Summary:
This request is for the second and final term extension to the sole source contract for annual maintenance and support of the Smart Tracs Advanced Traffic Management System and Advanced Traveler Information System software. Due to the de-commission of the environmental sensors, that support task is no longer required for ongoing support resulting in a savings of $40,799.00 as compared to prior years.
Vendor services have been satisfactory, therefore it is recommended that the second and final term extension be exercised at the original prices, terms and conditions.
