Page 19 of 19 Collier County, FLATS Contract Amendment 2010.05.26 City of Collier County, FL -r L.#,- �0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY mecommenaatnon to approve Amenament ivo. 1 of Agreement va -miz to American iratnc Solutions for provision of a Red Light Running Camera Enforcement System and extend the current contract on a month to month basis subject to termination by either party upon thirty days written notice. OBJECTIVE: To gain Board approval of staff s recommended Amendment No. 1 to Agreement 08 -5132 with American Traffic Solutions (ATS) to continue the Red Light Running Camera Enforcement System for signalized intersections maintained by Collier County on a month to month basis subject to termination by either party upon thirty days written notice, as well as, to obtain data for issuance of a new RFP once state standards are developed by December 31, 2010 CONSIDERATIONS: On February 10, 2009, Collier County entered into Agreement 08 -5132 with American Traffic Solutions to provide services for the implementation of the "Red Light Running Camera Enforcement System" as provided in the Collier County Intersection Safety Ordinance as amended. The Mark Wandall Traffic Safety Act was approved and signed into law by the Governor on May 13, 2010. Certain provisions within Agreement 08 -5132 are not in compliance with the Mark Wandall Traffic Safety Act. To bring Agreement 08 -5132 into compliance with state law, an amendment to the contract is needed. The Mark Wandall Traffic Safety Act allows the County to continue to use the traffic detector camera equipment that has been installed until July 1, 2011. After July 1, 2011, all equipment must be in compliance with specifications to be established by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) by December 31, 2010. This amendment will allow the extension of the current contract and bring it in compliance with the new law that becomes effective July 1, 2010. The program now, excluding right turn on red, would continue and data would be developed to establish an REP for solicitation by the end of the 2010 calendar year. The county would only seek to recoup its costs, estimated at $8,250.00 per month, and allow the vendor to operate and report on the program in preparation for the new REP. FISCAL IMPACT: The amendment of the contract provides to the County a flat fee to cover its costs to administer the program, estimated at $8,250.00 per month. The remainder of funds will be distributed to the state and to the vendor consistent with Florida law. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office and is legally sufficient for Board action —SRT. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This action will result in no growth management impact. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve the Amendment No. I of Agreement 08 -5132 to American Traffic Solutions, authorize the Chairman to execute the attached amendment, and authorize any necessary future budget amendments related to disbursement of funds collected through this project to the General Fund (001).

The county would only seek to recoup its costs, estimated at $8,250.00 per month, and allow the vendor to operate and report on the program in preparation for the new RFP. FISCAL IMPACT: The amendment of the contract provides to the County a flat fee to cover its costs to administer the program, estimated at $8,250.00 per month. The remainder of funds will be distributed to the state and to the vendor consistent with Florida law.
