EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Tom Teigen 3/18/26
PURPOSE: Approval of Professional Services Agreement CC03-26 with Rhythm Engineering. LLC to provide Traffic Data Collection Equipment and Support Services.
BACKGROUND: Public Works regularly monitors traffic volumes on streets and intersections to monitor trends and facilitate decision-making about the use of traffic control devices and street calming installations. The equipment used to measure traffic and pedestrian volumes is out of date and the manufacturer is no longer available to service equipment in need of repairs; Rhythm Engineering, LLC was one of four firms responding to RFP-25-0416RB-S and was selected through established federal, State and County policies and practices; Council’s approval of this motion will allow Public Works to obtain traffic data collection equipment and online support services from Rhythm Engineering, LLC.
