MIST is an advanced software <br /> platform developed by Telvent Farradyne, Inc., for integrated traffic control and advanced <br /> transportation systems management which helps staff minimize congestion, enhance safety, <br /> respond to incidents, and improve operations. MIST conforms to national standards, works with <br /> the latest traffic signal controllers, and allows the City to interface with other signal systems for <br /> signal coordination across jurisdictions. <br /> <br /> MIST implementation for the City started in 2006 for the traffic signals in the downtown central <br /> business district area, and expanded in 2008 to include all traffic signals in the city. Telvent USA, <br /> LLC, (formerly Telvent Farradyne) has been providing annual maintenance and on-call services <br /> since the initial implementation of the system. The original three-year maintenance contract has <br /> expired. Since Telvent USA, LLC, is the owner/developer of the system software and the only <br /> consultant that can maintain and support the system, staff recommends a new three-year contract <br /> with the option of two 1-year extensions with Telvent USA, LLC, for an amount not to exceed <br /> $70,000 annually. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 25B-1 <br />
