In December 2023, the Fire Department signed an agreement with Global Traffic Technologies to acquire Opticom services for intersection preemption (Resolution 23-R-130). Opticom Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) enables first responders to reach scenes quickly and safely by utilizing traffic signal preemption devices.

Miovision Technologies has acquired Global Traffic Technologies (GTT), and GTT's systems are now integrated into Miovision Technologies' platform. 

The Police Department would like to enter into an agreement with Miovision Technologies for Opticom services, providing us with the flexibility to expand our capabilities through additional licenses each year, beginning with ten (10) licenses for FY25-26. This strategic partnership will improve our operational efficiency and responsiveness.

Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) directly supports our strategic plan by improving the safety of first responders and citizens sharing the road during emergency responses, ensuring a safe passage through intersections.

City Staff recommends contracting with Miovision Technologies to enhance the safety of first responders and the public.

The Fire Department currently has an approved NTE of $33,795 for opticom services for the term of the contract (10 years). The cost for Miovision Cloud EVP licenses is $630.00 per license/year. At this time, the Police Department would like to purchase licenses for ten vehicles, which is $6,300.00 annually, or $63,000 for the term of the contract (10 years). Additional licenses may be purchased in the future as additional PD and FD vehicles are added to the program. The additional funding will come from the existing approved operating budget.

Approval of Resolution 25-R-157.
