The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement, on behalf of the Public Works Department, is soliciting a qualified vendor to provide Traffic Signal Maintenance Services for a three-year contract period commencing July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2029. This Request for Quote encompasses comprehensive maintenance activities for the city's traffic signal infrastructure, which currently comprises 811 traffic signals, 9 HAWK signals, 16 flashers, and associated equipment including 161+ wireless radio communication signals, 588 cellular communication signals, 400+ CCTV and monitoring systems, 25 near-miss detection systems, and 100+ Emergency Vehicle Preemption devices. The contractor must provide 24/7 maintenance services with response times of 4 hours during normal business hours and 12 hours after-hours for routine maintenance, and 4-hour response times for emergency situations regardless of time of day. Required qualifications include a minimum of three years' experience in traffic signal maintenance services, Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) pre-qualification, and IMSA-certified Level 2 staff. The pricing structure includes a base bid with unit prices for specified maintenance activities, supplemented by time-and-material compensation for work not covered by the unit price schedule, with a material markup not to exceed 5%, along with three optional bid alternatives for First Responder Services, Annual Preventive Maintenance, and comprehensive time-and-material coverage. All bids must be submitted electronically through the Bonfire online procurement portal with responses due April 10, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST, preceded by a questions deadline of March 30, 2026, and distributed answers on April 2, 2026. A bid bond of 5% of bid amount and payment and performance bonds of 25% or 100% of contract value are required, and the City anticipates one award contingent upon Detroit City Council approval.

The City of Detroit's procurement includes an equalization credit program available to certified businesses, offering competitive advantages and pricing credits ranging from 1% to 5% depending on certification type, including designations for Detroit-based, Detroit resident, Detroit headquartered, Detroit-based small, and Detroit-based micro businesses, as well as Construction Workforce Investment and Development businesses. Contractors are encouraged to work with small, minority, and women-owned businesses and to hire Detroit residents, though no specific set-asides are mandated for this procurement. The solicitation documents do not identify an incumbent vendor or current contractor serving in this capacity. Successful contractors must integrate with the city's existing electronic work order tracking system (WOTS) hosted on MS2Soft and maintain compatibility with the city's traffic signal infrastructure. While specific budget values are not explicitly stated in the available documentation, the pricing sheet encompasses 271 individual pay items with estimated annual quantities ranging from 1 to 15,000 units depending on the line item, suggesting a substantial contract value; contractors should reference the Traffic Signal Maintenance Price Sheet for detailed unit pricing expectations and volume estimates. Award is contingent upon execution of the Professional Services Contract template, which includes requirements for comprehensive insurance coverage, compliance with prevailing wage standards under the Davis-Bacon Act, ISO 27001 certification or SOC 2 Type 2 Report for data protection, and adherence to all City of Detroit debarment, conflict of interest, and political contribution disclosure requirements.
