 that approved the City’s ARPA Project List, which outlines the City’s intended uses for the funds. This project was one of the originally adopted ARPA funded in the FY 2023 City Council approved budget.
