Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Safety to modify and extend the existing contract with Redflex Traffic Systems for automated red light enforcement system. The City entered into a contract with Redflex Traffic Systems Inc. via ordinance 1015-2005 passed on 10/20/2005 for services and related equipment for a three year period which expired March 7, 2009. The original contract allowed for a one year extension of the terms of the contract. This legislation authorizes the Safety Director first to modify the terms of the original agreement and to extend the agreement from March 7, 2009 to March 7, 2010. The agreement is being modified to increase the current base of the City's compensation by ten percent.

The City of Columbus contracted with Redflex Traffic Systems Inc in 2005 to help resolve the ongoing problem of motorists disobeying traffic control signals that have contributed to significant number of motor vehicle crashes. This agreement has assisted the city in increasing compliance with traffic control devices and reduced injuries at heavily traveled intersections.

Contract Compliance Number: 943292233.

This model has been modified to increase the city's share by ten percent. There is no fiscal impact on General Fund expenditures. Revenues collected under this contract since the inception of the program is $1,441,758.
