69. IGA WITH CITY OF PHOENIX FOR AZTECH ADVANCED TRAVELER INFORMATION SYSTEM Approve and authorize Maricopa County’s Department of Transportation to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the City of Phoenix to maintain, operate and implement advancements to the AZTech Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) at Sky Harbor International Airport Rental Car Center (RCC). The IGA outlines the mutual understanding of both parties role in maintaining and operating the AZTech Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS). By maintaining this system, the RCC will be equipped with ATIS displays which will help the traveling public make informed decisions about the route it chooses while the public still has the option to change such plans. Action on this item is subject to County Attorney’s Office, Civil Division’s review and approval of the final IGA and subsequent execution of the IGA. Expenditures for FY 2009-10 are contingent upon the Board adopting the recommended FY 2009-10 budget. The ATIS informs travelers of real-time pre-trip information on current roadway conditions. The County and the City have agreed upon a customized design concept to provide appropriate pre-trip road traveler information to airport passengers using the Rental Car Center (RCC). This customized RCC ATIS design concept consists of four LCD display monitors located throughout the customer service level of the RCC and displays real-time travel conditions which may include colored highway maps noting incident and road closures, estimated travel times, average speeds on freeway segments, and news about special events impacting traffic. The County will maintain County installed equipment, upgrades of the hardware or communications infrastructure, and operation of software to generate the RCC ATIS display monitors. The County will also be responsible for upgrading or changing the software and information displayed on the RCC ATIS display monitors in coordination with the City. Ensure that there are no advertisements displayed on the monitors without prior written approval by the City. The City will pay for recurring electrical costs necessary for the operation of the RCC ATIS including the display monitors, network electronics, and other miscellaneous hardware; plus provide periodic cleaning of display monitors and associated mounting devices as needed.
