The proposed CIP runs from Oct. 1, 2024, through Sept. 30, 2029. In total, it would allocate $490 million for 161 projects in the next five years. Of those projects, here’s what’s been set aside for IT:
- $7.5 million for “traffic signalization — fiber optic,” which would provide communications to traffic signals along selected arterials, allowing for remote assessment of signal issues, automated warnings for power outages, video capability and remote real-time observation of intersections and corridors
- $1.7 million for “Aruba wireless replacement,” which would include a complete Wi-Fi replacement and overhaul
- $1.2 million for a “building automation system” and hardware and software installations
- $750,000 to update and upgrade “fire detection and alarm systems,” plus any other related hardware and software
- $350,000 to purchase and install switches and update and upgrade aging and end-of-life equipment
- $250,000 to replace data network equipment, including switches, routers, firewalls and servers
