QUESTION 5

Must vendors include professional onsite installation at every airport as part of the estimate? Do we have the freedom to arrange with airports what works for them? In case it's the latter, we will still include a provision for installation services at a percentage of airports.

ANSWER 5

Give an estimate for all 105 public use airports AND an estimate for only half (52) airports. Many of the smaller airports have 1 or 2 staff at the airport

Is it safe to assume that all airports target of this deployment will have an available internet connection? Or, as with installation, shall we include a provision for a retain percentage of airports without any form of connectivity?

ANSWER 6

Again, give an estimate for all 105 public use airports AND an estimate for only half (52) airports. Many of the smaller rural airports do not have internet.

QUESTION 7

Tasks 3 and 5: Can you tell us a bit more about the "FDOT utilized software" that the vendor would need to target for data visualization/dashboards? Examples: Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, QlikView, specific kinds of mobile devices, analytics platform of choice:

Snowflake, Azure or Amazon Web Services?

ANSWER 7

This will be covered during the Task 1 Kickoff Meeting. This is to ensure that the Dashboard and its data will be displayed via a platform that is accessible to both the FDOT Central Office as well as all of the participating airports’ managerial staff.
