A bill for an ordinance approving a proposed Master Purchase Order between the City and County of Denver and AM Signal, Inc., for City-wide traffic signal controllers. (FINANCE & SERVICES) Approves a two-year $2 million master purchase order with AM Signal for fully operating traffic signal controllers citywide (0264A0114). The last regularly scheduled Council meeting within the 30-day review period is on 10-27-14. The Committee approved filing this bill by consent on 9-25-14.
No resolutions bills for introduction 692 Councilwoman Ortega 781 Councilwoman Shepherd, 712 Council Shepherd and Ortega and then bills for final 786 Councilwoman Monteiro I think I got them all right now committee have the first one bills for introduction 781 Councilwoman Shepherd, what would you like for us to do with this? I just have questions. Go right ahead. So just so the public knows, the last two weeks we've been in public hearings for the budget. So a lot of the items that might have been discussed in committee were put immediately on the consent agenda. And we haven't had a chance to ask questions on some of these issues. So on 781, it says a bill for an ordinance approving a proposed master purchase order between the city and county of Denver for city wide traffic signal controllers. And then in the in the text that we have, it says for fully operating traffic signal controllers citywide, which sort of sends off alarm bells to me does that it makes it sound like either a we have some but they're not fully operational or B, we don't even have them. So I don't even understand what this means. Exactly. So I want you to clarify for me, if you will please introduce yourself. My name is Megan DeGroot. I work in purchasing. I actually facilitated the bid process for this purchase. So this purchase is for the basically the silver traffic control boxes that you see at every intersection. The reason I said fully operating is because the boxes have to come to us with full wires transfers, power. If there's power failure, it has to have the police. Which is so the police can open the boxes and control the traffic signals if need be. So that's why it said fully operating. So it leads me to wonder, do we have some that don't have these at all or are we have do we have some that are just half functional? No, they're fully functional. It's just. It's just the way it's worded. Yeah. And maybe I misuse fully operating is what I was going for. So the cabinets have to come to us fully assembled together, basically ready to put out everything that's out on the street. Controlling the intersections is working as it should be. It was because there's so many different parts and pieces. That's why it said the cabinets have to be delivered fully. Okay. So, okay, so are these replacing some? Is that what you're saying? Yeah. Basically, any time there's an accident that hits a traffic controller box, anything like that, we need to replace an update if if anything goes down or anything like that. I don't I don't think anyone's here from the traffic department, but they're the experts on what all these traffic signal controllers do. Okay. Thank you. That's helpful. Do you have any other questions come from several? Not on that, Bill. All right. Thank you. Madam Secretary, can we tee up the next one, which I believe was set? 692 Councilwoman Ortega, what would you like for us to do with that? I just have a question.
