Following is a compilation of quarterly progress reports by the Florida Department of Transportation Districts and Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise. District One Advanced Traffic Management Systems Lee County Advanced Transportation Management System, Phase I, Design-­‐Build Construction (412636 2 52 01) This is a design-­‐build project to complete the design and construct an upgrade to the existing signal system in Lee County, City of Fort Myers, City of North Fort Myers, and City of Bonita Springs. This advanced transportation management system (ATMS) upgrade will include new controllers and cabinets at 60 intersections, an updated communications plant, and video monitoring at 36 locations. This project will also deploy new vehicle detection stations for monitoring traffic flow throughout the traffic management system. The Lee County ATMS project will include construction of a video wall at the Lee County Traffic Operations Center (TOC). A design-­‐build contractor was selected in May 2012. Notice to Proceed (NTP) was issued on August 27, 2012. The construction duration is approximately 565 days. The project is currently at the 60 percent plans phase. Approx.
