DATE: County
SUBJECT: Riverview Fire Protection District
Traffic Engineering Services Contract Extension
SPECIFIC REOUEST(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 January 1, • 1992
to June 30, 1992, for the provision of traffic engineering services
related to the Riverview Fire Protection District's emergency
vehicle pre-emption 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 $6,802..26 in 1992. The
contract amount is included in the District's 1991-1992 budget.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Emergency vehicle pre-emption systems enable fire districts to
respond to emergencies in a more safe and timely manner. The
emergency vehicle pre-emption 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.
Emergency vehicle pre-emption systems have been installed in the
Moraga Fire Protection District and are currently being installed
in the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District. The award of
this contract will enable the Riverview Fire Protection District to
continue the conversion of traffic signals in its district to the
emergency vehicle pre-emption system. The system will be
implemented in ' conjunction with the cities of Antioch and
Pittsburg, and the unincorporated areas of West Pittsburg.
