title
Resolution Approving an Intergovernmental Agreement with the State of Illinois Department of Transportation for the Design, Operation, and Maintenance of an Advanced Traffic Management System

BACKGROUND:
The City of Joliet is actively developing an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS). An ATMS is a modern system used to communicate with the City’s traffic signals. It will replace existing systems that rely on antiquated technologies including dial up modems with modern technologies including a fiber optic network.
The City of Joliet maintains most of the traffic signals within the City Limits. Many of these traffic signals are owned by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). The City has a separate Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with IDOT for traffic signal maintenance responsibilities. As the ATMS project involves many upgrades to the traffic signal systems, a new IGA is required that details the design, operation and maintenance of the ATMS.
The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
CONCLUSION:
Attached is a resolution approving an agreement with the State of Illinois, Department of Transportation, for the design, operation and maintenance of an ATMS in the City of Joliet.
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
Based on the above, it is recommended that the Mayor and City Council adopt the attached resolution approving an Intergovernmental Agreement with the State of Illinois Department of Transportation for the design, operation and maintenance of an Advanced Traffic Management System in the City of Joliet.
