Statewide Traffic Counting Services

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is seeking qualified contractors to provide comprehensive traffic counting services across Regions 1 through 5, which includes the Portland Metropolitan area. The procurement involves multiple types of traffic data collection, including 24-hour and 16-hour video counts at straightaways and intersections, 48-hour machine road tube counts, vehicle volume counts, weave studies, bike and pedestrian studies, and speed studies ranging from 4 to 7 days. Contractors must be prepared to conduct detailed vehicle classification and volume counts on highways, roads, and streets throughout these regions. Key deliverables include submitting count data to ODOT's Transportation Systems Monitoring office within two calendar weeks of collection, with weekly status reports required. Bidders must provide at least three references for similar services completed within the last three years and submit all required documents through the OregonBuys eProcurement system by the bid opening date of December 11, 2025. The bid will remain firm and binding for 90 calendar days following closing, with the anticipated contract term of five years from the date of full execution.

This procurement does not have a specific Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal, though DBE reporting requirements for no-goal agreements apply. The contract is federally funded, subject to Buy America requirements, Cargo Preference Act provisions, and FHWA Form 1273 guidelines. Contractors must meet specific insurance requirements, including Commercial General Liability insurance with $1,000,000 per occurrence limits and appropriate automobile and workers' compensation coverage. Bidders employing 50 or more full-time employees with a contract value exceeding $500,000 must comply with pay equity training requirements. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the bid pricing form includes detailed unit pricing across multiple service categories, with estimated quantities provided for a 12-month period. Potential additional services include travel time delay studies and origin-destination studies. The contract is non-exclusive, meaning ODOT reserves the right to contract for similar services outside this agreement and makes no guarantee of minimum or maximum purchase volumes.
