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 28 signalized intersections along Olive/Dunlap Avenue from Agua Fria Ranch Road to Interstate 17. Within this project, there are five signalized intersections in Phoenix located on Dunlap Avenue from 43rd Avenue to 29th Avenue. The adaptive signal technology will provide full detection at each traffic signal and communicate traffic signal metrics to adjacent intersections to improve corridor travel times and reduce side street delays. The system will adaptively change traffic signal timing/sequence on a cycle-by-cycle basis to improve traffic flow. The City will own, operate, and maintain the equipment installed at the five signalized intersections upon completion of the project.
Contract Term
The term of the IGA will be five years. The IGA will begin on or about May 20, 2020 and 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 $35,000 to cover the five signalized intersections associated with the project. Funding is available in the Street Transportation Department's Capital Improvement Program budget.
