HomeMy WebLinkAboutRESPONSE - RFP - 7397 TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONTROL SYSTEMJune 22, 2012 Traffic Control Centracs has available three methods of central traffic control along in addition to an optional Centracs Adaptive capability: • Traffic Responsive • Time -of -Day (TOD) • Manually Command These methods of traffic control can be applied in any combination to individual controllers, sections of controllers, and groups of controllers. Controllers can belong to a single section at any time, but can be moved from one section to another manually or by time of day. Controllers can belong to multiple groups at any one time, offering maximum flexibility in traffic control strategies. Reports Centracs provides a full set of historical "system" and "detector" reports generated using Microsoft SQL Reporting Services. Some reports allow for specifying, filtering, and sorting parameters to customize the reports. Centracs currently provides twenty-five (25) reports that include information compiled from data retrieved from the system and any field device capable of logging data. The following is a partial listing of the available Centracs reports: • Alerts Log • Communications Statistics • Detector Fault Status • Device Configuration • Entity Hierarchy • Entity Notes • Hourly Comm Statistics • Links • Raw Detector Data • Signal Changes • Signal Detector Events Signal Events • Signal MMU Events • Split Upload and Compare • Split Monitor • System Activity • System Events • Time Drift • Traffic Responsive • User Login • Users and Recipients • VOS Daily Report • VOS Hourly Report • VOS Multi -Date Hourly Report • VOS Multi -Date Daily Report Centracs also provides a means by which user -specific reports can be created and added to the Reports menu item without the requirement of additional third -party software or custom development work by the software provider. Microsoft SQL 2008 Reporting Services is provided as the custom report -generating tool. Communications and Device Support Robust, dependable communication to field devices is key to a successful ATMS system and is a critical component of Centracs. Most communications media is supported, including fiber optics, twisted -pair, leased lines, and wireless. Protocol support includes: TCP/IP, UDP/1P, RS232 serial, ACT, PMPP, STMP, and SNMP. Traffic signal device support includes: Econolite's NTCIP-based ASC/2, ASC12S, and ASC/3 (1000, 2100, or Rack Mount) NEMA TS1/TS2 controllers, 2070 (L or LN) controllers running ASC/2070, ASC/3 2070, or Oasis firmware, Siemens EPAC/SePAC controllers running EPAC version 4.01D,170-type controllers running certain versions of Wapiti W41KS firmware, and NTCIP 1202 compliant controllers. Your Service Solution Partner for Intelligent Transportation Systems is ITS Optional Centracs ,'Modules Advanced CCTV The Centracs CCTV module is a high-speed, high -reliability and large system -type distribution Enterprise -Class Internet Protocol -based (IP) video surveillance solution that provides seamless management of digital video across IP networks. This enables quick configuration and immediate deployment that supports multiple camera types and makers. Video can be transmitted over existing wired and wireless IP networks, including DSL (VDSL), fiber optic, Wi-Fi, etc. Centracs supports Axis and Autoscope cameras natively, but can be configured for virtually any camera type with the "Advanced CCTV" option. Data Collection and Management System DCMS is in process of being integrated with Centracs to provide the capability to monitor, in real-time, the traffic and travel conditions of intersections, mid -blocks, or freeways via vehicle detection devices. These valuable detection systems become automated virtual count stations that gather and distribute traffic data without interruption. Server to Server The Centracs Server -to -Server module provides a unique interface allowing agencies to achieve unparalleled benefits through cooperative operations and system management. Adjoining Centracs- managed cities can seamlessly share data and manage arterial traffic across agency boundaries finally realizing and exceeding the promises of Center -to -Center communications. Centracs Server -to -Server also allows agencies to participate in cross jurisdictional management and monitoring of neighboring agency intersections. Dynamic Message Sign Management The latest release of Centracs (v 1.6) includes support for Changeable Message Signs, allowing users to manage and control signs and messages from within the Centracs user interface. Centracs Local Edition Centracs Local Edition allows uploads and downloads from a laptop to locally -connected controllers in the field. It also allows users to synchronize their changes with the main Centracs database when connected back in the office. Maintenance Management System Our Maintenance Management System (MMS) is in process of being integrated with Centracs to provide real-time data entry and tracking of all field activities and assets with a simple click of a button. MMS is an industry specific asset management system and includes document management, staffing management, inventory control etc. 1.2 Local Controllers 1.2.1 Understanding of Current Conditions and Project Objectives The City currently maintains 178 Naztec 2070 controllers running Siemens Nextphase firmware. An additional l 1 Econolite ASC/2 controllers are also connected to the TOC via the communication system (4 via Ethernet and 7 via serial). The remaining 26 locations utilize Multisonics 820 controllers and do not communicate with the TOC in addition, 48 reduced speed school zones use Eltec NTC-17E clocks. As described previously, Aegis proposes to replace the existing Nextphase software on the 2070 Your Service Solution Partner for Intelligent Transportation Systems 0 gis controllers with the Econolite ASC/3 software. This approach is discussed in the following section. The methodology to accomplish this task and the expected results are presented in Section 3, Installation Discussion. 1.2.2 Proposed Base Solution We understand it is the intent of the City to continue to use 2070 controller hardware and standardize on local controller firmware from the same vendor as the central software. We further understand that the City does not intend to upgrade or expand their communications or bring any new intersections online including the existing 12 2070 controllers not connected to the TOC, the existing 26 controllers currently running Multisonics equipment, or the 48 reduced speed school zones using the Eltec NTC-17E clocks. To this end, we understand that the solution requested only focuses on the 166 existing 2070 controllers connected to the TOC and the 11 ASC/2 Econolite controllers. Therefore, Aegis proposes a City-wide license for the ASC/3-2070 software to replace Nextphase controller software. The ASC/3 software is the latest in a series of Advanced System Controller Software packages offered by Econolite and has been built to NEMA TS2 and NTCIP standards. The ASC/3-2070 controller software fully supports the model 2070's open architecture, as well as its standard OS-9 multitasking real-time operating system. The ASC/3 software is compatible with any 2070 controller and I processor module built to the 2002 Transportation Electrical Equipment Specifications (TEES) specification with 8 MB of Flash and 8 MB of RAM (2002 TEES, Errata 2). Our base solution does not include any controller hardware for the 2070 controllers. However, if any of the existing 2070 processor modules do not meet the above specifications, it will be necessary for the City to upgrade the processor modules in addition to the ASC/3 license. We have included separate unit pricing for those modules if needed. The ASC/2 controller hardware is not upgradeable to support NTCIP and will need to be replaced. Our base solution does include pricing for 11 Econolite ASC/3-2100 controllers to replace the ASC/2 units. 