18SS-153 TRAX Traffic Counters

Marion County, Florida, through its Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services, is conducting a re-solicitation for TRAX Apollyon traffic counters to be utilized by the Office of the County Engineer. The procurement seeks equipment capable of collecting both bicycle and vehicle traffic data within a single integrated dataset, with full compatibility to the County's existing TRAXPro software system for data processing and analysis. This is a re-solicitation notice posted in accordance with Florida Statute 287.057(3)(c) and the Marion County Procurement Manual, designed to identify qualified alternative vendors who can provide equivalent products or services. The posting period runs from April 29, 2026, to May 6, 2026, representing a minimum five-business-day notice window. Interested vendors were required to submit supporting documentation demonstrating their ability to provide comparable goods or services during this specified timeframe. The primary objective of this re-solicitation is to verify the availability of qualified alternatives to the incumbent sole source provider while maintaining competitive procurement principles, as Marion County's policy requires sole source designations to be reviewed and re-solicited at minimum every five years.

This procurement represents a re-solicitation of an existing sole source designation currently held by Jamar Technologies, Inc., the incumbent provider. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting eligible respondents were noted in the available documentation. The County's existing infrastructure investment in the TRAXPro software system creates a technological requirement that prospective vendors must accommodate through product compatibility. Should the re-solicitation process fail to identify qualified alternative vendors meeting the County's specifications, Marion County may reaffirm the existing sole source designation with the incumbent provider. No specific award value or budget range was disclosed in the posted materials. Vendors seeking additional information regarding this procurement were directed to contact Carrisa Crawford, Procurement Services Director, at carrisa.crawford@marionfl.org.
