METROPOLITAN COUNCIL
Notice of Request for Proposals (RFP) for Push Button Annunciator System Project
Contract Number 26P137
The Metropolitan Council is soliciting proposals from qualified annunciator system vendors. This is a replacement project for the push-button bus arrival annunciator system at a subset of transit stops and transit centers. Transit stop annunciators provide a clear, audible description of next bus arrival status to people who are vision-impaired or simply prefer spoken audio information to text display.
Transit stop annunciators are a necessary component of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance for transit stop design. The services will be provided over a three-year period. The intent of the Council is to award in two phases: Pilot Award and Implementation Award. Note that each phase may be awarded to multiple vendors.
The anticipated schedule for this procurement is as follows:
