NIGP 94075: Signal System Installation

NIGP 94075 Signal System Installation is an Item code under which state and local governments procure the design, furnishing, and installation of traffic signal equipment and infrastructure at new or upgraded signalized intersections. State and local buyers are soliciting comprehensive traffic signal modernization across mast arm poles, signal heads, pedestrian signals, detection systems (radar and loop), traffic controllers, communications equipment including fiber optic infrastructure, connected vehicle roadside units supporting C-V2X and DSRC standards, GPS time synchronization, CCTV monitoring, electrical conduit and cable, and associated civil work such as curb ramps and pavement markings. Issuing bodies include cities (Brownsville, Dallas, Tallahassee, Temple, Olathe, Farragut), county governments (Cameron County, Pasco County, Lee County Port Authority), and independent school districts where signal work intersects right-of-way projects. Recent procurements span IFBs, ITBs, and RFBs with response windows of 30 to 50 days; many projects carry federal funding through the Surface Transportation Block Grant-Metropolitan Mobility Program, the Carbon Reduction Program, the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program, and TxDOT allocations, bringing Davis-Bacon wage requirements, Buy America provisions, E-Verify mandates, and federal debarment certifications into play. Texas municipalities (Brownsville, Dallas, Temple) dominate the recent-opportunity set, with secondary activity in Florida (Pasco County, Lee County, Tallahassee) and Tennessee (Farragut). Bid bonds of 5 percent of bid amount and performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of contract price are standard requirements.

Representative recent procurements include the City of Brownsville's 12th Street Traffic Signal Improvement Project (IFB 145-26-EPW, due May 26, 2026), a $3.78 million-plus STBG-MM-funded modernization spanning ten signalized intersections with over 100 line items for poles, LED heads, pedestrian signals, fiber, CCTV with artificial intelligence capability, C-V2X roadside units, and radar detection requiring TxDOT prequalification and HUB subcontracting plans; the City of Dallas Department of Transportation's Bond Group 5 traffic signal construction at three intersections (IFB CIZ26TPW4001, due June 12, 2026), a Davis-Bacon project with 142 line items, 240-day performance windows, and mandatory SBE participation under the DRIVE Policy with pre-bid meeting May 28, 2026; and the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners' State Road 56 and LaJuana Boulevard intersection traffic signal (IFB IFBKM26086, due June 16, 2026), encompassing a four-pole box-span installation with pedestrian signals, lighting, and extensive coordination with the Florida Department of Transportation. All three involve substantial technical specification packages, utility coordination, and adherence to state DOT standard specifications and special provisions.
