About this file
This is a Sole Source Form and Exemption Revision Form from Sarasota County Public Works for a contract with Rhythm Engineering, LLC regarding the InSync Adaptive Traffic Control System. The procurement is for maintenance of existing InSync systems, including equipment, parts, repairs, and annual 24/7/365 remote technical and software support. The original contract (SS 1770) is being renewed for a three-year period from 07/27/25 to 07/26/28, with an estimated expenditure of $200,000 per fiscal year. The contract covers equipment installed along the University Parkway corridor and throughout Sarasota County.
Rhythm Engineering is identified as the sole manufacturer and provider of the InSync adaptive traffic control system, which is protected by five U.S. patents. The company emphasizes that no other entity is authorized to provide the system or its configuration services, and no alternative adaptive traffic control system can be integrated to deliver equivalent efficiency. FDOT originally paid 50% of the system cost, with Sarasota County covering the remaining 50%, and the system is now being maintained under this sole source procurement. The justification for sole source status is based on the system's proprietary nature and the inability to interchange parts or services with other manufacturers.

RE: Rhythm Engineering as the sole provider of the In|Sync Adaptive Traffic Control System
Rhythm Engineering, LLC provides In|Sync, the only real-time adaptive traffic control system (ATCS) available on the market that – through both hardware and software application – digitizes signal operations and proactively optimizes signalization both locally and globally. This unique technology, designed to increase efficiency at signalized intersections and along traffic corridors, is protected by five United States patents: numbers 8,050,854; 8,103,436; 8,253,592;
8,653,989; and 8,922,392.
Rhythm Engineering is the sole manufacturer and provider of the In|Sync adaptive traffic control system. It is not manufactured, licensed or distributed by any other entity. We often work with contractors to install the equipment (rather than agency staff); however, the In|Sync equipment and our associated services, including software configuration, technical support, software updates, and adaptive engineering services, always come directly from Rhythm. The In|Sync system is installed and active currently at intersections along the University Parkway corridor and is being installed throughout Sarasota County, Florida.
This letter is to confirm that Rhythm Engineering is the sole provider of the In|Sync ATCS and its associated configuration services, that no other entity is authorized to provide the In|Sync ATCS and its associated configuration services, and that no other ATCS can replace or be integrated with In|Sync to deliver the same efficiency gains and overall results.
Any questions or if further information is necessary please let me know.
