Discussion:
The City of Shakopee owns and operates the existing traffic signal system at the intersection of Southbridge Parkway with Old Carriage Court. Due its proximity to the adjacent traffic signal system at the intersection of County Roads 21/18 and Southbridge Parkway, the signal must be coordinated so they operate in sequence.
In an effort to better operate and make adjustments to the county signal system, they are equipping it with an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) that will allow the system to be monitored and dynamically managed remotely. As such, the city's signal would benefit and would likewise need to be equipped with the ATMS due to the needed coordination between the signal systems.
The county is prepared to install the equipment and fiber optic line to the city's Southbridge Parkway and Old Carriage Court signal system concurrently as part of the county's project. The city's costs would be as follows:
- Installation $7,474.10
- One time license fee $979.00
- 2023 cloud hosting/service fee $250.00
- starting in 2024 $430.00 annually for cloud hosting/software maintenance
In addition, the city would reimburse actual costs annually for traffic signal management and optimization services provided by the county. These additional time and material costs would generally be expected to be equivalent to the time, efforts, and costs that we currently spend to manage the signal system (without the ATMS).
The recommended Cooperative Maintenance Agreement will codify the traffic signal partnership similar to the many other city-county agreements.
