This is because Traffic Control Corporation <br /> offers a 40 percent promotional discount on these materials to agencies-that order directly from Traffic <br /> Control Corporation, for multiple installations. <br /> • We contacted Hennepin and Ramsey Counties, and the City of Minneapolis to discuss upgrades that <br /> would be required on the controller and cabinet at each intersection, to allow for EVP to be made <br /> operational. At some locations,the controller or controller cabinet are not capable of allowing for EVP <br /> to be made operational at this time due to age and/or limitations of this equipment. Work ranging from <br /> minor wiring modifications to the installation of a new controller and cabinet can be required to be <br /> completed to allow for EVP to be made operational. Each agency's policy is to complete this controller <br /> and cabinet work themselves (contractors are not allowed to do this work, per agency policy) and to <br /> bill the City for this work. <br /> • Finally,we gathered all of this information and completed an estimated cost summary for the City to <br /> make each EVP system operational. <br /> Each intersection is described in detail as to what equipment will be needed to make each system <br /> operational, and what agency involvement will be required to allow for an EVP system to be placed into <br /> • operation. <br /> The following is a summary of each intersection's specific requirements: <br /> 1. Silver Lake Road at 39th Avenue Northeast <br /> Sight distance is not a problem for any of the intersection approaches,thus no detectors other than signal <br /> mast arm mounted detectors would be needed. <br /> Materials that would need to be purchased from Traffic Control Corporation would include four (4) <br /> detectors (one for each approach), and cable to operate one of the detectors (cable for the other three <br /> detectors is already inplace at the intersection). The cabinet control equipment for this system is already <br /> inplace. <br /> Ramsey County would have minor work to complete at this intersection to make the EVP system <br /> operational,but mentioned that they would not bill the City for this work(since it is so minor). <br /> Ramsey County mentioned that they would require an agreement be completed between the County and <br /> the City to account for ongoing maintenance of this EVP system(and the system at 37th Avenue also). The <br /> City would be billed by the County for any maintenance work to the EVP system that the County,would <br /> be required to do. <br /> • <br />