1.2.3 ASC/3 2070 Software Aegis proposes to replace the City's NextPhase controller software with the Econolite ASC/3-2070 controller software. _ The Econolite ASC/3 software is the same code base that n operates our ASC/3 family of controllers including the ASC/3 111 c _ RackMount and the ASC/3-2100 NEMA controller. " The ASC/3 software provides a multitude of configurations and set-up options that allow it to serve as the primary traffic control platform flexible enough to meet present and future traffic management environments. The full four -ring, 16-phase operation supports the most challenging intersection configurations and strategies. The ASC/3 is fully NTCIP-compliant, including support for NTCIP 1202 data dictionary standard. This ensures robust and familiar communication between the controllers and traffic management center. The ASC/3 series of controllers are designed to communicate with Centracs via Ethernet or serial communications. In addition to standard traffic control and communications, the ASC/3 offers a number of standard and optional capabilities to further extend its capabilities and enable creative and complex operations. The built-in logic processor allows the controllers to process inputs and modify controller behavior or activate outputs based on soft logic statements without the need for external hardware. Your Service Solution Partner for Intelligent Transportation Systems aeg IS ITS 1.2.4 Optional Controller Replacement Solution Recognizing the City's desire for a high value solution, the age of the current controller hardware, and the potential need to replace some of the 2070 1 B processor boards, we believe that we have an alternative approach that may result in a significant benefit to the City. Econolite has developed a version of the ASC/3 controller to be a direct replacement for Model 170 or 2070 controllers in a 33X cabinet environment. The controller provides full ASC/3 functionality including the ASC/3 display and keyboard in a rackmount chassis with a C 1 1/0 connector to interface with any standard 33X cabinet. Moreover, this package is available for only a small premium over the cost of the license and a replacement I module. Instead of retrofitting old hardware, the City has the unique opportunity to replace the entire controller with Econolite's flagship hardware and software. Greenwood Village selected this approach and is enjoying the benefits today. If the City selects this approach, the City-wide ASC/3 license would not be required as the software is included in the ASC/3 RackMount price. In the event some ASC/3 licenses are requiredat isolated 2070 locations, a unit cost is included separately in our price proposal. 1.3 Licensing Terms RFP Section 10.1 includes a series of questions regarding our software licenses. We have reprinted the questions below along with our responses. I. Describe the structure of license between server and client components. The Centracs software is licensed at the server level for a given number of intersections. We have proposed a 250 intersection license for the City. The license can be expanded in the future as needed. The client software and the communications server software are not separately licensed. There is no limit with regards to the Centracs license for number of users. 2.Are "users" counted as the number of client installations or as the maximum number of concurrent users or processes? With regards to the Centracs license, users are not limited. 3.How is the number of traffic signal controller and/or signalized intersections related to the software licensing costs? What will be the software licensing cost when adding to signalized intersections? As in response to question 1, Centracs is licensed at the intersection level. A 250-intersection license is included in our proposal. The license can be expanded in 50-intersection increments. However, if the City expects to exceed that number in the next few years, it is more economical to buy the larger license upfront. 4.Do different application modules and software packages have different numbers of licensed concurrent users? Centracs users are not licensed by quantity. However, Microsoft Server 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 do require an appropriate number of Client Access Licenses (CALs). We have included sufficient CALs to support 10 concurrent users. Some optional modules, such as advanced CCTVV, utilize third party software that is sized by number of connections, including users. 5. What is the maximum number of users allowed at the price quoted for the license? Per the response to question 4., we have provided CALs.for 10 concurrent users. The Centracs license does not limit the number of concurrent users. Your Service Solution Partner for Intelligent Transportation Systems • gis RS 2 Functional Requirements Spreadsheet and Comments Aegis is highly compliant with the 249 major requirements stated in Appendix A of the RFP. While we provide additional explanation associated with the specific requirements in the matrix, for your convenience, we have listed the few areas where we are not compliant below: Requirement: "System should allow for automatic synchronization of timing Data with field personnel's Smartphone" Response: A Smartphone application is not available at this time. Requirement: "System shall provide exception based polling to signalized intersections" Response: NTCIP SNMP Traps for exception based polling are not supported as a standard at this time. Requirement: "Controller firmware should support Internet Protocol version 6" Response: Local controllers support IPv4. No support for Internet Protocol version 6 at this time. Requirement: "Basic phase timing and status shall be accessible using a Smartphone." Response: A Smartphone application is not available at this time. Requirement: "Controller firmware shall allow the user to select phases not to shorten when using short way transition method." Response: The ASC/3 maintains the coordinator clock in the background when a signal is in transition. This typically allows the coordinator to regain synchronization very quickly. • Your Service Solution Partner 10 9 S for Intelligent Transportation Systems ITS Fort Collins Troflic �pBlatlOn6 Manufaetlrar: Aegls R9 / E-111te Contact: Doug Terry, PE CoroolW Pkmmra: ASC13 2.51.00 (or wastl CaMN TraRk Signal Control Sineam Sollars: Cenbac Advanced hanaportMron Management System bob —dons W Vendors: 1, Calumms A-G ere for WMnadon oNy.

