TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Contra
FROM: Allen Little, Fire Chief
Riverview Fire Protection District Costa
DATE: October 18, 1990 County
SUBJECT: Riverview Fire Protection District
Traffic Engineering Services Contract Extension
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute a contract extension with
E. C. Jiu Associates for the period of June 1, 1990 to June 30, 1991,
for the provision of traffic engineering services related to the Riverview
Fire Protection District' s Opticom signal control system with no increase in
payment limit.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Extension of the existing contract will result in a cost to the Riverview
Fire Protection District of $34,313.89 in 1990-1991. The contract amount is
included in the District ' s 1990-19.91 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 obviate's 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 extension of the existing contract will enable the Riverview
District to continue the conversion of traffic signals in its district to the
Opticom system. The system will be implemented in conjunction with the
cities of Antioch and Pittsburg.
