Report
Summary
This contract is used to provide maintenance services to support the City's traffic signal system managed by the Street Transportation Department. The City's traffic signal system is used in the assessment of traffic signal timing for existing and proposed signalized intersections and is critical in maintaining a safe and efficient traffic signal system.

Maintenance and support services are necessary to ensure the system's availability and safe performance.
