DATE: January 10, 1990 County
SUBJECT: Riverview Fire Protection District � �`�
Traffic Engineering Services Contract
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute a contract with E. C. Jiu
Associates in the amount of $91,800 for the period of January 22, 1990
through May 31 , 1990 for the provision of traffic engineering services
related to the Riverview Fire Protection District' s Opticom signal control
system.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Execution of the recommended contract will result in a cost to the
Riverview Fire Protection District of $91, 800. The contract amount is
included in the District' s 1989-1990 budget.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Opticom traffic signal control systems enable police agencies and fire
districts to respond to emergencies in a more safe and timely manner. The
Opticom system enables an emergency vehicle to override the normal
operation of traffic signals to provide a corridor of green lights in the
direction of travel of the emergency vehicle. The system obviates the
usual practice of having to slow down and proceed cautiously through red
lights when responding to emergencies.
Opticom systems have been installed in the Moraga Fire Protection District
and are currently being installed in the Contra Costa County Fire
Protection District. The recommended contract will enable the Riverview
District to begin converting the traffic signals in its district to the
Opticom system. The system will be implemented in conjunction with the
cities of Antioch and Pittsburg on a cost sharing basis.
