RE: San Marnan Traffic Monitoring System
Hammond Intersection
REGINALD A.
SCHNIITT We sent request for proposals (RFP) to three firms and received proposals from all of
Ward I them. The RFP not only asked for a price quotation but also required that the technology
and design of the monitoring system be included. The proposals were investigated for
CAROLYN future expansion capabilities, maintenance and service, quality of pictures, technological
COLE matters and trends, and other associated costs. The low bid submitted by Radio
Ward 2 Communications of Waterloo, Iowa was determined to be the best proposal. This
HAROLD proposal includes a traffic monitoring backbone system. Once the backbone system is
GETTY installed and completed, monitoring cameras can be commissioned at various locations
Ward 3 through out the City. This system can also accommodate the Police Department and the
Waste Management needs for monitoring remote locations.
