📋 Tender Overview
Scope : Traffic Signal Controller Replacement
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/JUSTIFICATION : This project initiates a scheduled replacement of the older traffic signal controllers throughout the City. This project would provide for the replacement of approximately 3 of the City's 115 traffic signal controllers per year. The new controllers are needed for signal coordination and compatibility with the pre-emption program for the traffic signals being proposed by the Fire and Police Departments. All new intersections are currently compatible. The cost of a single controller is approximately $14,000 plus $6,000 for a battery backup system and $6,000 for pre-emption. Recently, the cost of these cabinets has increased due to advanced technical equipment within the cabinet. This appropriation would allow for two to three replacements per year. This replacement schedule also is in keeping up with the replacement needs for the older controllers, purely from a maintenance perspective. The City is currently redesigning cabinet standards and drawing down existing stock in preparation for these new cabinet standards. Windsor at 22nd and Windsor at Rhomberg were updated in 2017. Nevada and University in FY 2018, Locust and Charter along with Carter and Chaney on Asbury Road will be updated in FY 2021.
