The remaining 38 traffic signals are monitored and controlled by a recently installed <br /> Management Information System for Traffic (MIST). The City is converting all traffic signals to the <br /> MIST system and due to the size and complexity of the project, the implementation is divided into <br /> eight phases based on geographical areas. <br /> To expedite the traffic signal system upgrade project in a cost efficient and timely manner, two <br /> procurement processes are required for purchase of the equipment directed to sole source suppliers <br /> established in the initial MIST phase installed in the Downtown area in 2008 as well as a formal bid <br /> award for standard traffic signal cabinets. <br /> A notice inviting bids was advertised on April 28, 2010, and bids were solicited for traffic signal <br /> cabinets. A summary of the bid invitations and bids received is as follows: <br /> 10 Invitations For Bid mailed <br /> 5 Bids received <br /> Contract Award for Traffic Signal Systems U~~aae Equipment <br /> <br />
