NOTICE AND INSTRUCTIONS

1. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners’ Procurement Services Division, (the “County”), in collaboration with the Transportation Management Services(the “Department”), is issuing the following Request for Information (RFI) in order to seek information and gain an understanding to fulfill Adaptive Traffic Control Systems that reduce congestion and improve traffic flow at and through signalized intersections throughout Collier County.

2. This RFI is a non-bidding method seeking information. Should the County determine to proceed with formal solicitation based on the responses to this RFI a formal solicitation will be handled in accordance with Collier County

Procurement Ordinance and procedures.

3. The County requests that interested companies, at a minimum, provide responses to the provisions listed under the

“Information to Provide.” Do not include any pricing information.

4. Information provided as a result of this RFI is subject to the State of Florida Public Records Law.

5. The RFI shall be submitted electronically on the Collier County Procurement Division Online Bidding System website: https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/collier-county-fl.

6. All questions regarding this RFI must be submitted online on the Collier County Procurement Services Division

Online Bidding System website: https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/collier-county-fl. All responses to questions will be posted on the website with electronic notification to all interested companies.

PURPOSE

1. The purpose of this RFI is to seek input and gain an understanding of the Adaptive Traffic Control Systems that reduce congestion and improve traffic flow at and through signalized intersections throughout Collier County.

https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/collier-county-fl https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/collier-county-fl

2. Interested companies are invited to respond to this RFI outlining their solution for an adaptive traffic control system that is capable of optimizing phase timing, cycle length, sequence and offsets of signalized intersections across three intersecting arterials, taking into account that the County is open to hearing from interested companies offering different points of.

BACKGROUND

Collier County Transportation Management Services Department seeks to implement an Adaptive Traffic Control

(ATC) system at intersections across three arterial roadways. The ATC system will optimize traffic signal operations, improve mobility, and enhance safety through real-time adaptive signal adjustments based on traffic conditions.

Collier County roadways should have signalized intersections timing updated at minimum every five (5) years to progress arterial traffic and minimize delay. The potential future project will initially consist of traffic signalization timing optimization of 13 intersections utilizing the ATC system (see Attachment A – Location List and Attachment B –

Adaptive Traffic Control System Project Map).

Collier County is seeking information regarding commercially available adaptive traffic control systems (ATCS) that could potentially be deployed along a corridor consisting of 13 signalized intersections.
