Red Light Safety Enforcement System

Orange County, Florida is seeking proposals for a comprehensive Red Light Safety Enforcement System through RFP #Y23-192, targeting a fully integrated traffic safety management solution. The procurement involves deploying traffic infraction detector equipment at designated arterial intersections, with capabilities to cover one to four approaches at each location and up to seven lanes per approach. The initial project scope includes establishing baseline counts at 40 candidate intersections, with 80 total approaches selected for camera installation. The contract will span four years, with potential renewal for three additional two-year periods. Vendors must provide all hardware, software, installation, maintenance, operation, and back-office processing of violations, including processing violation data, providing secure web-based viewing capabilities, mailing citations, supporting hearing and adjudication processes, and maintaining detailed statistical reporting. Electronic proposals are due by 4:00 PM local time on Tuesday, July 11, 2023, and must be submitted through the OpenGov Procurement portal. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference was held virtually on May 22, 2023, and potential respondents were required to submit questions by May 24, 2023, at 5:00 PM EST to ana.villalona@ocfl.net.

The county has established a 24% Minority/Women Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation goal for this contract, with bonus points available for hiring dislocated workers and utilizing Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) businesses. Funding will be subject to annual appropriation by the Board of County Commissioners, with violation penalties distributed between the county and various state funds. The fee structure will be based on monthly fees per intersection approach, with additional fees for certified mail processing and litigation support. Respondents are required to create a free account with OpenGov and submit responses in common file formats such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF, with uploaded files needing to be uncorrupted, non-password-protected, and of sufficient quality (at least 150 dpi) for clear reading. Technical support for the OpenGov platform is available via chat, email (support@procurenow.com), or phone (1-855-680-4747) during business hours. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive nature of the system and the extensive technological requirements suggest a significant investment in traffic safety infrastructure and violation management technology.
