This is a Scope of Work document for the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) related to traffic signal timing optimization and coordination services. The project involves analyzing and optimizing traffic signal timing plans across multiple intersections within Maryland jurisdictions to improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, and enhance overall transportation efficiency. The services requested include signal timing studies, coordination analysis, field data collection, and the development of optimized timing plans using industry-standard traffic engineering software and methodologies. The contractor must conduct comprehensive traffic studies at designated intersection locations, document existing conditions, perform timing optimization analyses, and deliver detailed reports with recommended signal timing adjustments. The contract term is anticipated to be twelve months from the notice to proceed, with potential renewal options for up to two additional one-year periods based on performance and funding availability. Specific response deadlines and proposal submission dates should be verified through the official solicitation documents, as this scope establishes the technical requirements and deliverables expected from qualified contractors.

The pricing structure for this engagement will be based on a cost-plus-fixed-fee or time-and-materials model, depending on final contract negotiations, with all labor rates and equipment costs subject to Maryland prevailing wage requirements where applicable. The contractor must possess appropriate professional certifications, including Professional Engineer (PE) licensure in Maryland or reciprocal agreement status, and demonstrate relevant experience with traffic signal timing optimization projects. Funding for this project will be derived from MDOT's capital improvement budget, with potential supplementary support from federal transportation grants or state highway user revenues. No incumbent contractor restrictions apply, allowing open competition among qualified firms. The work environment will require coordination with local traffic management agencies, field operations during various weather conditions, and adherence to all Maryland transportation safety and operational protocols.
