HEARING:
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.
To award this contract, additional funds are needed in the Traffic Signal component of the 2018 Bond
Program Fund, in the amount of$1,000,000.00. The Traffic Signals programmable project budget
summary is as follows:

The action in this M&C is not included in the FY2019-2023 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and will
amend an existing programmable project (Traffic Signals) and its FY2019 budget.
The 2018 Bond Program authorizes issuance of bonds for street and mobility improvements,
including $12,500,000.00 for traffic signal improvements, of which $4,000,000.00 was previously
appropriated. Approval of this M&C will appropriate an additional $1,000,000.00.
In accordance with the City's current practice of issuing bonds in arrears, available resources within
the General Fund will be used to provide interim financing until debt is issued. Once debt associated
with the project is sold, bond proceeds will reimburse the General Fund in accordance with the
statement expressing official Intent to Reimburse that was adopted as part of the ordinance
canvassing the bond election (Ordinance No. 23209-05-2018).
PRICING ANALYSIS—The contract offers fixed discounts. Staff reviewed the pricing and determined
it to be fair and reasonable.
M/WBE OFFICE—A MBE/SBE goal is not assigned when purchasing from an approved purchasing
cooperative or public entity.

by both parties and continue in accordance with the terms and conditions of BuyBoard Contract No.
534-17, which is currently expected to expire on May 31, 2020. If the BuyBoard Contract is renewed
or extended, this M&C authorizes the City's contract to be renewed or extended to match the term of
the BuyBoard Contract.
ADMINISTRATIVE INCREASE -An administrative increase or change order for this Agreement may
be made by the City Manager in the amount up to $100,000.00 and does not require specific City
Council approval as long as sufficient bond funds have been previously appropriated.