We have added the project management task prior to Phase 1 since it will span the life of the project. Task 1 - Project Management Project management is a critical part of the deployment of any technology project and will govern all work conducted in Phase 1 and all subsequent phases. To emphasize its importance, we propose a dedicated project management task to ensure that Aegis ITS and the City share common goals and expectations of the project, manage changes needed through the course of the project, and execute the project to meet those goals and expectations. Stated most simply, project management means to "Plan the work and work the plan." We will utilize a three -faceted approach to project management consisting of project planning activities, project progress monitoring activities, and project control activities. These are further described below: • Planning — We will develop a project plan, including a project scope, work breakdown structure, a critical path method schedule, and task resource estimates. This will establish the baseline plan for the project. • Monitoring — As project work progresses, the project manager will monitor the progress of the work against the baseline project plan. Deviations will be evaluated to determine if corrective action is needed. • Control — If the project manager determines what corrective action is needed, a variety of controls are available to our project manager to correct the variance and/or adjust the plan. Some examples include adding resources, accelerating work schedules, adjusting scope and costs if needed, and coordinating with the City to remove any external issues beyond our control. While this methodology provides an excellent framework for project management, there are some key components of project management that bear mention here. The first is communications. Throughout the project, communications will be essential to a successful outcome. Aegis ITS will establish regular project meetings and updates to keep the City informed of project progress and upcoming activities. We will notify the City of any issues that may affect the project schedule, scope, or costs. In addition, our team will coordinate closely with the City staff for input on existing conditions, design goals, review feedback, and any issues/concerns during the performance of the project. The guiding document for project activity will be the master project schedule. A draft schedule for the project has been developed and is included on the following page. We are confident in meeting the City's goal of completion of year-end. It will be developed using the critical path method, allowing us to immediately identify impacts of schedule changes and perform "what if' scenarios as needed. The project schedule will be made available to the City electronically in Microsoft Projed' or Adobe .pdf formats, as desired. 3.1 Phase 1 Installation Task 2: Procurement Procurement management and coordination will be essential to meeting the City's goals and objectives for the project. In particular, we will 'schedule the submittal and approval of the central server and workstation complement to ensure the host environment for the Centracs system is available when needed for system installation. Similarly, we will schedule the submittal and approval of the controller hardware • Your Service Solution Partner 14 ��'� for Intelligent Transportation Systems ITS ID Task Name Duration Start Finish 1 Traffic Signal Control System Notice to Proceed Project Management Phase 1 Installation Procurement Submit HW/SW Specs City Review Server Hardware Procurement Controller Hardware Procurement (if needed) System Software Installation Deliver Servers to Fort Collins On -site System Installation Database Conversion from Nextphase to ASC/3 Installation of Firmware in Test Cabinets 97 days 0 days 97 days 65 days 40 days 5 days 5 days 30 days 30 days 10 days 5 days 10 days 10 days 5 days Mon 7/23/12 Mon 7/23/12 Mon 7/23/12 Mon 7/23/12 Mon 7/23/12 Mon 7/23/12 Mon 7/30/12 Mon 8/6/12 Mon 8/6/12 Mon 9/17/12 Mon 10/1/12 Mon 10/8/12 Mon 9/3/12 Mon 10/1/12 Tue 12/4/1 Mon 7/23/1 Tue 12/4/1 Fri 10/19/1 Fri 9/14/1 Fri 7/27/1 Fri 8/311 Fri 9/14/1 Fri 9/14/1 Fri 9/28/1 Fri 10/5/1 Fri 10/19/1 Fri 9/14/1 Fri 10/5/1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Phase 2 Installation System Cutover Phase 3 Acceptance Testing Training System Training Controller Training Acceptance Testing Phase 4 Project Completion Project Completion Start of Warranty and Maintenance 10 days 10 days 42 days 14 days 4 days 3 days 22 days 0 days 0 days 0 days Mon 10/22/12 Mon 10/22/12 Mon 10/8/12 Mon 10/8/12 Mon 10/22/12 Mon 10/8/12 Mon 11/5/12 Tue 12/4/12 Tue 12/4/12 Tue 12/4/12 Fri 11/2/1 Fri 11/2/1 Tue 12/4/1 Thu 10/25/1 Thu 10/25/1 Wed 10/10/1 Tue 12/4/1 Tue 12/411 Tue 12/4/1 Tue 12/4/1 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Task s-_w,r , wu:x Inactive Task Manual Summary Split Inactive Task Start -only Milestone ♦ Inactive Milestone Finish -only 3 Project: Macomb County Schedule rev Summary Inactive Summary Progress Date: Fri 6/22.%12 9 Project Summary Manual Task r Deadline External Tasks Duration -only External Milestone Manual Summary Rollup Page 1 2/4 2/41 2/4 • aegis An ECONOLJTE Group Company ITS June 22, 2012 James B. O'Neill II, CPPO, FNIGP Director of Purchasing & Risk Management City of Fort Collins 215 N. Mason St. 2"d Floor Fort Collins, CO 80524 Submitted via email to: purchasin&-Acgov.com Subject: Request for Proposal (RFP 7397) Traffic Signal Control System Dear Mr. O'Neill, Aegis ITS has prepared the following proposal in response to the City of Fort Collins' Traffic Signal Control System Project. This project is an important step in the City's traffic management strategy as it will set the standard for the City's future software and traffic signal management needs. Aegis is part of the Econolite Group and provides ITS services and technology to transportation agencies across North America. We have provided advanced traffic signal management systems for agencies including Centennial, Colorado; Sacramento County, California; Charlotte, North Carolina; Macomb County, Michigan; and Portsmouth and Richmond, Virginia. Aegis is proposing Econolite's industry -leading ATMS software, Centracs", to meet the project requirements. In fact, Centracs is already installed in six Colorado cities and has been exceedingly well received. Centracs is an off the shelf ATMS software package and is highly compliant with the City's requirements. Our proposal further details our response to the specific RFP requirements and is organized according to the RFP evaluation criteria, for ease of review. To replace the existing NextPhase controller software, we are proposing our most advanced controller software, the Econolite ASC/3, which is available on a variety of platforms, including a 2070 version, which is proposed for the City's controllers. The ASC/3 is the latest in a series of Advanced System Controller Software packages offered by Econolite and builds on the proven software, design flexibility, and unique feature set of the popular ASC/2 family of controllers. The software is compliant with NTCIP standards, and is compatible with all existing Econolite systems and 2070 controllers meeting Caltrans' 2002 Transportation Electrical Equipment Specifications (TEES), latest revision. We are also offering an option to upgrade the City's aging controller hardware with our cost effective ASC/3 RackMount controller which is fully compatible with the City's existing 33X cabinets. Aegis has received Addendum 1 and acknowledges changes made to the original RFP. We look forward to working with the City of Fort Collins on this project and all of your future traffic management needs. Please contact me directly at (714) 575-5701 or dterry@aegisits.com with any questions. Since , Aegi Doug Te E. Chief Operating I:cer 3360 East La Palma Avenue Anaheim, CA 92806-2856 Office: 714-238-9277 Fax: 714-630-1973 www.aegisits.com and other third party components to avoid any negative impacts to the agreed project schedule and coordination with other stakeholders. Aegis proposal includes the replacement of the existing file and communications servers as shown in the table below. By replacing these two servers, an orderly transition can be achieved from the old system to the new system rather than having to decommission the existing i2 system, wipe and reconfigure the old servers, install the new system and then transition all the intersections to the new software before the full signal system functionality is regained. For cost savings, we are proposing to reuse the existing workstations, although they can be easily upgraded