Digital Transit Display/ Sidewalk Information Touch Screen

The District Department of Transportation's (DDOT) Office of Information Technology and Innovation (OITI) is soliciting competitive bids for a digital transit technology installation project. The procurement seeks a contractor to complete two specific technology deployments: first, installing and configuring a digital transit display (DTD) at 1100 4th Street, SW, Washington, DC, and second, configuring a free-standing sidewalk information touch screen (SITS) at the Eastern Market Metro Station plaza located at 701 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE. The contract opportunity was officially posted on February 8, 2016, with a proposal submission deadline of June 6, 2016. Prospective contractors will need to demonstrate technical expertise in digital display systems, touch screen technology, and municipal transit information integration. The ideal vendor should have proven experience in urban technology installations, strong project management capabilities, and the ability to implement complex technological solutions in public transportation infrastructure. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on technical competence, implementation strategy, system reliability, and overall project approach.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, municipal contracts in the District of Columbia typically encourage participation from local, small, and disadvantaged business enterprises. The contract appears to be focused on technology infrastructure enhancement for public transit information systems, suggesting potential opportunities for technology vendors, digital display specialists, and transit information system integrators. The scope of work implies a relatively specialized procurement that may require specific technical qualifications and potentially limited competition. No specific budget range or award value is mentioned in the available documentation. Given the precise location specifications and technical requirements, the project seems designed for vendors with specific urban technology deployment capabilities, particularly those experienced in municipal transit information systems and interactive public display technologies.
