ECO-Counter Urban and Mobile Multi, DataNet, API/Web Dashboard, Automatic Data Transmission

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), specifically the Office of Transportation Data & Analytics, is pursuing a single-source procurement for non-motorized monitoring equipment and services from Eco-Counter, Inc. The procurement focuses on ECO-Counter Urban and Mobile Multi DataNet systems, which include electronic counters, camera-based vision systems for automated data collection, software maintenance, and electrical equipment maintenance services. These innovative counting solutions utilize PYRO passive infrared and ZELT inductive loop sensors to monitor and differentiate between pedestrians and cyclists, with reported accuracy above 80%. The systems feature vandal-proof galvanized steel housing, waterproof components, two-year battery life, and automatic 3G/GSM data transmission. The procurement will cover a 5-year contract period, with vendor information required to be submitted by 5:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, to the specified email address. The submission must detail the vendor's ability to supply the described services, and FDOT will review and determine if the commodities or services are available from only a single source.

The procurement is specifically for Leon County and appears to be exclusively available to Eco-Counter, Inc., who is identified as the sole distributor of these technologies in the United States and holds the relevant copyrights with no authorized resellers. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. The total estimated contract value is $4,900,000.00, covering the full 5-year term. The single-source justification is predicated on Eco-Counter's unique technological capabilities and exclusive distribution rights. The Transportation Data & Analytics office has already conducted performance testing and validated the effectiveness of these bicycle and pedestrian counting systems. Integration requirements suggest compatibility with existing data collection infrastructure and the ability to provide API/Web Dashboard access and automatic data transmission capabilities. Potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive technical expertise in non-motorized transportation monitoring technologies.
