Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CITY MANAGER <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Telvent USA, <br />LLC, in the amount of $70,000 annually with the option to extend for two one-year contracts <br />exercisable by the City Manager, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City <br />Manager and City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />On August 4, 2003, the City Council approved an agreement with Telvent Farradyne, Inc., to <br />implement the Management Information System for Traffic (MIST). MIST is an advanced software <br />platform developed by Telvent Farradyne, Inc., for integrated traffic control and advanced <br />transportation systems management which helps staff minimize congestion, enhance safety, <br />respond to incidents, and improve operations. MIST conforms to national standards, works with <br />the latest traffic signal controllers, and allows the City to interface with other signal systems for <br />signal coordination across jurisdictions. <br />MIST implementation for the City started in 2006 for the traffic signals in the downtown central <br />business district area, and expanded in 2008 to include all traffic signals in the city. Telvent USA, <br />LLC, (formerly Telvent Farradyne) has been providing annual maintenance and on-call services <br />since the initial implementation of the system. The original three-year maintenance contract has <br />expired. Since Telvent USA, LLC, is the owner/developer of the system software and the only <br />consultant that can maintain and support the system, staff recommends a new three-year contract <br />with the option of two 1-year extensions with Telvent USA, LLC, for an amount not to exceed <br />$70,000 annually. <br />25B-1
