of the City of Petaluma, California
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PETALUMA APPROVING THE
PURCHASE OF TRANSPARITY ADAPTIVE TRAFFIC SIGNAL TIMING SOFTWARE FROM
SWARCO MCCAIN, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $76,252.00 AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE
WHEREAS, Petaluma has coordinated traffic signal timing in place across several intersections, which are
currently programmed with a fixed timing plan; and
WHEREAS, traffic signal coordination in these corridors could be improved by leveraging real-time data by
switching to adaptive signal coordination; and
WHEREAS, the Transparity Adaptive software is needed to implement adaptive signal coordination; and
WHEREAS, SWARCO McCain is the manufacturer of much of our traffic equipment and offers Transparity
Adaptive software, which would seamlessly integrate with our controllers and central management system; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the City of Petaluma Charter and Municipal Code, California Public, and
other applicable laws, the vendor is the original software manufacturer that is not interchangeable with similar
software of another manufacturer that would be compatible with our current equipment; and
WHEREAS, the purchase complies with Petaluma Municipal Code Chapter 4.04 as this is a sole source
purchase; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends the City execute a purchase order with SWARCO McCain, Inc. for new
Transparity Adaptive Software.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Petaluma as follows:
1. Declares that the above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated into this Resolution as findings of
the Petaluma City Council.
2. Approves the purchase of Transparity Adaptive software in the amount of $76,252.00 from SWARCO
McCain, Inc.
3. Finds that the purchase of the Transparity Adaptive software from SWARCO was a sole source purchase as
vendor is the original software manufacturer that is not interchangeable with similar software of another
manufacturer that would be compatible with our current equipment, and in compliance with the City’s
purchasing requirements.
4. Finds that this project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), in that purchasing software does not meet CEQA's
definition of a “project” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical
change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. If this
action was a project it would exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) and
Section 15303 (Minor Construction) as the software would be installed to our already existing signals
