FDOT District One - LeeTran Transit Signal Priority - Transit On-Board Unit

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District One is procuring 12 dual-mode/dual-active OnBoard Units (OBUs) for its US 41 LeeTran Transit Signal Priority project. The project will deploy and implement a Connected Vehicle-based transit signal priority system along a 6.44-mile corridor of US 41 in Lee County, Florida. The OBUs must be capable of interpreting and transmitting transit route-specific information to a separate system via Ethernet port for use in requesting priority through configured intersections. Bidders must provide the OBUs, a 1-year warranty, and 1-year technical phone support. Bids are due by February 20, 2023 at 9:00 AM, with a public bid opening at 11:00 AM the same day. The intended award decision will be posted on February 20, 2023 at 2:00 PM. Pricing must be firm, net, delivered prices, F.O.B. destination. The procurement is subject to a 1% MyFloridaMarketPlace transaction fee, and bidders must be registered in the state's MyFloridaMarketPlace system.

The procurement does not involve any set-asides, and there is no incumbent vendor identified. A 5% in-state preference may be applied to responsive bids from out-of-state vendors unless the vendor's home state provides an equivalent preference. The contract value is not explicitly stated, but the procurement is for the supply of 12 OBUs and associated technical support, which suggests a budget in the range of tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
