Red Light Camera Systems
City Announces Contract Winner As Lowery Called For More Information On City’s Red Light Camera Bid A few years ago City Councilman Myron Lowery presented an idea for the city to install red light cameras in the Memphis area. City government decided to pursue having the technology system. But not too many people knew about the contractors that placed bids to provide and install the equipment. Lowery asked that city officials release information about who was bidding on the contract. The veteran council member said he was going to ask his council colleagues to approve its subpoena powers to find out more about the red light camera system bidders. On Wednesday city officials announced that American Traffic Solutions has been selected by a committee as the chosen contractor for the job. ATS is known for its technology and business solutions that support photo traffic and electronic toll enforcement programs. ATS is one of the larger red light camera system providers in the country, installing systems in Illinois, Colorado, Florida, Texas, New Jersey, Arizona and other states. The red light camera system is based on an all-digital vehicle detection and digital imaging technology called the Axsis RLC-300 Red Light Camera System. The system uses up-to-date technology with a high resolution 12.4 megapixel digital camera. The camera can record “crystal clear, crisp images of red light violations. Images clearly show violating vehicles, license plates and driver faces.” Axsis cameras are the smallest and most unobtrusive system available in the world. The Axsis RLC 300 is the only red light camera that can independently monitor up to four lanes per controller and two different signal phases, simultaneously with a single camera. The system also includes an “integrated Internet addressable video recording system to monitor the intersection, record and transmit video segments showing the 5 seconds before and after each violation.” Memphis will begin using the system at 10 of the city’s intersections where accidents are most likely to happen. City Court Clerk Thomas Long helped organize the committee to oversee and decide which vendor was best for the red light camera system project. Once the committee had selected their best contractor selection Long presented the group’s final report to Memphis Chief Administrative Officer Keith McGhee. In turn McGhee made the vendor selection report available to the public. Officials said the secrecy of the contract bid was made in order to prevent potential vendors from contacting selection committee members about getting the contract. Instead of vendor relationships, contract bids were based on project costs; references; history of experience; and project planning. Committee members also used personal judgment in deciding which vendor should have the job.
