Since the Traffic Management Center staff currently uses Econolite Centracs for the traffic signal operating system, and the Board designated Econolite as sole source for that system on November 15, 2016, we are requesting the Board waive the requirement for bids for the TMC system upgrade at a cost of $256,302. The Econolite Advanced CCTV module can be added to the update of the Econolite Centracs system currently being used for our traffic signal operating system. This allows the integration of the visual operation within the Centracs system that a separate standalone system would not allow. Additionally, Econolite has shown excellent reliability over the years and has provided prompt service when necessary. The camera control software utilized in the Centracs system is a well-known security system used throughout the security industry. FUNDING Funding for the upgrades to the Traffic Management System in the amount of $246,276 is programmed in the 2019-2020 CIE and will be expensed to Traffic Impact Fees/District I, II and III, account #'s 10215141-066510-20008, 10215241-066510-20008 and 10215341-066510-20008. The training expense in the amount of $10,026 will be charged to 11124541-033490 Transportation/Traffic Engineering/Other Contractual Services. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners waive the requirement for bids for the TMC upgrade, at a cost of $256,302, and declare Econolite Systems as the County's sole source provider for any subsequent maintenance, repair and upgrade of the Centracs Advanced CCTV module, video wall monitors and associated hardware and software related to the TMC . Staff also recommends the Board authorize the Purchasing Division to issue Purchase Orders for the Econolite Centracs System, associated equipment and software, as needed.
