Explanation
§ On April 8, 2013, City Council approved a Municipal Agreement with the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) in the amount of $472,000 for the traffic signal work on the Independence Boulevard Widening project.
§ An Intelligent Transportation System consists of fiber optic cabling combined with traffic management cameras, dynamic message signs, and other traffic information devices that provide the ability to remotely adjust traffic signals to improve traffic flow in response to changing conditions during normal and emergency situations.
§ The Supplemental Agreement in the amount of $241,938 from the NCDOT is needed to ensure the City is fully reimbursed for the work it performs in the Intelligent Transportation System phase.
§ The additional $241,938 will fund the extension of the fiber optic communications network to the traffic signals and the installation of traffic management cameras.
