This is a letter of support from Benesch (formerly Tindale Oliver) addressed to Hillsborough County, Florida, regarding crash data management and support services. Benesch has provided traffic crash data management services to Hillsborough County for the past 16 years. The services include automated crash locating to county roads and intersections, top crash location lists, analysis of crashes within county jurisdictions, and automated collision diagramming. Data sources include the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV), Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), and local law enforcement agencies. Information is integrated with Hillsborough County data layers including roads, land use, and zoning. The services are delivered through a web-based application called WebCDMS that enables multiple users and departments to access crash data for daily operations. The company also provides customer service and training to county staff.

Hillsborough County intends to award a sole source procurement to Alfred Benesch & Company for a three-year period at an estimated cost of $97,200.00. The procurement is classified as sole source under Section 3-205(2)(b) of the County's Procurement Policy because Alfred Benesch & Company is the sole provider of the existing integrated WebCDMS system with the required salient features. The county reserves the right to extend the contract period, adjust the scope of services based on changing conditions, and increase the award accordingly. Challenges to this sole source procurement must be submitted by the specified close date through EUNA Procurement, with an award expected following the close date absent any valid challenges.
