FY27 Traffic Signal Materials

Ada County Highway District is soliciting sealed bids under ITB TO27-06 for Fiscal Year 2027 traffic signal materials, with questions due November 12, 2026 at 4:30 p.m. and bids due November 18, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. local time through ACHD's eProcurement portal. Bidders may submit for individual schedules, but each selected schedule must include pricing for all items with nonzero quantities.

The six schedules cover signal heads and LED inserts (Schedule A, 30 to 100 units per line item), LED retrofit kits (Schedule B, 250 to 2,000 units), video vehicle detection (Schedules C and D), radar vehicle detection (Schedule E, zero listed quantities), and accessible pedestrian signal units (Schedule F, 150 units). Materials must comply with ITE, NEMA TS-1 and TS-2, MUTCD, and FCC requirements. Bidders must submit proof of licensure, a completed Vendor Questionnaire, acknowledgment of all addenda, and a Buy America Certificate.

Warranty requirements are specific. LED ball modules carry five-year coverage against manufacturing defects and ITE minimum intensity compliance. Video detection systems require three-year warranties from shipment with lifetime free software support, and radar systems require a minimum two-year warranty with free software updates. Equipment must meet NEMA TS-2 environmental standards across -30°F to +150°F.

Deliveries go to the ACHD Traffic Operations Center at 12590 West Franklin Road, Boise, Idaho 83709, within 90 calendar days of each Purchase Order. ACHD may place multiple orders, extend the contract term, and order additional units within 180 days of award at the same terms and prices.

Award goes to the qualified bidder submitting the lowest compliant bid price that meets specifications, with unit prices governing over total prices in discrepancies. Bid security equals 10% of the total bid amount by certified check, cashier's check, or bid bond. The successful bidder may be required to furnish supply, material, payment, and performance bonds, each equal to 100% of total contract value, upon the Notice of Award, and must execute an agreement within 15 days of award.
