MIST provides integrated traffic control <br />and advanced transportation systems management. It conforms to national standards, works with the <br />latest traffic signal controllers, helps staff to minimize congestion, improves operations, and allows the <br />City to interface with other signal systems for signal coordination across jurisdictions. <br />Traffic signal systems are proprietary and, since Schneider Electric Mobility NA, Inc., is the developer of <br />the system software, it is the only firm that can license and provide maintenance and support of the MIST <br />system. Schneider Electric Mobility NA, Inc. has been providing two services for the City's traffic signal <br />system: one is annual MIST licensing and software support, and the other is on -call services for any <br />programming and emergency system support needs. <br />The current three -year maintenance contract has expired. Staff, therefore, recommends a new three - <br />year contract with the option of two one -year extensions, in an amount not to exceed $70,000 annually. <br />The recommended contract breakdown is licensing and software support for a flat fee of $12,000 per <br />year, and on -call services for programming and emergency system support at a not -to- exceed amount of <br />$58,000. <br />25H -1 <br />