at the City's option with our recommended workstations, the Dell Precision T5500. The proposed hardware for the two servers to be replaced is listed below. We can also provide HP servers if the City prefers. File Server • Dell R710 PowerEdge Server, (Application • Quad Core CPU 2.66Ghz (Qty: 2) Server) • 8gb ECC RAM • 146gb 15k rpm SAS hard disk (RAID 5, 5 drives in AID, I as hot spare) (Qty: 6) • Gigabit networking • DVD • Dual power supplies • Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 to support 30 clients • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 to support 30 clients Communication • Dell R610 PowerEdge Server Server • Quad Core CPU 2.66Ghz (Qty: 2) • 4gb ECC RAM • 73gb l0k rpm SAS hard disk (RAID 1) (Qty: 2) • Gigabit networking • DVD Dual power supplies • Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Task 3: System Software Installation Our standard installation process includes the delivery of the servers to our technical center in Colorado Springs for set-up. Once they arrive, our team utilizes a standard process to configure, install, and populate the servers with the City's system. Our proposal includes initial shipment to our Colorado Springs facility and final shipment of the servers back to Fort Collins upon completion of the factory installation. Configuration includes the set up of the servers, verification and configuration of the operating system environment, and, installation and configuration of the SQL Server database and other third party COTS software required to establish the operating environment. Once the operating environment is established, our technicians will install the appropriate components of the Centracs software application on the core server and communications servers as appropriate. After installation of the application, Centracs is configured for the agency including agency details, system hardware configuration, standard user roles and privileges, user accounts, roles, etc. Additionally, the factory installation process includes system data entry including, a Your Service Solution Partner 16�S for Intelligent Transportation Systems �i ITS • Intersection name • Main street • Cross street • IP address • Map graphics including dynamic icons for: • Intersection status (1" level) • Intersection status with plan (2"d level) • Intersection status with main street green (3r`' level) • Intersection phase movement display with status (41h level) Task 4: On -Site System Installation Upon completion of the Factory System Installation, Aegis will ship the Centracs servers back to the City's Traffic Management facility, allowing sufficient time for delivery prior to the arrival of the installation team on -site in Fort Collins. System installation will be scheduled to begin the Monday following the delivery of the equipment to the TMC. As with the factory installation, this process is well established over the course of more than 100 completed installations. Our team will install the servers in racks as directed by the City, make appropriate power and network connections in accordance with the design documentation, load the client software on the user workstations, bring up the system and verify proper operation, establish connectivity with the City's ArcGIS server (if web mapping services (WMS) is supported), establish connectivity to test controllers, and make adjustments as needed to the system data previously entered. During this installation visit, typically primary users are given basic, informal, training in the operation of the system. This type of training allows users to become familiar with the system between initial installation and formal training and have found this to be very effective in preparation for system training. Task S: Installation of Firmware in Test Cabinets Aegis will install and test the ASC/3 firmware in test cabinets in the following applicable configurations based on the City's selected approach. (See Section 1.2.2, Proposed Solution): • Existing 2070s with I modules built to the 2002 TEES Errata 2 specification with 8 MB of Flash and 8MB of RAM will be upgraded with an ASC/3 software, installed in the test cabinets and the software tested with Centracs. • Existing 2070s with I B modules built to the 2002 TEES specification with less than 8MB of Flash and RAM, will be upgraded with new 1 B modules with ASC/3 software loaded, installed in the 33X test cabinets and the software tested with Centracs. • ASC/3 RackMount controllers will be installed in 33X test cabinets and the ASC/3 software tested with Centracs. • ASC/3 NEMA controllers (replacing ASC/2 controllers) will be installed in NEMA TS-1 test cabinets and tested with Centracs. Task 6: Database Conversion from Nextphase to ASC/3 Aegis will work in close coordination with the City and convert the specified 20 existing controller timing databases to standard NTCIP form. Aegis successfully completed the conversion of almost 600 NextPhase controllers to ASC/3 2070 for the City of Charlotte earlier this year so we are very familiar with the work involved. We have retained Mr. Joe Henderson, P.E. of Sustainable Traffic Solutions to provide oversight and review of the database conversion. Mr. Henderson is a licensed Professional • Your Service Solution Partner fT C�g�c for Intelligent Transportation Systems ITS Engineer in Colorado. The work consists of three major elements: 1. System and controller data collection: We will work with the City to collect all existing system and controller data in its optimum form. Maximum use of electronic data such as .ini configuration files, NextEdit database files, or spreadsheet files with appropriate documentation is preferred. 2. Data conversion: We have developed a standard process and form for local controller data conversion. The form serves as a cover sheet to the existing timing sheets and includes all pertinent data for the intersection along with sign -offs for the engineer performing the conversion, peer review, and final review and approval. 3. Data verification As each controller's data is converted, the dataset will be loaded onto controllers (these could be the ASC/3 virtual controller software or actual hardware controllers) for verification. These tests will verify basic on street operation and catch gross errors that could cause problems in the field. 3.2 Phase 2 Installation Task 7: System Cut -Over Intersection pick-up on the new system will include the installation of controller firmware and establishing communications between Centracs and the field controllers for an initial grouping of approximately 20 intersections. However, we recommend that the City select a logical grouping of intersections for this initial deployment that best meets your specific needs and maintains the operational integrity and configuration of the City's traffic requirements. As the system will already be populated with the data for the intersections (See Tasks 3, System Software Installation, and Task 6, Database Conversion from Nextphase to ASC13), the intersections will begin communicating as soon as they are connected and placed in Standby mode at central. Once communications are established, they are ready to be brought online to the Centracs system. Intersections will be commanded into central control mode, current plans verified, and the intersections will be operating under Centracs control. 3.3 Phase 3 Acceptance Testing Task 8: Training Aegis will provide all training necessary for The City of Fort Collins to successfully operate and manage the traffic signal control system. Our proposed system training includes one 4-day classroom -training course with all training materials supplied for up to ten people. This training will include instruction on system functionality and use as well as "hands-on" training and we will be suitable for both traffic systems engineers and traffic signal technician staff. We understand that some areas may require more in- depth training than others, and will adjust the curriculum according to the City's needs. Training will be conducted at City facilities with access to the system for optimal understanding of the system. Aegis will also provide training sessions on the local controller software. This training will be provided by Econolite product specialists and will focus on the practical application of the controller. A sample training schedule for Centracs is provided on the next page Your Service Solution Partner for Intelligent Transportation Systems 18 aegis ITS Day 1 titroduction and Overview 1.5 hours This session will review the System Hardware, System Software, Centracs capabilities and features, and a brief tour of the Traffic Management System Workspace.

