64. BID AND AWARD FOR THE INSTALLATION OF INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT EQUIPMENT Authorize the Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) to hold a solicitation of bids for the installation of Intelligent Transportation System traffic management equipment along W Olive Ave, between Litchfield Ave and L101. The equipment consists of underground fiber optic communication cable, closed circuit television cameras, and related equipment. In addition, authorize MCDOT to award a contract to the lowest responsive bidder, provided that the lowest responsive bidder does not exceed the Engineer’s estimate by more than ten percent. In addition, authorize MCDOT to utilize funds in Fiscal Year 2012-13 in the Public Works (910) Transportation Capital Projects Fund (234) Intelligent Transportation System (INTL) Project, Sub-Project T292, Olive Ave: Litchfield Rd to Loop 101 ITS. Fiber Optic communication cable will be installed adjacent to Olive Ave traffic lanes, within the existing right of way, from the intersection with Litchfield Road, easterly to 111th Ave. The newly installed cable will be connected with communication lines already existing from 111th Ave easterly to 103rd Ave. New traffic management closed circuit cameras will be installed at three of the intersections along Olive Ave. Several existing traffic signals along the length of this project will be interconnected. Together with communication lines already established in the area, the installed equipment will allow traffic signal and traffic video data to be transferred to the MCDOT Traffic Management Center (TMC) and the TMC’s of other AZTech™ agencies in the region. The information will enable more accurate as well as real time traffic management decisions for the area. The City of El Mirage is a partner with MCDOT on the project and an intergovernmental agreement betwee n MCDOT and the city is being developed in order to facilitate the project.
