This system utilizes twisted pair <br />cables, fiber optic cables and other methods to provide communication <br />between the TMC and field equipment. These communication systems require <br />routine maintenance and emergency repair due to malfunctions or damage <br />due to construction. City staff and our current signal maintenance <br />contractor do not have the expertise and equipment to perform these <br />specialized services. <br /> <br />Crosstown was one of the original contractors that installed the City's <br />communication system. They have been performing the repair and <br />maintenance of the system for the City the past seven years. Based on <br />the City's experience with Crosstown, staff considers Crosstown to be <br />the most qualified maintenance company based on their knowledge of the <br />City's communication systems, their experienced staff and the <br />exceptional services that they provide. <br /> <br />25C-1 <br />
