Inc. for the City of Miami Traffic Infraction Detector Program.
Purpose of Item:
To authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement with American Traffic Solutions, Inc. (ATS) to furnish, install,

the number of fatalities and injuries that result from traffic accidents at critical intersections throughout the City, and to

minimum, the Program will be cost neutral to the City.

The City has identified nineteen (19) traffic intersections where data has shown a high level of violations and/or a
frequency of right-angle collisions likely caused by running of red traffic signals. Capital Improvements Program (CIP)
issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 09-10-026 on June 11, 2010 to procure a qualified and experienced company
to furnish, install, operate and maintain a Traffic Infraction Detector Program for the City of Miami (City). On July 16,
2010, two (2) Proposals were received in response to the RFP: American Traffic Solutions, Inc. (ATS) and ACS State &
Local Solutions, Inc. (ACS). Both firms were deemed responsive as part of CIP's due diligence effort.
The Evaluation Committee (Committee) convened on Monday, August 9, 2010 to evaluate the responses to the
solicitation and establish the ranking of the firms based on its review of the Proposals. The RFP required each Proposal
to include a Technical portion, a Price Proposal and a binder of Photos and Attachments requested. The Price Proposal
submitted in a separate sealed envelope was evaluated after the review and evaluation of the Technical Portion. Based on
the results of the Committee's evaluation, ATS was determined to be the top-ranked firm. The Program is anticipated to
generate revenue for the City. However, at a minimum, the Program will be cost neutral to the City.
