SUMMARY: This purchase order is for the acquisition of traffic signals and
component parts to synchronize the signalization on University Drive (Highway 380).
A list of intersections is included in the background information.

The project scope consist of construction of interconnect wire utilizing existing
utility poles. This will connect the U.S. 380 (University Drive) I.H. 35, Bonnie
Brae, Malone Street, Fulton Street, Alice Street, Carroll Boulevard, Elm Street and
U.S. 77 (Locust Street) traffic signals. The controller will be replaced at the
Fulton, Alice and Elm streets intersections. The controller and cabinet will be
replaced at the Bonnie Brae and 1-35 intersections. Signal monitor and harness will
be installed at the I.H. 35, Bonnie Brae and Carroll intersections. This construction
will allow the controliers at these intersections to be linked together and set for
appropriate timing progression sequence.

by specific patents and copyrights. Paradigm is the only source for Traffic
Controllers compatible with our closed loop system.
