BACKGROUND:

Meeting in regular session on September 22, 2016, the Board approved Contract PD 15-16.090, "Traffic Signal Construction," to be awarded to Ingram Signalization.

The fund allocation for this Purchase Order will modernize 14 Escambia County intersections from legacy signalization equipment to current industry standards. This hardware deployment will also provide communication to connect these locations to the new ATMS Phase 1 network which will provide numerous benefits, including: "Real-time" interface with intersections, data collection for developing timing plans to improve traffic flow, and intersection health reporting. The health reporting will alert staff to operational deficiencies for proactive maintenance, which will offer a more consistent and safer commute for motorists. The 14 intersections are listed below, and the description of proposed upgrades and related costs (totaling $241,325) are provided.
