Title
Purchase of Naztec Streetwise Software Upgrade (B)
This item involves a purchase of a software upgrade package for the City's Traffic Management System in the amount of $40,000.
Explanation
The City currently utilizes Naztec Streetwise Lite Software in our Traffic Management System. To continue to meet the needs of the system in conjunction with the current expansion on S.R. 26 & 26A, we have to upgrade our software. Naztec is the developer and distributor of the software and is the only vendor from which the software can be purchased. No other vendor or company provides an upgrade to Full Streetwise from Streetwise Lite.
Fiscal Note
The funding for this purchase is available in the Public Works Department FY 06 operating budget, Transportation Services account. The purchase amount for the software upgrade is $40,000.
Recommendation
Recommended Motion: The City Commission: 1) approve the purchase of the Naztec Streetwise upgrade package; and 2) authorize the City Manager to issue a purchase order not to exceed $40,000.
Alternative Recommendation A: The City Commission reject this request for purchase, resulting in the inability to fully utilize the City's Traffic Management equipment being installed with the S.R. 26 & 26A expansion project.
