Road Weather Flood Sensor for Clay County

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District Two, is pursuing a single source purchase from Aware Monitoring Systems for three Traffic Control water level sensors to be deployed in Clay County. The procurement focuses on acquiring Road Weather Flood Sensors to support the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization's water level monitoring efforts along major roadway systems. The primary objective is to provide real-time water level information that will enable local agencies and the department to respond effectively to roadway flooding conditions during significant rain and tide events. The procurement is structured as a three-year contract with an estimated total value of $300,000.00. The solicitation was posted on May 23, 2025, with a final date for receipt of information set for June 16, 2025. The specific procurement is justified by a PLEMO study identifying the critical need for these sensors, and Aware Monitoring Systems was selected based on their known operational capabilities for detecting roadway flooding concerns in Clay County. The contact for this procurement is Jake Boozer from the Procurement Office located in Lake City, Florida.

This single source procurement appears to be open to the specific vendor, Aware Monitoring Systems, and does not indicate explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The sensors will integrate with existing infrastructure, with the vendor selected due to their demonstrated compatibility and installation capabilities. The technology being procured involves specialized water level monitoring systems designed to provide real-time flood detection for transportation infrastructure. The procurement covers three sensors with a total budget of $300,000.00, suggesting each sensor is valued at approximately $100,000. The contract term is three years, which suggests ongoing monitoring and potential future data collection and reporting requirements. No additional vendors or incumbent contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and the procurement seems specifically tailored to Aware Monitoring Systems' unique capabilities in flood sensor technology for transportation management.
