☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the Contra Costa Transportation Authority, in an amount not to exceed $26,000 for subscription services to StreetLight Data, Inc.’s database of geospatial materials for traffic and transportation analysis purposes, for the period November 22, 2023 through July 20, 2024, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Measure J Funds
BACKGROUND:
In 2021, the CCTA executed an agreement with StreetLight Data, Inc. to access their subscription service and on-demand transportation analytic data. CCTA has offered local agencies access to the StreetLight Data, Inc. subscription by entering into a Memorandum of Understanding with CCTA. Public Works staff reviewed the subscription service and associated transportation data and determined that access to the data will be beneficial for use by County Staff. To participate in the subscription service, the County must be added to CCTA’s MOU with all other participating local agencies. The cost of the contract is a prorated amount of $26,000 for the period of November 22, 2023 through July 20, 2024.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Public Works Department is not authorized to execute this MOU, the County will not gain access to the subscription services available to CCTA and other local agencies from StreetLight Data, Inc.
