The City of Fort Collins has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) 10222 for Intersection Detection Systems, seeking qualified Service Providers to supply detection equipment and related services for the city's traffic signals. The procurement requires a commercial off-the-shelf product capable of accurate detection, identification, and data analysis for both vehicles and bicycles. Proposals are due by 3:00 PM Mountain Time on October 17, 2025, and must be submitted through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System. The city currently maintains 197 traffic signals, with approximately 90% equipped with video detection and 12% using inductive loops. Evaluation criteria will focus on compliance with functional requirements, with 50% of the selection weight given to functional requirements and demonstration performance. Proposers must complete a detailed Functional Requirements Matrix and provide comprehensive information about their detection system's capabilities, including performance under various weather and lighting conditions, installation requirements, communication protocols, and technical support. The contract will be federally funded, requiring compliance with Build America Buy America and Buy America Act certifications. The firm ceiling price for year one of federally funded projects will not exceed $300,000, with an initial one-year term and potential renewals for up to four additional one-year periods. The city may award multiple contracts to different vendors. Existing detection systems include Econolite Autoscope, Traficon, and Flir technologies, with video feeds available through the Centracs Central System. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondents are mentioned, the RFP implies that vendors must have robust technical capabilities in traffic detection systems. Proposers will need to demonstrate their ability to integrate with existing infrastructure and provide comprehensive technical support. The competitive nature of the RFP suggests that vendors with advanced detection technologies, proven performance in urban traffic management, and competitive pricing will be most favorable.
