As part of the annual signal system maintenance program, the Streets Division of the Infrastructure and Development Services department purchases replacement equipment, such as signal controllers, signal lights, pedestrian crossing buttons, signal poles, and other components for the Town's 37 signalized intersections.  

As approved in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 budget, the Streets Division is replacing 10 of the traffic system's signal controllers because they have reached the end of their useful life and replacement parts are not available.  The Town's 37 signalized intersections also have battery backups that keep the lights in operation in the event of a power outage. Depending on the intersection, the battery backup provides up to 4 hours of normal operation and an additional 4 hours of flashing red lights during a power outage. The battery back-ups for 9 of the signalized intersections will be replaced this year. LED signal lights and pedestrian crossing signs will be replaced at 7 intersections this year. In addition, the purchase includes renewal of the Centracs Traffic Signal software and the annual maintenance and testing agreement for the battery backup system. 

All of these items and services will be purchased through BuyBoard, an agency that bids out services and products for its members to provide the leverage needed to achieve better pricing on products, equipment, and services. This purchase is budgeted for in the amount of $120,000 in the Street department's operations budget. The cost is not to exceed $114, 314.
