About this file

This is a Description of Intended Single Source Purchase (PUR 7776) filed by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), specifically FDOT District 2's Traffic Operations and Intelligent Transportation Systems division. The procurement seeks a scalable advanced rail detection system utilizing acoustic sensors to detect train presence, direction, speed, and related attributes at at-grade rail crossings on arterials. The requestor is seeking 250 TRAINFO Sensors with accessories, 250 TRAINFO solar kits, 500 units of one-year extended warranty terms, 9,000 cellular data monthly terms, 500 hours of engineering and integration services, 500 hours of system support, and 36 software license monthly terms. The known vendor is TRAINFO Corporation. Prospective vendors must submit information regarding their ability to supply the described commodities and services by 5:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, to the contact listed (Jake Boozer at jake.boozer@dot.state.fl.us or by mail to 1109 S Marion Ave). The notice was posted on December 2, 2025, and will remain posted for a minimum of seven business days in accordance with Florida Statutes section 287.057(3)(c).

The estimated contract value is $4,360,000.00. FDOT justifies the single-source procurement by citing the narrow market for rail detection systems using TERL-approved detection devices and acoustic sensor technology, which eliminates false positives and false negatives inherent in camera-based systems. District Two has actively participated in developing this solution and determined no other systems with comparable accuracy have been introduced to the district. The system is intended to provide real-time and historical train presence data to first responders and road users through the FL511 app and other dissemination channels to facilitate alternative route planning during rail blockages. Commodity classification includes Traffic Control (46161500) and Temporary Engineering Services (80111614). Following vendor review, if FDOT determines the commodities and services are available only from a single source, the Department will post notice of its intended decision to enter into the single-source purchase contract on the Vendor Bid System.

Date posted: Last day for receipt of information:

This description of commodities or contractual services intended for purchase from a single source is posted in accordance with section 287.057(3)(c), Florida Statutes and will remain posted for a period of at least 7 business days.

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

46161500 Traffic Control, 80111614 - Temporary engineering services

Quantity or Term (as appropriate): 250 TRAINFO Sensors with accessories; 250 TRAINFO solar kits; 500 1-year extended warranty terms; 9,000 cellular data monthly terms; 500 hours of engineering and integration; 500 hours of system support;

36 software license monthly terms.

Requestor (division, bureau, office, individual, as appropriate): FDOT D2 - Traffic Operations - ITS - Adam Storm

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): To be used for highly accurate train detection with attributes like presence, speed, length, direction, etc. which will assist first responders to plan for alternative routes in case of blockage by train. The train presence data and predicted arrival time may be made available to all road users through FL511 app and other dissemination means.

Intended source (vendor, contractor): TRAINFO Corporation

Estimated Dollar Amount: $4,360,000.00

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): As described above, the product must be able to provide real-time and historical train presence, direction, and speed data based on detection by traditional and innovative sensors. The market for such systems based on TERL-approved detection devices is very narrow and no other systems have been introduced to District Two with such accuracy. Using acoustic sensor solves the problem of false positives and false negatives that could exist with camera-based detections. District Two has been actively involved in the development of this solution to meet the Department's current and future needs. This solution has the potential to be a fully scalable and efficiently deployable system along interconnected arterials affected by at-grade rail operations.