Optionally, Aegis will provide additional training modules including Train the Trainer, Transit Signal Priority, and Centracs Adaptive as necessary to meet the evolving requirements of the City. Task 9: Acceptance Testing The acceptance testing will be scheduled after system installation and training are complete. Acceptance testing will validate the following: • Central traffic signal control system software is property installed and configured • 2070 controllers (or selected alternate controller) are operating properly • All functional requirements are met as described in our proposal • Integration of the central traffic signal control system software with existing TMC equipment, and the communications network is complete and successful • Interfaces between the central traffic signal control system and additional subsystem modules as applicable, function properly • Data conversion is complete and valid • Alarms and reports are generated as designed • Bug fixes are successful Well prior to commencement of testing, Aegis will prepare an acceptance test plan incorporating the standard Centracs acceptance test procedures along with a demonstration of the functional and performance requirements of the City (as modified in our proposal and agreed by the City through subsequent discussions). The acceptance test plan will be submitted for review and approval by the City. The Centracs acceptance test procedures document the steps to be followed for each test along with the expected results. The test document includes space to note test results and sign -off by City personnel. If, during this phase, an item is marked as "failed" Aegis and City staff will agree to a course of corrective action for any items not completed. While the acceptance test period will run for a total of 30 days, the initial testing will establish that the system provides the agreed functionality and performs as expected. Following the initial testing, the City will actively use the system during the 30-day test period. While there is no limit to the City activity during the test period, per the RFP, one week during the 30-day test period will be reserved for unstructured testing of Centracs and the local controller software by City of Fort Collins staff or representatives. Aegis will be available for support throughout the 30-day test period. As described in the RFP with the requested modifications highlighted below, Aegis concurs with the following priority mechanism be utilized to organize and account for the types of issues that may be encountered during the Test Period. The issues would be handled as follows: • Class A: A severe variance (dead crash or multiple function failure) that prevents invalidates or significantly impairs system operations. Testing must stop for immediate evaluation and • Your Service Solution Partner 20'S for Intelligent Transportation Systems ITS correction by the Vendor. The City of Fort Collins reserves the option to restart the 30-day acceptance testing period due to Class A variances. • Class B: A significant variance (essential function failure with operator unaware). The City of Fort Collins may pause the testing period or allow testing to continue. If testing is allowed to continue, the variance must be corrected by the end of the etiffent sessieft ef day e test period. • Class C: A significant variance (partial function failure with operator notified). The City of Fort Collins may pause the testing period or allow testing to continue. If testing is allowed to continue, the variance must be corrected by the end of the test period. • Class D: A minor or isolated variance including annoying features. Testing will continue and the variance will be corrected and tested at a mutually agreed upon time (e.g. at the end of the test eF later- in the tes4 period or by some future date). Only actual software defects of this priority level will be corrected as above. Personal preferences or suggested improvements to system operations will be handled as enhancement requests and potentially included in the software in future releases. Upon successful completion of the Acceptance Test, the City will grant "System Acceptance" and the warranty period will begin for a period of two years. The warranty shall cover all defects in the central system and local controller software provided by Aegis. Third party hardware and software warranties will be transferred to the City. 3.4 Phase 4 Project Completion The remainder of intersections in the City will be transferred to the new system by City staff during Phase 4 and Aegis will transition to a technical support role. If not already provided, Aegis will ensure the City of Fort Collins has complete documentation of Centracs. Each document will be identified with a document number, contract number, and date and include a complete revision history. In addition to a hard copy, each document will also be provided in electronic form as an Adobe Acrobat (pdf) file. • Your Service Solution Partner 21 ��'� for Intelligent Transportation Systems ITS 4 On -going Maintenance Discussion In response to RFP section 10.2, Centracs is provided with a one-year warranty included in the license cost. Based on our understanding of the RFP, we are providing an additional year of maintenance (included in our price proposal) to give the City the two years of warranty coverage required following acceptance. Warranty (and ongoing maintenance) support includes unlimited telephone and remote access support from our Colorado Springs technical center. Our team of four dedicated Centracs system support engineers allows us to respond quickly to any customer questions and problems as they arise. In addition to this support, patch releases for bug fixes are included in the coverage and can be installed remotely as available. New feature releases are also included in the support and we typically target one upgrade per year. These upgrades can also be performed remotely. Regular support is available during normal business hours, Mountain Time. Of course, we also have our Econolite account manager and field technician based in the Denver area. For emergencies, Aegis also has a toll -free 240 maintenance hotline. Additionally, RFP Section 10.3 states that the Vendor shall provide system maintenance for at least one year beyond the term of the warranty (Maintenance Period). We have provided an annual cost for additional years of maintenance at our Bronze service level in the optional pricing section of the Cost Proposal. Beyond our Bronze maintenance support, we also offer Silver and Gold levels of support. The difference between the support levels is the addition of on -site support that can include additional system upgrades, system training, a system health check, and on -site diagnostics if needed. Silver support includes one full day on -site per year and Gold support includes three full days on -site.

