Explain: As part of the overall project between Southern Utah University (SUU) and Lake Mead NRA (LAKE) SUU has created a Web based application that collects all reported data from existing traffic counters employed at LAKE and the existing traffic counters were purchased under a PILOT Phase of the project with SUU. The existing traffic counter equipment, StatTrak Data Collector, was procured from All Traffic Solutions. All Traffic Solutions utilizes a Web Based Application, , which provides all the system data to SUU�s Web Application. The Web Application from All Traffic Solutions is a patented solution, and All Traffic is the only vendor that provides the data in this format. If LAKE were to procure equipment from a different vendor, it would require the complete system redesign of the SUU Web Application and data tracking systems. This would incur substantial additional cost to the government for this program. It is int he best interest of the government to continue utilizing the current StatTrak equipment.
