Shared Maintenance Agreements

Number

5

Status

Planned

Description

Agreement that would allow multiple public agencies to pool their funding together for the purposes of ITS-related projects on a regional level. For example, pooled funding could be used to hire a single maintenance contractor to maintain ITS devices throughout the Region. This type of agreement may reduce the cost of maintenance particularly for agencies with a limited number of ITS devices deployed. By combining all maintenance into a single contract the need for each agency to provide specialized training and equipment to staff is eliminated. Pooled funding could also be used to solicit engineering services for design of regional ITS architecture or traffic management software to be used in TOCs throughout the region.
