Subject:
Amendment No. 1 to the Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) for the Purchase of Traffic Signal Equipment between the City of Orlando and Florida Department of Transportation
Summary:
The Transportation Engineering Division maintains 488 traffic signals in the City of Orlando, and each intersection requires a sophisticated traffic signal controller to operate the intersection. Transportation Engineering has been replacing the old existing copper wire and serial fiber optic communications network with state of the art fiber Ethernet communications systems to increase data capacity and improve reliability, and the next step is to replace controllers. Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has agreed to fund up to $400,000 to upgrade the traffic signal controllers from serial to Ethernet communications at 129 intersections to maximize the net communications network. FDOT will also fund the purchase of 23 closed circuit TV cameras in improve the City’s ability to monitor and manage traffic at key City intersections. The City will purchase the controller upgrade kits and install using City staff, and FDOT will reimburse the City for the purchase cost. FDOT subsequently notified the City another project would upgrade traffic controllers at five of the listed intersections. FDOT agreed to allow the City to retain these five controllers as spares. 
Fiscal & Efficiency Data: Transportation Engineering will fund the purchase from Project TRE0013_P (Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Downtown Master Plan). FDOT will reimburse the purchase cost once City staff installs the controllers and cameras. This amendment does not change any costs. 
Recommended Action:
Approval of the attached amendment and authorization for the Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem to execute same, subject to review and approval by the City Attorney's Office.
