178-25 Traffic Monitoring Collection Devices & Related Items

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking proposals for a 12-month contract to purchase a variety of traffic monitoring related devices and equipment. This includes side-fired radar detectors, traffic counters, AI collection devices, communication devices, cabinets and related hardware, poles, solar/charging systems, and batteries. The purpose is to ensure compatibility with ODOT's existing Automatic Traffic Recorder (ATR) infrastructure. ODOT is requesting pricing on a per-item basis, with all freight and delivery charges to be included. Vendors must also provide pricing for maintenance of traffic (MOT) services during equipment installation. Proposals are due by March 28, 2024, and deliveries will be required within 60-120 calendar days depending on the equipment.

The contract is open to participation by various state and local government entities in Ohio through ODOT's Cooperative Purchasing Program, including political subdivisions, state universities, and other agencies. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The contract will be awarded to all responsive and responsible vendors, though there are no guarantees on purchase order quantities as they are undefined. ODOT reserves the right to obtain quotes from all awarded vendors to achieve the best pricing. No incumbent vendor information or budget details are provided.
