AGENDA ITEM ~~
AGENDA DATE September 18, 2000
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Authorization to Execute Agreement with APAC Technologies for Red Light Running Photo Enforcement
Systems Program
BACKGROUND
APAC Technologies (APAC) has a proposal for the City Ito demonstrate their photo enforcement systems for red
light running violation. APAC is the American distributor for Poltech International (Poltech), an Australian
corporation that manufactures photo enforcement systerr~s. They want to deploy Poltech's Centaur digital red
light camera system in Cupertino. The system is in use ire Australia, but not in America.
On April 17, 2000, City Council approved an agreement with Lockheed-Martin IMS (LM) to deploy their wet
film red light camera systems at seven traffic signals. LM has first right of refusal for any particular location.
LM also has exclusive right to process citations for red li€;ht running violations by photo enforcement systems of
other contractors. LM is coordinating with our Public Safety Commission on selection of seven traffic signals
for deployment. They will coordinate the initial public education campaign scheduled for November with red
light enforcement commencing in December.
The minimum fine for a red light running violation is $281.00 The City's share is $137.01 per paid citation.
Agreement
APAC will annually pay $42,000 per field camera unit to the City for a minimum term of five years. They want
to install a minimum of two field camera units. They will receive $49.51 for each paid citation.
After LM selects their seven traffic signals for deployment, APAC will install two or more field camera units.
They will coordinate their deployment with LM.
There is no financial risk to the City unless the City wishes to terminate for convenience within the first eighteen
months. The termination fee is $25,000 for each field camera unit.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION

AGENDA ITEM ~,,Z
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
AGENDA DATE January 16, 2001
Approval of installation of three locations for Demonstration Red Light Running Photo
Enforcement Systems.
BACKGROUND
At the September 18, 2000 meeting, City Council authorized an agreement with APAC
Technology to install and operate a demonstration red light running photo enforcement
system.
APAC will annually pay $42,000 to the City for a minimum term of five years. The
minimum fine for a red light running violation is $281. APAC will receive $49.50 for each
paid citation.
Under a separate agreement with the City, Lockheed Martin IMS is concurrently deploying
the red light running photo enforcement systems. At its December 4, 2000 meeting, City
Council approved the proposed installation at :.ix locations by Lockheed Martin. They have
the exclusive right to process citations for red light running violating by photo enforcement
systems by other contractors. Lockheed Martin also has first right of refusal for any
installation at a particular location.
APAC representatives met with the Public Safety Commission at their December 14, 2000
meeting. They reviewed the three locations proposed by APAC and recommend their
installation, and the City Traffic Engineer concurs. Under the first right of refusal, Lockheed
Martin has reviewed the three locations and has no interest to deploy their systems.
The list of the three locations for the field camera units by APAC are:
1. Wolfe Road at Stevens Creek Boulevard., south bound left turn.
2. Stevens Creek Boulevard at Wolfe Road., east bound left turn.
3. Wolfe Road at Homestead Road, north bound turn.
