RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO PUBLISH A REQUEST FOR
PROPOSAL FOR AN AUTOMATED RED LIGHT PHOTO ENFORCEMENT
SYSTEM AND SELECT THE MOST RESPONSIVE AND QUALIFIED
PROPOSAL BY USE OF COMPETITIVE NEGOTIATION.
Whereas, the purchase of an automated red light photo enforcement system
would enhance public safety by assisting in reducing red light violations, traffic
accidents and increase public awareness of red light violations which contribute
to injuries; and
Whereas, the purchase of such systems would assist the San Rafael Police
Department in enforcement of red light violations, consistent with departmental
goals of proactively seeking innovative ways to address public concerns about
traffic issues; and
Whereas, acquisition and implementation of an automated red light photo
enforcement system requires a competitive purchasing process and the
evaluation of sealed bids is not practical for such complex systems; and,
Whereas, the San Rafael Municipal Code, section 2.55.190, allows the City
Council to authorize the City Manager to purchase equipment or services by use
of competitive negotiation.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND RESOLVED that the City
Manager is authorized to publish a Request for Proposal for an automated red
light photo enforcement system and select the most responsive and qualified
proposal by use of competitive negotiation pursuant to San Rafael Municipal
Code Sections 2.55.190 and 2.55.200.
