Installation and Construction for Traffic Monitoring Sites

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) Contract #157-24 provides comprehensive traffic monitoring site installation and construction services across the state. The contract covers five types of Automatic Traffic Recorder (ATR) data collection sites, including volume data collection, length and axle classification, Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) installations, and non-intrusive sensor technologies using radar and video systems. Specifically designed for the Office of Technical Services, the IDV enables the procurement of traffic infrastructure services with capabilities to upgrade and replace approximately 25-30 in-ground ATR sites annually, focusing on detailed traffic data collection and monitoring technologies.

The IDV is awarded to Rekor Recognition Systems Inc. and will operate from April 17, 2024, to April 30, 2026, with potential extensions for two additional one-year periods. The contract is a competitive selection type with a statewide Ohio geographic coverage, and ODOT has budgeted $1.8 million annually for construction of permanent traffic count locations. The state will be divided into four regions, with vendors eligible to bid on multiple or all regions. Work will be assigned in batches, requiring minimum work order locations of 5-10 sites depending on regional coverage, with total work order values ranging from $50,000 to $100,000. The contract allows for cooperative purchasing by authorized Ohio governmental entities through the OhioBuys electronic procurement system.