Econolite Canada, Inc. (ECI), Arroyo Holdings de Mexico (AHM), and Safetran Traffic Systems, Inc. (STS) are owned by ECPI. The corporate structure is shown in the figure at right. Econolite was founded in 1933 with a single product, a stop sign with a flashing beacon called the "ECONOLITE." Since then, Econolite has continued traffic control innovation with many "firsts" in the industry including: • First digital actuated traffic controller • First microprocessor -based traffic controller • First widespread application of closed -loop arterial control systems • First NEMA TS-1 traffic controller • First NEMA TS-2 Type 1 cabinet assembly • First video vehicle detection system with multiple camera inputs • First web -based traffic data collection and management system Today, the Econolite Group has over 750 employees throughout North America and is headquartered at 3360 East La Palma Avenue, Anaheim, CA 92806. V; ECONOLITE EECONOLITE J I aegis t as NECONOUTE �•Anoy Holdings de Mexrco The Econolite Group of companies all share a common management philosophy encompassing our commitment to our customers, known as the Brand Promise. In concert with our quality plan, including Econolite's ISO 9001:2008 certification, and our Operational Excellence program, this corporate commitment ensures our customers receive the best service, the best products, and the most efficient delivery in everything we do. � Your Service Solution Partner 24 c V for Intelligent Transportation Systems ITS To complement the Econolite brand, Aegis was formed in 2009 to provide a broad range of services to the ITS market including systems engineering, software development, and ITS installation, integration, and maintenance. While Econolite has established a long-standing reputation for quality and innovation in traffic control products, Aegis is focused on projects and the unique needs and requirements they bring. Aegis combines the industry -leading products of the Econolite Group with professional engineering and technical services tailored to each customer's needs and offers core competencies in the following areas: • Engineering — Aegis offers engineering support to customers for system engineering and design, communications design, and system optimization. • Software Development and System Delivery — Aegis provides software development services for system customization. In addition to the industry -leading line of software products like our Centracs ATMS, Aegis offers the ability to develop custom software such as Information Exchange Network (IEN) support and additional functionality to existing and new systems. • Installation and System Integration — Aegis offers installation and integration as a one -stop shop. This capability includes project management, device and communications installation, construction of supporting infrastructure, and system integration, bringing together all of the discrete components into a functional, effective system. • Maintenance and Operations —Aegis also provides traffic signal, communications, and ITS maintenance services. We currently maintain over 1,600 ITS devices with 26 licensed electricians and signal technicians. 6.2 Qualifications and Experience Our project approach begins with a solid, field proven system solution. While Centracs is a contemporary traffic control system software application, it is also a low risk solution — one that has been sufficiently tested and proven to be reliable in real world traffic operations. Centracs debuted in November of 2008 at the ITS World Congress in New York City. Since that time, Centracs' performance in the market has been nothing short of astounding. We are not aware of any other ATMS application that has 102 systems under contract including licenses for over 17,000 devices within 36 months of its introduction. More impressive though, is that over 80 of those systems have already been installed and 80% of these have passed complete acceptance testing with the balance currently underway. The map at right shows the Centracs implementations that have been fully accepted, installed (pending acceptance), and recently selected for integration. We believe those statistics lead to a few well -supported conclusions drawn from the system's availability: • 112 agencies selected Centracs — Centracs is an ATMS system unlike any other on the market today. Agencies recognize its capability and have selected it over the competition over 100 times in the last three years. • 96 systems installed — Centracs is very straightforward to install and integrate — we have even performed installations in virtual machine (VM) environments remotely from our development center in Colorado Springs, CO. • 72 systems accepted — Centracs is a robust system that works well after installation. Prior to the system release and introduction, it was extensively tested at Econolite customer sites. Before the first system was sold, Centracs already had months of actual field operating experience. The result has been a solid system from the first production release. Aegis ITS has deployed Centracs along with associated design, integration, and installation services to transportation agencies across the country.

City of Charlotte, NC Contact name Tony Tagliaferri Address 600 E. 4"' Street, 6th Floor, Charlotte, NC 28202 Phone (704) 336-7934 Email _atagliaferri@ci. charlotte. nc. us The City of Charlotte operates and maintains nearly 800 signalized intersections under its jurisdiction. Charlotte developed a detailed set of procurement documents and implemented an exhaustive field trial process to ensure that they didn't just see "the demo." At the completion of the evaluation, the City selected Aegis ITS as their integrator, utilizing Centracs ATMS for the system software and Econolite's ASC/3 controller hardware and software in the intersections. All with the addition of one minor requirement — the system deployment and changeover had to be completed within six months from Notice to Proceed! Aegis responded to the challenge with a fast track schedule that condensed some initial design activities, placed a priority on early system deployment, and then staged the field data conversion and cutover with significant parallel activity between the City and Aegis staff. The system design document was completed and approved 30 days after Notice to Proceed and the system was installed and operational on -site within 60 days. At the three-month mark, all of the 145 CBD controllers had been replaced and cut over to the new system. The next phase of the project will see the replacement of the existing 2070 software with Econolite's ASC/3-2070 software. As part of the project, Aegis is performing data conversion for all of the controllers that will be brought online, as well as developing detailed system graphics. The aerial background for the graphical maps will be provided by the City's GIS department using a Web Map Service (WMS) interface to the Centracs system. The rapid deployment of Centracs was no stroke of luck. With over 90 systems deployed to date, this experience has been repeated over and over across the US, Canada, and abroad. The unique architecture of the Centracs system, combined with the extensive use of computer industry standards in its development, makes deployment a very low -risk proposition.

Though their Aries system functioned satisfactorily, once they witnessed first hand how Centracs could enhance the , s performance of their transportation network, they decided to take the next step in replacing their field masters to a central system that controlled their 50 intersections. In addition, the City appreciated the additional benefit of integrating their existing ASC12S controllers into Centracs. The City was in the process of designing a wireless radio link for existing public works usage and Econolite was instrumental in helping the City with their plans to include Centracs into their master communications plan. The City of Arvada was able to apply a portion of their budget through federal funding and received enough funding to add Centracs along with new controllers comprised of a mix of ASC/2S, ASC/2, and ASC/3, and new radio communication systems.

The City of Greenwood Village selected Econolite's Centracs system as their next system, providing them with the needed direct -connect communications to their intersections. The City recently purchased their first ASC/3 Rack -Mount and will put it on the street in the next few months, beginning the process of replacing all of their 170 controllers by early 2011, and after their communications upgrade project is finished. Currently, the City is primarily using the latest Autoscope RackVision Terra for vehicle detection and Econolite's AIS cameras for capturing video. The City of Greenwood Village plans to implement Econolite's traffic Data Collection and Management System (DCMS.2) and QuickTime streaming video media server to monitor, manage, and archive local traffic data.

The insurance provided to the additional insured by this endorsement is excess over any valid and collectible 'other insurance", whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis, that is available to the additional insured for a loss we cover under this endorsement. However, if a "written contract requiring insurance" for that ad- ditional insured specifically requires that this in- surance apply on a primary basis or a primary and non-contributory basis, this insurance is pri- mary to 'other insurance" available to the addi- tional insured which covers that person or organi- zation as a named insured for such loss, and we will not share with that 'other insurance'. But the insurance provided to the additional insured by this endorsement still is excess over any valid and collectible 'other insurance", whether pri- mary, excess, contingent or on any other basis, that is available to the additional insured when that person or organization is an additional in- sured under such 'other insurance". 4. As a condition of coverage provided to the additional insured by this endorsement: a) The additional insured must give us written notice as soon as practicable of an "occur- rence" or an offense which may result in a claim. To the extent possible, such notice should include: I. How, when and where the "occurrence" or offense took place; ii. The names and addresses of any injured persons and witnesses; and iii. The nature and location of any injury or damage arising out of the 'occurrence' or offense. b) If a claim is made or "suit' is brought against the additional insured, the additional insured must: i. Immediately record the specifics of the claim or "suit" and the date received; and ii. Notify us as soon as practicable. The additional insured must see to it that we receive written notice of the claim or "suit" as soon as practicable. c) The additional insured must immediately send us copies of all legal papers received in connection with the claim or "suit", cooperate with us in the investigation or settlement of the claim or defense against the "suit", and otherwise comply with all policy conditions. d) The additional insured must tender the de- fense and indemnity of any claim or "suit" to any provider of 'other insurance" which would cover the additional insured for a loss we cover under this endorsement. However, this condition does not affect whether the insur- ance provided to the additional insured by this endorsement is primary to 'other insur- ance" available to the additional insured which covers that person or organization as a named insured as described in paragraph 3. above. 5. The following definition is added to SECTION V. — DEFINITIONS: "Written contract requiring insurance" means that part of any written contract or agreement under which you are required to include a person or organization as an additional in- sured on this Coverage Part, provided that the "bodily injury' and "property damage" oc- curs and the "personal injury" is caused by an offense committed: a.

SCHEDULE PERSON OR ORGANIZATION -Sample Endorsement- -Not Valid - DATE OF ISSUE: - - ST ASSIGN: JOB DESCRIPTION 1 Primary Product Discussion Aegis proposes to provide new traffic signal control system and controller software that will replace the existing Siemens i2tms (i2) and NextPhase software. Specifically, Aegis proposes the following: • Central Software — Replace the existing i2 system with the Centracs Advanced Traffic Management System. Centracs is a Commercial -Off -the -Shelf (COTS) software product that meets the current City requirements as presented herein. • Local Controller — Replace the existing Nextphase controller firmware with ASC/3 Software. ASC/3 Software also meets the current City requirements as presented herein. As a value added option, Aegis can replace the existing 2070s with new ASC/3 RackMount controllers. Aegis is offering options for a Citywide controller software license or a per copy price to allow the City maximum flexibility in the selected approach. The following sections demonstrate our understanding of the current conditions and project objectives, and identify the proposed solution for each of the above solution sets. The recommended methodology to be used to successfully accomplish these tasks and expected results are presented in Section 3, Installation Discussion. 1.1 Central Software 1.1.1 Understanding of Current Conditions and Project Objectives The City currently uses the i2 Advanced Traffic Control System for the central software. The i2 system is housed in the Traffic Operations Center (TOC) located at 626 Linden Street in Fort Collins and consists of a central file server, communications server, and local field devices. The existing system can also be accessed through a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN). Supporting communications to the field devices is a "Traffic" Local Area Network (LAN). The Traffic LAN consists of a 1000 Mb/s backbone configured in a ring topology. 100 Mb/s connections are provided through lateral fiber runs connecting traffic signal controllers, CCTV cameras, video detection cameras, radios, and conflict monitors. Traffic Operations and the City IT Department cooperatively maintain the Traffic LAN. Ethernet communications using a mix of fiber and wireless media is primarily used throughout the system. IFS 7420 WDMt switches and RuggedCom`� RS900 managed switches are used for locations with fiber, while the Cisco` 1310 wireless access point/bridge operating at 2.4GHz are used for wireless locations. Where serial devices are still in place, the IFS 9130 serial transceivers are used where fiber is available and the Intuicom Communicator 11"" serial radios are used for devices connected via wireless. The Traffic LAN is connected to the City's Enterprise LAN through a single 1000 Mb/s Layer 3 routed connection. This connection provides Internet access to the Traffic LAN and is restricted for security reasons. Internet access is allowed to be initiated from the Traffic LAN with the exception of printing to certain enterprise printers, time sync with enterprise Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers (NTP is NOT allowed to/from the Internet), and access to DNS services. Your Service Solution Partner for Intelligent Transportation Systems �mg1s ITS The existing central hardware is detailed in the RFP and includes: • One (1) HP ProLiant DL 360" File Server • One (1) HP ProLiant DL 360 Communications Server • One (1) HP ProLiant DL 360 Domain Control Server • Four (4) Dell Optiplex 755*' Workstations • Three (3) new Panasonic Toughbook CF-52'� Laptops The Centracs solution to replace the existing i2 central software is discussed in the following section. The methodology to accomplish this task and the expected results, including recommendations to retain or replace the above list of central hardware is presented in Section 3, Installation Discussion. 1.1.2 Proposed System Software The i2 system is built around the Windows 2000 platform and is an aging technology with limited support. To upgrade the existing system and provide enhanced usability as well as extended functionality, Aegis proposes the Centracs Advanced Traffic Management System. Centracs is a powerful, groundbreaking, system that is easy to deploy, easy to learn, and easy to use. It is distinguished from the field of ATMS solutions in five key areas: innovative software technology, smart client architecture, the ability to easily add enhancements and expand the system, intuitive user interface, and an incredibly rich feature set. Each of these five areas is discussed in the following sections: Because Centracs is developed, managed, and maintained by Econolite as a Commercial -Off -The -Shelf software product, our customers benefit in significant ways. Most importantly, Centracs is the target of substantial internal ongoing investment. Even since its debut, Centracs has had several major releases (the current release version is 1.6) with each adding significant functionality and capability. The City benefits as follows: • Centracs undergoes formal releases with strong configuration management, • Centracs is standards based with thorough documentation, • Aegis provides dedicated Quality and support teams Rom" r 4 ALL Uto with ISO processes, '''w•MM • Aegis provides no cost i+cXOPO.

