The scope of work spans turnkey toll system deployment with cloud-based management, vehicle and license-plate detection systems meeting strict accuracy thresholds, compliance with AASHTO, FHWA, and ITE standards, prevailing wage requirements, security policy adherence including NIST FIPS encryption, and multi-year operations and maintenance on a 24/7 basis. Bidders typically must demonstrate prior experience with revenue-operation toll collection systems deployed within the past five years and compliance with comprehensive technical specifications for detection accuracy, data retention, and geographic redundancy.
