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.
