Commodity or Service Required (commodity class and group, manufacturer, model, and description, as appropriate):

41113700: Electronic and communication measuring and testing instruments; 81112217: Industry Specific Software

Maintenance; 81112210: System Management Sofware Maintenance; 73152109: Industrial Weight Scale Maintenance and Rental Service; 46171640 – Automatic traffic monitoring system; 81102201 – Traffic engineering; 81101510 – Highway engineering; 81101700 – Electrical and electronic engineering; and 81101703 – Engineering testing services

Quantity or Term (as appropriate): 5 years

Requestor (division, bureau, office, individual, as appropriate): Eric Griffin, Transportation Data Analytics Office

Performance and/or Design Requirements (intended use, function or application, compatibility etc. requirements; reference to policy, rule, statute or other act of the Legislature, etc., as appropriate): The State Materials Office and Transportation Data Analytics Office have collaborated to begin a research project on a concrete test road on SR 200/US 301 in Clay County Florida. The test road will allow for a comprehensive in-service performance assessment of new/emerging concrete pavement technologies and innovative concepts while considering the interaction between factors such as traffic loading, design features, material properties, construction practices, and environmental conditions. Due to high importance of the accurate traffic loads for this concrete pavement research, FDOT is planning to install a multi-sensor array of bending plates in the Northbound direction in PCC pavement (WIM 1 site). Then use this same location as a new Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) sample site and install additional WIM sensors in the asphalt pavement in the Southbound direction. This will be a comparison study of WIM performance for these sensor arrays and investigate the costs, benefits, and the effect of multi-sensor arrays on WIM data accuracy. Therefore, the plan is to install multi-sensor array of quartz piezo sensors in the asphalt pavement in the Southbound direction (WIM 2 site). The VectorSense™ tire sensor suite provides vehicle and traffic data including lane position information, single/dual and super single tire measurement and identification of low pressure tires, all at highway speed, for use in Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO), Toll Road Operations, and Vehicle Safety and Traffic Data Collection applications.

Intended source (vendor, contractor): International Road Dynamics Corp.

Estimated Dollar Amount: $228,120.00

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate): International Road Dynamics (IRD) is the sole manufacturer and service provider of the IRD Series WIM and VectorSense Data Collection Systems and Software within North America.
