Staff has worked with WPS to integrate various Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) elements,
interconnect signals along major corridors, and establish communications between the Traffic
Operations Center located in City Hall and various traffic signals throughout the City. WPS has
also delivered and provided technical installation support and onsite technical training on
numerous ITS devices and related software, including local signal controllers, traffic central
management software, and vehicle detection equipment. Staff worked in coordination with
various developers and WPS to expand network communications to several traffic signals along
Dublin Boulevard, Dougherty Road, San Ramon Road, Fallon Road, Central Parkway, and Village
Parkway.
Staff has identified additional needs for communication devices, specialized traffic signal systems,
and communications expertise. The proposed second amendment will allow WPS to support Staff
on the Citywide Signal Communications Upgrade project, CIP No. ST0713, which provides for
continual upgrade of traffic signal communication systems, network switches, signal controllers,
and battery backup units. WPS will also assist in the maintenance and replacement of the aging
traffic signal hardware, communication devices, and network.
The proposed second amendment will extend the term of the current agreement from June 30,
2021 to June 30, 2023. The amendment will also increase the total not-to-exceed compensation
amount from $200,000 to $360,000. If approved, the second amendment will support the
expansion and maintenance of the traffic signal communications network along major corridors.
