During the <br /> initial term, twenty approaches were installed in the City. The original agreement also provided for <br /> two consecutive one-year extension options at the expiration of the initial term to provide continuous, <br /> uninterrupted service. The parties exercised both of these options, providing for uninterrupted service <br /> through June 18, 2010. <br /> In order to continue uninterrupted service, the parties have prepared a Third Amendment to the <br /> Agreement to establish a new five-year term commencing on June 18, 2010, and including two <br /> consecutive one-year extension options at the expiration of the initial term. This amendment <br /> decreases the cost of service for existing intersections from $5,370 to $3,900 per approach per <br /> month, and sets the cost for new or relocated approaches at $4,750 per month, which includes the <br /> cost of installation of new equipment, maintenance, and operational services. The amendment also <br /> provides the City with the option to order the installation of up to twenty new approaches in the City. <br /> The contract is further amended to require Redflex to issue warning notices at each new approach, <br /> and to provide expert court testimony upon request. Furthermore, the City reserves the right to <br /> terminate the contract if there are any changes in the law or negative court rulings regarding <br /> automated red light enforcement systems that would prevent prosecution of the subject incidents. <br /> 25K-1 <br /> <br />
