Data Purchase of Non-intrusive Traffic Monitoring Collection Sites

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has established an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) for non-intrusive traffic monitoring data collection services. This contract enables the procurement of advanced traffic data collection technologies, specifically Wavetronix Smart Sensor HD systems and classification video sensors. The IDV covers comprehensive traffic monitoring services across Ohio, including vehicle classification, volume, speed, and turning movement counts. The contract is designed to support statewide traffic data collection needs, with services spanning three geographic regions encompassing ODOT Districts 1, 2, 7, 8 (Region 1), Districts 5, 6, 9, 10 (Region 2), and Districts 3, 4, 11, 12 (Region 3).

The IDV is awarded to Rekor Recognition Systems Inc., specifically through its subsidiary Southern Traffic Services, with a contract period from May 29, 2025, to May 31, 2027, and potential extension options for two additional one-year increments. As a competitive selection contract, it covers approximately 61 stations with 70 sensors statewide, with pricing structured in tiers based on the number of data collection sites. The contract requires vendors to maintain traffic monitoring sites, collect and submit daily traffic data, perform calibrations, and ensure high-quality data transmission to ODOT's data processing system. Vendors must demonstrate at least five years of traffic data collection experience and meet specific technical and operational requirements.
