Title
AUTHORIZE the Chief Executive Officer to award a 30-month, firm-fixed-price Contract No. PS125493000 to JMDiaz, Inc., for the design, development, and implementation of a cloud-based Transit Signal Priority (TSP) system on portions of the NextGen Tier One network in the County of Los Angeles in the amount of $2,443,389, subject to the resolution of any properly submitted protest(s), if any.
