摘要：	This local evaluation report describes the progress achieved during Phase 1A of the Montgomery ITS project. Phase 1A consisted of the installation of fiber optic cable over a 22.25 km. stretch of U.S. 80. The hypothesis of the evaluation states that the use of in-house forces (state personnel) to install the fiber optic cable was less costly than letting the work out as a construction contract to a private firm. As the scope of the Montgomery ITS was rather limited the items reported on in addition to the unit costs include a statement of lessons learned and a brief discussion of institutional issues. The unit cost for the aerial 36 strand fiber optic cable installation was $8,083.28 per km. The data in the ITS Unit Costs Database was insufficient to draw any meaningful comparison with the unit costs associated with the Montgomery Phase 1A project. With no cost comparison possible, the most apparent lesson learned from the Montgomery Phase 1A project is the success that the performing agency feels is associated with the project. The use of state forces to build the foundation of the Montgomery ITS has created a sense of ownership that should result in a confidence in the system as additional project phases are implemented. Through the knowledge and experience gained by installing the fiber optic cable (and initiating the Montgomery ITS), the 6th Division of ALDOT can share its experience and technical abilities with other ALDOT divisions as well as with the City of Montgomery as they begin to implement their portions of the Montgomery ITS.
