Title
26. Motion to Renew Annual Contract for Red Light Camera Systems with Redflex Traffic Systems (Event No. 6487)
Strategic Priority
Public Safety
Description

Recommend approval to renew the automated red light photo enforcement system contract with Redflex Traffic Systems in the amount $166,800.00, for a two-year cost of $333,600.00. The camera systems are used to provide photographic evidence of red light violations and to issue citations to violators. The increase in the contract amount is due to upgrades to the software and equipment over the years. 

The method used for this procurement was the request for proposal, which evaluates criteria in addition to cost. Proposals were evaluated on the basis of experience and qualifications, technical capabilities, methodology, system expansion considerations, and fees. This is the final two-year renewal option available for this contract.

Redflex operates red light cameras at the following intersections:

  • White Bluff and Abercorn 
  • Abercorn and DeRenne
  • Abercorn and Mall
  • Abercorn and Montgomery Crossroad

The following is a breakdown of citations issued and revenue collected from red light violations at these location over the past three years:

YEAR CITATIONS ISSUED REVENUE COLLECTED
2017 12,554 $727,880
2016 16,960 $790,819
2015 13,445 $689,511

This proposal was originally advertised, opened, and reviewed on June 25, 2002. This is the last two year renewal option available for this contract.

The contract term will be from September 1, 2018 through August 30, 2020.
