Public Works Committee 6. 1. Meeting Date: 09/18/2012 Submitted For: Grant Riemer By: Grant Riemer, Engineering/Public Works Title: Follow up Information on Radar Speed Signs Background: At the July 17th Public Works Committee meeting, staff was directed to research the cost of radar speed signs and their possible use for traffic control in the COR especially near the intersection and crosswalk at Sapphire St/Sunwood Dr. The following prices and information was provided by Traffic Logix Corp: The following is pricing on our SafePace 100 depending on which option you choose in regards to powering the sign: SP 100 with AC Power: $1,999 SP 100 with 3-Cell Battery (two weeks of power) : $2,299 SP 100 with 4-Cell Battery (four weeks of power) : $2,399 SP 100 with Solar Panel and 3-Cell Battery back-up : $2,599 This sign is very low weight and extremely portable. The pricing above reflects standard brackets and hose clamps to band onto an existing pole (ideally 4" in diameter). However, if you would like a more sophisticated bracket, we can supply you with a universal mounting bracket for an additional $125. The universal bracket comes with one pole plate but you can purchase additional ones for $49. Our larger sign, the Safe Pace 400 is what we recommend for roads with posted speed limits above 35 MPH. Our SafePace 400 radar sign has a static "YOURSPEED" message and highly visible 15" LED digits displaying vehicle speeds. Digits and/or a speed violator strobe can be programmed to flash at designated speeds. The following is pricing on these signs (2 year warranty, 10 year warranty on LEDs): SafePace 400 (AC Power) : $3,299 SafePace 400 (Solar powered with back-up batteries) : $3,999 I have attached product sheets for all models. Data collection software is priced at $400. With this software you will be able to generate reports for traffic analysis. I've attached some sample data reports for your reference. I should mention this is a feature that must be added at the time of the purchase and cannot be added in later.
