The current contract under Request for Proposal Number 9117-16-7060 will be ending on February 28, 2021. This contract provides 24/7 operations for dispatching emergency transportation maintenance calls (i.e. electronic traffic control devices, traffic signs, right-of-way issues), providing traffic incident management on the City's roadways and traveller information to the public. This non-competitive bridge contract will provide the essential traffic management services until a new competitive contract can tendered and awarded. Further, this extension will provide enough time for the new contractor to hire, train and transition themselves to take over the operation of the RESCU Transportation Operations Centre on October 1, 2021.
