Subject: Traffic Counters - Amended Request
Date: March 21, 1997
Lt. Garlo submitted a memo on March 19, 1997, requesting that the Village purchase two (2)
ITC-ACE tube traffic counters. I concur with his choice of counters. Greater Traffic Company
loaned me one unit to run a seven day test in February. (I will be providing you with an updated
spreadsheet showing those results.)
I am requesting that we purchase four of the units rather than the two requested by Lt. Garlo.
The additional counters will give us the ability to do intersection studies, multi-lane roads, and
multiple locations to track traffic flow patterns.
Please amend the request as follows:
4 ITC-ACE Tube Counters @ $945.00 each $3,780.00
4 100 foot lengths of road tube @ $ 41.00 each 164.00
1 Taslite software package @ $450.00 450.00 •
Total Request $4,394.00

Subject: Traffic Counting Devices
The NuMetric traffic count cards we had been utilizing.are no longer operable and
unable to be repaired. The only alternative is to purchase a conventional traffic counting
device consisting of the typical control box and air hoses. This system is extremely
reliable and will perform every task we would require. There are two companies
manufacturing these devices, Control Specialists and The Greater Traffic Company.
These companies were recommended to us by both Palm Beach County Engineers and
Florida Department of Transportation, and both companies have comparable prices. I
attended training seminars and met with area sales representatives from both
companies. Based on the information obtained I recommend we purchase the following.
This recommendation will allow us to continually provide traffic studies which include
volume, speed and vehicle classification data for any specified periods of time.
Greater Traffic Company (Jamar Technologies, Inc.)
Two ITC-ACE tube counters at $945.00 each.
Taslite software $450.00
Two 100 foot lengths of road tube at $41.00 each.
Total cost is $2,422.00
