Comet Technology, Inc. The majority of the project was funded from $3.6 million of Federal TEA 21 and State matching funds. This project included the installation of a new traffic signal control system with interconnected Traffic Operations Centers (TOC) in Pleasanton, Livermore and Dublin. The new system allows staff to significantly improve traffic flow along the City's arterial roadways. The system also allows staff to collect real-time traffic volume information and adjust signal timing as necessary in response to special events or local emergencies. The video imaging system allows staff to monitor all of the City gateways and adjust signal timing as necessary to manage inbound traffic flow and cross-town freeway bypass traffic. The project was divided into two separate construction contracts. The Systems contract included the installation of all of the traffic signal control and communication field equipment and the TOC equipment at each City Hall. The Fiber contract included the installation of underground fiber optic cable linking the three TOCs. The Fiber Contract improvements were previously accepted by City Council on November 4, 2003. City Council also authorized staff to contract with Comet Technology, Inc. for extra work for an amount not to exceed an additional $150,000 for additive work in the cities of Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton, approved $50,000 in contingency money for minor work necessary to complete the project, and $100,000 for the purchase of additional equipment and spare parts from Comet Technology or Western Pacific Signal. The City of Livermore also initiated a $212,000 Change Order funded with Livermore local funds to expand the system in that city. The City of Pleasanton administered the contract for the three cities, saving the project approximately $250,000 in administration costs. Staff's time was charged against total project funds, with the remaining savings used to further enhance the project within Pleasanton. BUDGET The primary funding for the Systems Contract was from a $3.6 million federal grant. However, the total cost of the fiber contract, system contract, consultant agreement and change orders far exceeded the amount of the federal grant. About $1.4 million in local Pleasanton and Livermore funds were used to pay for portions of the base project and system upgrades.
