Report
Summary
In association with MCDOT (lead agency), the Street Transportation Department is participating in a Federal Aid multi-jurisdictional project to deploy ASCT at 13 signalized intersections along Bell Road from Del Webb Boulevard to Boswell Boulevard and from 69th Avenue to 39th Avenue. Within this project there are three signalized intersections in Phoenix located on Bell Road between 51st Avenue and 39th Avenue. This project will provide a system with the ability to adjust traffic signal operations in real time to reduce delays; reduce travel times; improve safety for vehicles, pedestrians, transit, and emergency services; reduce vehicle emissions at arterial intersections and the freeway/highway interchanges; and improve cross-jurisdictional traffic flow, making travel appear more seamless to drivers. The City will own, operate, and maintain the equipment installed at the three signalized intersections upon completion of the project.
Contract Term
The term of the IGA is five years and will begin on or about May 20, 2020. The IGA will expire at the end of the five-year term or when the project is completed and accepted, whichever comes first.
Financial Impact
The local match requirement with the agreement is $20,000 to cover the three signalized intersections associated with Phase 2. Funding is available in the Street Transportation Department's Capital Improvement Program budget.
