CITY OF SOUTH BEND TRAFFIC SIGNAL CENTRAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Maintaining an effective and efficient transportation system through the City of South Bend is important for providing a high level of safety and service to the businesses and residents. We commend the City for pursuing federal funds to address deficiencies in the traffic signal network, and we understand the City desires to use those funds to install a Central Management System and modernize existing signal equipment. We have assembled a strong team to work closely with the City and maximize the use of these federal funds. DLZ's team will be led by the duo of Anthony Glenn as Project Manager and Dan Wiktorzak as Deputy Project Manager. As a project manager, Anthony is actively working with the City of South Bend on the Kennedy Academy Safe Routes to School and Bendix Drive projects. He is proactive in his communication and his relationships with City staff help keep the project on track. Anthony also understands the INDOT/ LPA project development process and will serve as the liaison between the City and our design team. Dan Wiktorzak brings a high level expertise of traffic signal design, ITS, and traffic signal systems. He will work closely with Anthony to lead the technical analysis. As you will see in the provided project approach and project profiles, the proposed team has extensive experience in the exact scope identified in this RFP. DLZ's experience includes working on ITS system expansion projects and all things traffic signal related within the Midwest. We recently finalized plans for Illinois Department of Transportation for installation of ITS equipment along 5 miles of 1-94 (Bishop Ford Freeway). This required extensive field and record drawing analysis, recommendation for new equipment deployment, preparation of new special provisions, development of new project specific ITS details, development of communication single line diagrams, as well as fiber assignment sheets for both distribution and lateral fiber optic cable. DLZ is a minority -owned business and understands the importance of DBE requirements, as well as putting together the right team for the job. Iteris, Inc. and Shrewsberry & Associates, LLC both have a reputation for providing outstanding and accurate services and DLZ is happy to have them on our team. We appreciate the respect and professional attitudes they portray when dealing with LPA's, DOT'S and other engineering firms, and are looking forward working as a team for the City of South Bend. Iteris, owned by Almaviva Group, is the market leader in smart mobility infrastructure management since 1987. Iteris' 450+ staff have decades of expertise in traffic management, along with superior services and patented products that help detect, measure, and manage traffic and vehicular performance, minimize traffic congestion, enhance safety, and empower Iteris clients with solutions to better manage their transportation networks. The DLZ Team's extensive experience in ITS, traffic signal design, and traffic signal systems, including temporary signal and system interconnect design, combined with our well- known quality of service makes our team uniquely qualified to successfully complete the requirements of this contract. Thank you for this opportunity to submit on the Traffic Signal Central Management System project. We look forward to working with you on this project.
