Transportation Data Analytics Platform

The City of Steamboat Springs, Colorado Public Works/Engineering Division has issued an RFI for transportation data analytics platforms providing historical and real-time multimodal transportation insights without city-owned sensors or field hardware, with responses due September 10, 2026. This is an exploratory RFI; the City may proceed to procurement, issue an RFQ or RFP, or decline to pursue acquisition depending on feasibility and cost.

Desired capabilities span core data and analytics (historical traffic, real-time data, turning movement counts, speed trends, congestion, origin-destination patterns); multimodal coverage (pedestrian, bicycle, micro-mobility, transit, freight, parking); safety analytics (conflict analysis, high-injury network support, complaint validation, crash prediction modeling); intersection-level geographic granularity for Steamboat Springs with optional Routt County coverage; and user experience (dashboards, exportable datasets, API access, visualization tools). Platforms must be cloud-hosted with authentication via Microsoft Entra ID and/or multifactor authentication and must provide WCAG 2.1 Level A/AA accessibility conformance documentation. The City does not require license plate recognition or personally identifiable information and prefers platforms relying on third-party datasets with implementation measured in days rather than months.

Vendor responses must include company overview, data sources and coverage, capabilities addressing each requirement section, sample dashboards or reports, pricing structure (general or tiered cost ranges for annual subscriptions and startup fees, not binding quotes), implementation requirements, customer support and training information, optional enhancements, and references. Responses are due electronically through BidNet. Vendor question deadline is September 1, 2026, with City responses by September 3. Optional vendor demonstrations may be conducted at the City's discretion during the review period commencing October 1, 2026. Vendors claiming confidentiality for proprietary content must submit two versions: a complete unredacted version with proprietary sections marked and a redacted version compliant with the Colorado Open Records Act.
