COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 6/4/2019 -Ordinance No. 23678-06-2019
DATE: Tuesday, June 4, 2019 REFERENCE NO.: **P-12335
LOG NAME: 13PADVANCED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SB TPW
SUBJECT:
Authorize Agreement with Texas Highway Products, LTD., in an Amount Up to $1,000,000.00 Using a
Cooperative Contract for an Advance Traffic Management System and Related Services for the
Transportation and Public Works Department and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (2018 Bond Program)
(ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
1. It is recommended that the City Council authorize an Agreement for the procurement and
implementation of an Advance Traffic Management System (ATMS)with Texas Highway Products LTD for
a total amount up to $1,000,000.00 using Texas Association of School Boards BuyBoard Contract No.
534-17 for the Transportation and Public Works Department; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the 2018 Bond Program fund in
the amount of$1,000,000.00, from available funds to provide funding for the Advanced Traffic
Management System (ATMS) in the 2018 Bond program Traffic Signals programmable.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to award a contract with Texas Highway
Product for procurement and implementation of Advance Traffic Management System (ATMS) and
appropriate additional 2018 Bond funds for Traffic Signals.
As the city grows, the need for a leading-edge ATMS technology becomes more urgent. Having the ATMS
is crucial in responding to emergencies, incidents, events, day-to-day traffic demand and fluctuation.
Additionally, this will improve time efficiency and effectiveness of the workforce while meeting the
expectations of the citizens of the City of Fort Worth.
The ATMS will enable staff to monitor and manage traffic signals and traffic flow remotely and in real-time.
It provides the ability to respond to unexpected situations very quickly thus minimizing the effect of
congestion caused by lane closures, stalled vehicles, or other unexpected causes. ATMS will also be
beneficial due to the fact that it will reduce or eliminate unnecessary trips by staff to signalized
intersections in order to make traffic signal timing adjustments as most adjustments to signal timing could
be done quickly and effectively by the operator watching traffic in real-time remotely utilizing the PTZ(Pan,
Tilt, Zoom) cameras.
In addition to the above, the ATMS system would also provide tools for additional features such as:
• Continuous and automated monitoring of traffic conditions and adjusting of traffic signal timings and
operations in real time with no interruptions or time lag;
• Automatically monitor, assess and provide notifications about the status and state of traffic signal
equipment in the field;
•Automatically collect traffic data; and
• Monitoring and reporting of meaningful "performance measures" describing the performance of traffic
operations and traffic signals.
