�Y <br />I <br />CONSENT <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />THROUGH: John A. Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator <br />FROM: Richard B. Szpyrka, P.E., Public Works Director <br />SUBJECT: Traffic Monitoring System Technology Update Project <br />FDOT Project Funding Agreement <br />DATE: May 19, 2023 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />Indian River County has a Traffic Signal Maintenance Compensation Agreement (TSMCA) with the Florida <br />Department of Transportation (FDOT) to receive compensation for maintenance of FDOT traffic signals within <br />Indian River County. The TSMCA includes maintenance of vehicle detection camera systems (detection systems). <br />Several of the FDOT detection systems maintained by Indian River County are end of life with replacement parts <br />no longer available. <br />Detection systems currently in use experience detection issues from glare, shadows, and dirty camera lenses. <br />Camera cleaning is typically performed on a quarterly basis and more frequently at intersections near the coast. <br />The County has recently installed Forward Looking Infrared Radar (FLIR) cameras. The FLIR cameras do not <br />have the issues experienced with the existing detection systems. <br />At the County's request, FDOT added a project in their work program to fund the County's replacement of several <br />detection systems. FDOT funding will allow the replacement of detection systems at nine intersections. The County <br />intends to purchase the cameras using the FDOT Traffic Equipment Agency Term Contract. The detection systems <br />will be installed by County Traffic Division staff. The County will be reimbursed by FDOT for the cost of the <br />detection systems. Intersections along the coastline were selected for replacement as the existing detection systems <br />at these locations require more frequent cleaning. The new FLIR detection systems will reduce the frequency of <br />camera cleaning which in turn will reduce false detection from glare and shadows. <br />FUNDING <br />Current funding of $225,000 is available in Optional Sales Tax/Traffic Camera Replacement Program - <br />Account #31521441-066510-21015. <br />Account Name <br />Account Number <br />Amount <br />Optional Sales Tax/Traffic Camera Replacement <br />Program <br />31521441-066510-21015 <br />$225,000 <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached State Highway System Project <br />Funding Agreement with the FDOT for $225,000 and adopt the attached resolution authorizing the Chairman <br />to execute the same. <br />Attachments: Traffic Monitoring System Technology Update Resolution <br />State Highway System Project Funding Agreement — Traffic Monitoring System Technology <br />Update <br />Agenda Item for June 6. 2023 <br />85 <br />
