Summary:
This project consists of the installation of fiber optic cable and conduit, 3 Dynamic Message Signs, 21 CCTV cameras, and associated device structures throughout various locations in the county.
The County has installed several miles of ATMS/ITS network on County and State facilities; however, there are still gaps in the network. These gaps are primarily at intersections that were not included in the primary ATMS/ITS networks, bypassed due to conflicting construction, or in need of additional devices to provide complete coverage. The Phase 3 ATMS Project will address these network gaps and device shortfalls. The areas located in this project include parts of central Pinellas County along State Road (SR) 686 (East Bay Drive), and SR 60 (Gulf to Bay Boulevard). Areas of northern Pinellas County between Curlew Road and SR 580, and a small section near Keystone Road, are also included in this project.
Background Information:
This project is part of an overall implementation of the Countywide ATMS/ITS effort that was adopted and funded by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) utilizing the Ninth Cent Local Option Fuel Tax in 2006. As part of that plan, this segment is being constructed based on a priority list of projects developed by the Board and the Metropolitan Planning Organization.
Fiscal Impact:
Expenditure not to exceed: $ 957,796.30
