1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into contract with HNTB Ohio, Inc., in the amount of up to $1,250,000.00 for the Traffic Signal Installation - Columbus Traffic Signal System (CTSS) Phase D project.
The Department of Public Service has initiated a procurement effort that will result in the award and execution of a detailed design contract. This project is the next phase of design and system integration during the migration of the existing Columbus Traffic Signal System (CTSS) to an open architecture that can serve central Ohio stakeholders with system connectivity and interoperability. The desired outcome is to transition approximately 260 existing signalized intersections to the central traffic control system installed in the CTSS B project maximizing the infrastructure from the previous projects.
Fiber optic cable, wireless devices, and other electronic equipment will be installed as part of this project. Underground interconnect infrastructure improvements will occur such as the replacement and expansion of conduit paths and duct banks. New conduit and pull boxes will be installed along I-270 between Harrisburg Pike and Hamilton Road. It is anticipated that Franklin County, ODOT, and local municipalities will participate in the project either near these identified limits or near previously installed infrastructure.
MORPC currently has the project (PID 82573) scheduled for construction in State Fiscal Year 2017, with an allocation of Federal Congestion Mitigation, and Air Quality (CM/AQ) funding.
