Title
Supplier of Traffic Signal Cabinet and Controller Equipment for Gainesville Area Advanced Traffic Management System (B)
This item is a request for the City Commission to approve the selection of Naztec, Inc. as the provider of traffic signal cabinets, controllers, software, and workstations for use in the construction and implementation of the City Traffic Management System (TMS).
Explanation
After vigorous multi-vendor testing was initiated in 2003, the City of Gainesville Public Works Department selected Naztec, Inc. as its vendor for traffic signal control equipment and software to be utilized in the Traffic Management System. Naztec, Inc has already supplied this equipment for Phases I and II of the TMS project under a previous Resolution. Public Works would like to continue using Naztec, Inc. for the final two phases. All items under this authorization will be purchased through a competitively bid contract between Naztec, Inc. and Seminole County, Florida, or through a sole source agreement with Naztec. The sole source agreement would be based on proprietary software that Naztec has developed for use in its equipment.
Fiscal Note
Funding in a not-to-exceed amount of $1.75 million is available for Naztec purchases for the remainder of this project in the various TMS project accounts including FDOT-TRIP Grant and Campus Development Agreement Capital Projects Fund.
Recommendation
Recommended Motion: The City Commission: 1) approve the selection of Naztec, Inc. as the City's supplier of the traffic signal control equipment and software; 2) authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents to complete the Traffic Management System project, subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