F;Mu, The timeline shown here represents - " the evolution of Centracs with an 2009 2010 2011 2012 abridged list of the enhancements by --- -- -- major software releases since the launch in 2009, and we're not done yet. We are continually enhancing Centracs for the benefit of our customers and to maintain the leadership position we have earned. Innovative Software Technology Centracs is built upon the latest software technologies, including the Microsoft .NET Framework, Windows Presentation Foundation, and Windows'"" Communications Foundation. As a result, Centracs provides the City with a built-in hedge against obsolescence. In fact, since its introduction, there have Your Semite Solution Partner for Intelligent Transportation Systems aegis ITS been six major releases, each adding significant new features, including adaptive control, enhanced measures of effectiveness (MOE), enhanced Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) support, and Dynamic Message Sign (DMS) support. And we have several new features on our roadmap for future enhancement as well. Smart Client Architecture Centracs utilizes a client -server architecture, illustrated in the figure shown on the right. Sma" a+nt smar.. c 2nt Client server system architecture is not new, but the segmentation of the system pti 'Cote` Server components is what makes Centracs &-t`eduier. Traffic Respa &va. 00w Sens unique. By encapsulating the user interface at the workstation, the interface is responsive, even over lower bandwidth NTCtP NTC1P oasrs connections.

Communications servers handle the real-time device messaging and network interface. This logical segmentation of the components provides tremendous scalability for the system. Expansion and Enhancement Centracs is not only easy to use for day-to-day operations; it is extremely easy to expand as well. All system data is entered through the user interface. There are no .ini configuration files to edit manually, no direct interaction with the database, and _ no system restarts for most configuration items. New devices? There is an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) for that. New users? There's a GUI for that as well. New communications servers? There's a GUI for that too. With Centracs, we have tried to include access to every configurable element within the interface so that users can expand their own systems without requiring additional outside services.

Intuitive User Interface The Centracs user interface is unique to the transportation industry and capitalizes on the latest technology. While the interface can best be appreciated in a live demonstration, the screenshot shown here gives an idea of how the interface uses "containers" to present a wide variety of data elements in an organized fashion. With full multi -monitor support, the system supports additional frames that can be assigned to each monitor. Additionally, each user can save one or more preferred configurations and restore their unique preferences when logged in. Beyond the rich information content and flexible displays, the Centracs interface allows both expert and new users to be efficient and effective through context sensitive menus, on-line help, and map and entity selection allowing users to easily navigate and effectively use the capabilities of modern controller technology. Rich Feature Set System Map Interface The main map and intersection graphics display is an integrated part of the system and is not a stand- alone application. The system automatically updates the status of all devices on all map displays at least once per second, with no more than four (4) seconds latency, once data is retrieved from a field device. Centracs incorporates an interactive citywide map as the foundation for the main graphics display. The map can be displayed in any or all of the available Centracs "containers" simultaneously or individually. Each instance of the map display is set up independently by panning and zooming such that each map region can be utilized as an individual sub -area for monitoring individual intersections or groups of intersections. _ _ _ Centracs maps are rendered dynamically using geo-coded Geographic Information Systems (GIS)-based map data. The Centracs system comes preconfigured with rendered map "tiles" generated from geographically accurate NAVTEQ"' map data. NAVTEQ map data provides the most accurate street -level Regional Map rendering capabilities for the Centracs map interface. Street curves, corners, and other geographic entities are depicted accurately and without distortion. The display also supports bitmap (.BMP), JPG/JPEG, .PNG, and .GIF raster file formats, ESRI shape files, and SDE version 9.x. Additionally, Centracs supports Web Map Services (WMS) to display geo- referenced map images from any Corridor Map WMS source, include ESRI Arclnfo Enterprise if available and properly configured. Your Service Solution Partner for Intelligent Transportation Systems Citywide Map Intersection Map a s ITS Zoom level ranges are configurable such that the display of dynamic and real-time status data appears or changes at various zoom levels. The color in the center of the circle in the first three icons indicates signal status. Standard zoom level details include: l . Intersection Status only — coordinated, free, flash, transition, preempted, communications fail, off line, etc. 2. Intersection Status, plus main line (through phase) signal colors 3. Intersection Status, main line colors and pattern number 4. Intersection Status, pattern number and up to eight phase colors 5. Intersection -level graphics with all signal phases, overlaps, pedestrian indications, detection, preemption, alarms, and status Because the main map and intersection graphics display are an integrated part of the system, once data is retrieved from a field device, the system automatically updates the status of all devices on all map displays at least once per second. The screenshots shown to the right provide sample screen shots of the map interface including regional, citywide, corridor, and intersection level examples. t lal-III's Centracs can be configured to send alerts to online users based on specific events I from field devices or from components in the system. The existing events are displayed in the Alert Monitor dialog. Centracs receives "Events" from field devices and other points in the system. These "Events" can be logged, but also »� can generate "Alerts" or initiate other actions to occur. LAWSOM �..WMO" rrorr w An "Alert" is a notification sent to, either s o an online, logged -in user, or an offline �= recipient via an email or SMS text message. A "Trigger" defines how an +..sr. aw event generates an Alert or Action and is user definable. The screenshot on the right shows how , L"C specific alarms can be directed to individual users. Aff EW] All Centracs users whether online or offline, can be assigned to receive alerts. Offline recipients are those individuals that are not currently using the ATMS and therefore require an email or SMS message notification. In order to send emails or SMS text messages, the email server must be configured and setup using the Centracs SMTP Servers main menu setup window. If an alert is not acknowledged or closed within a certain period, it may be desirable to "escalate" the alert or send it to an additional recipient or group of recipients. Centracs allows for this via Alert Escalations. Your Service Solution Partner for Intelligent Transportation Systems aegis ITS
