INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The Interact City software holds immense benefits for the City of Denton. The software enables intelligent
street lighting, allowing for adaptive lighting schedules that reduce energy consumption and contribute to
a safer and more secure urban environment. Moreover, Interact City facilitates efficient resource allocation
through its comprehensive monitoring capabilities, enabling Denton Municipal Electric (DME) to make
informed infrastructure development and maintenance decisions. By embracing the Interact City software,
Denton stands to create a smarter, more connected city, fostering a higher quality of life for its residents
while simultaneously promoting environmental responsibility and economic efficiency. Since 2019, Signify
has successfully provided DME with cost-effective software that meets all functional requirements.
Additionally, Signify has no distributors of its maintenance and support for its Interact City Software, thus
it qualifies as a sole source.
DME proposes the approval and collaboration with Signify North America Corporation for the continued
maintenance and support of the Interact City software. Signify has consistently delivered high-quality
services, ensuring the reliability and efficiency of the Interact City software. They have demonstrated
unparalleled expertise in the field of smart city solutions and have consistently proven their commitment to
excellence in providing maintenance and support services. Their extensive experience in developing and
maintaining innovative software solutions positions them as the ideal partner to ensure the seamless
functioning and optimization of the Interact City platform.
