Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a contract for the Division of Design and Construction for a professional services engineering contract for the Columbus Traffic Signal System (CTSS) Phase B project with HNTB Ohio, Inc. for $2,500,000.00. A professional services contract for engineering is needed to assure timely completion of the design and as the Division of Design and Construction does not maintain adequate staff or all of the various disciplines necessary to complete such design in house.

This project will continue the migration of the existing central traffic signal control system to an open architecture utilizing the fiber-optic cable infrastructure being installed in the Columbus Traffic Signal System (CTSS) Phase A project. This project will install a new central traffic signal control system (software and hardware) that will be able to serve central Ohio stakeholders with system connectivity and interoperability, which is recommended in the Columbus Computerized Traffic Signal System 2005 study. This project will include the development of biddable plans for the migration of approximately 300 intersections to the new central traffic signal control system, a qualified products list for the new central traffic signal control system, fiber-optic and wireless device testing, all documentation to meet state and federal requirements to receive federal funding for construction, and system integration support. The project limits include but are not limited to the following traffic signals in these areas: the Downtown Central Business District, Morse Road from Indianola Avenue to Cherry Bottom Road, East Broad Street from Taylor Station Road to the Franklin County line, Karl Road from Morse Road to Dublin-Granville Road, Dublin-Granville Road from Huntley Road to Forest Hills Boulevard, Busch Boulevard from Dublin-Granville Road to Schrock Road, Schrock Road from Busch Boulevard to Cle...
