About this file

This is a Response to Offeror Questions document issued by the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) on May 23, 2026, addressing inquiries submitted regarding RFP 26RFP19813 for an Active Traffic Management System (ATMS). The RFP solicits a vendor to furnish and operationally deploy a statewide ATMS to monitor, control, and coordinate intelligent transportation system assets across SDDOT's network. Key system components to be integrated include 190 CCTV cameras, 133 environmental sensor stations, 93 dynamic message signs, variable speed limit systems, automatic vehicle location systems on 321 snowplows, and existing traffic detection and control equipment. The system must be delivered as a cloud-based, contractor-hosted service with 99.9% minimum availability and operational deployment required by January 31, 2027, with performance extending through January 31, 2028 and optional extension through January 31, 2031. The proposal submission deadline was June 5, 2026, at 3:00 PM CDT, with written inquiries accepted through May 22, 2026. This document represents the third set of inquiries and responses distributed to all potential offerors who submitted letters of intent.

The inquiries address critical technical and contractual matters, including clarification that on-premise edge computing components will be located at SDDOT headquarters in Pierre; confirmation that proposers must submit three separate proposals for contractor-hosted, state-hosted, and state cloud-hosted deployment scenarios; and negotiation regarding intellectual property ownership, with SDDOT agreeing to limit the IP ownership clause to custom deliverables and state-specific configurations rather than the core ATMS software platform. Additional responses confirm that the Parsons MDC system will remain in place with direct interface to the new ATM system strongly preferred; the Parsons 96 controllers and Milestone camera management system will continue operating; SDDOT's GIS will serve as the authoritative highway geometry source with updates provided monthly or event-driven; and the contact for additional inquiries is Dave Huft, ATMS Program Manager, at dave.huft@state.sd.us. No pricing, set-aside restrictions, or incumbent vendor information is disclosed in this document.
