NIGP 93685: Traffic Counting Devices, Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93685 Traffic Counting Devices, Maintenance And Repair is an Item code under which state and local governments procure radar-based vehicle counting systems, traffic signal equipment modernization, traffic monitoring infrastructure, and related detection and communications systems for signalized intersections and corridor management. Recent solicitations show states and municipalities buying fully integrated counting stations with cellular connectivity and cloud hosting, traffic signal controller replacements, CCTV systems, electronic locking devices, GPS time-synchronization equipment, and detection systems—often bundled with five-year cellular data service, warranty, and cloud-hosted analytics. Issuing bodies include city transportation departments, county commissioners, transit authorities, and metropolitan planning organizations. The mix spans Texas cities (Brownsville, Temple), Florida counties (Collier, Hillsborough, Orange, Pasco), Oklahoma state purchasing, Georgia municipalities (Atlanta), Michigan cities (Detroit), and Wisconsin municipalities (Madison), with activity concentrated in Florida and Texas. Work ranges from on-call rental and maintenance agreements to capital construction projects modernizing entire signalized corridors, often federally funded through Surface Transportation Block Grant programs, Carbon Reduction Program, or FDOT grants, subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Buy America, and DBE participation requirements.

Representative recent opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26-8649R for 23 pole-mounted radar-based vehicle count stations with integrated 4G/5G cellular service, cloud hosting, and five-year data storage capability (ITB posted July 27, 2026; bids due August 26, 2026; pre-bid August 10, 2026; estimated value $688,970 over three years with grant funding under FHWA CFDA 20.205); City of Brownsville's IFB for the Traffic Monitoring and Management of Signalized Roads Project, encompassing 215 Cyber Lock electronic locking devices, 205 CCTV PTZ cameras, and 191 Econolite Cobal traffic signal controllers across signalized intersections (IFB posted April 25, 2026; bids due May 28, 2026; pre-bid May 5, 2026; funded through RGVMPO Category 7 STBG-MM Program); and City of Brownsville's Carbon Reduction Program Off-System Light Synchronization Project for radar-based detection systems, NEMA TS2 cabinets, and GPS time-synchronization at 33 intersections (IFB posted April 25, 2026; bids due May 21, 2026; pre-bid May 4, 2026). Vendors must hold FDOT or TxDOT prequalification, maintain Advanced Maintenance of Traffic (AMOT) certifications where required, and comply with federal funding compliance including Build America requirements, E-Verify, and prevailing wage standards. Activity is steady across the category with ongoing maintenance and rental agreements alongside recurring capital modernization projects tied to federal transportation and sustainability grants.
