Traffic Signal Controller Replacement Phase 1

The District of Columbia is procuring services for the Traffic Signal Controller Replacement Phase 1 project, which represents a comprehensive transportation infrastructure modernization initiative. The scope of work encompasses the procurement, programming, configuring, installation, testing, and integration of new advanced transportation controllers and conflict monitor units across 1,584 signalized intersections throughout the district. This project requires contractors to deliver complete end-to-end solutions that include equipment selection, system configuration tailored to district specifications, professional installation at each intersection location, rigorous testing protocols to ensure functionality and safety compliance, and seamless integration with existing transportation management systems. The contract was posted on April 2, 2026, with a proposal submission deadline of April 23, 2026, providing interested vendors with a 21-day window to prepare and submit their responses. While specific evaluation criteria, required qualifications, and detailed technical specifications are not enumerated in the available information, potential bidders should anticipate that evaluation will likely consider technical expertise in traffic signal systems, installation capacity to handle 1,584 locations, programming proficiency with advanced controllers, and ability to maintain service continuity during the transition.
