Request for Information: Video Mirror Solutions for Transit Vehicles

The Broward County Transportation Department (BCT) in Florida has issued Request for Information (RFI) No. TRN2132227F1 to identify qualified vendors capable of supplying and installing video mirror solutions on transit vehicles. This is a market survey and informational solicitation rather than a formal request for pricing or a binding purchase commitment. The primary objective is to evaluate vendor capabilities and product viability through a demonstration and testing phase. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to install video mirror systems on a minimum of three specific transit vehicles: one 2020 or newer Gillig 40-foot low-floor bus, one 2020 or newer New Flyer 60-foot articulated low-floor bus, and one 2020 or newer Motor Coach Industries 45-foot motorcoach. The testing and evaluation period will extend up to ninety (90) business days, during which equipped buses will operate in normal revenue service to gather operator feedback and performance data. Vendors are responsible for all associated costs, including installation, maintenance parts, and equipment support throughout the testing period. Responses must be submitted electronically through the county's electronic bidding system with a deadline of May 4, 2026, and BCT will evaluate all submissions at its sole discretion to determine which video mirror products are approved for subsequent testing and evaluation.

The RFI documentation does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions limiting eligible respondents to particular organization types. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing video mirror infrastructure is referenced in the available materials. Insurance requirements are noted as pending and will be detailed in subsequent communications or formal solicitations. No award value or budget range is provided, as this RFI is explicitly not a commitment to purchase and is intended solely to inform BCT's decision regarding whether to issue a future formal solicitation for video mirror solutions. The outcome of this market survey will determine BCT's next steps in the procurement process and the scope of any subsequent full solicitation.
