Petaluma Fire Department and the City's Traffic Engineering Division; and
WHEREAS, the Petaluma TSP Project will utilize a variety of funding sources,
including City Traffic Impact Fees (deemed eligible and included in the list of eligible projects),
MTC's Transit Performance Incentive funds, and TDA (transit funds) Capital funding to deliver
first the 14 intersections of McDowell Boulevard (Caulfield to Old Redwood Highway) as a Pilot
Corridor, then, if the project performs as expected and meets its goals, a future Phase II will
expand the TSP to other intersections within Petaluma; and
WHEREAS, City of Petaluma is utilizing and has justified using a "sole source"
procurement to ensure that the new equipment works seamlessly with the existing GTT

Corridor"; and
