Video Traffic Data Equipment and Data Processing Services

The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) Number R404-24 to procure Video Traffic Data Equipment and Data Processing Services for Lancaster County and the broader state of Nebraska. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to provide advanced video traffic data camera units capable of monitoring traffic movements, including detailed tracking of pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicle classifications at large urban intersections and high-volume roadways. The camera units must be portable, quickly installable by one person, operable in all weather conditions, and capable of continuous recording for up to seven days. The data processing services required include secure online video storage for 30 days, generation of comprehensive traffic reports within three business days, and extraction of turning movement, classification, and average daily traffic count data. Evaluation criteria are comprehensive, with a total possible score of 1,555 points (1,725 with potential oral interviews), distributed across Corporate Overview (250 points), Technical Approach (980 points), and Cost Proposal (325 points). The proposal submission deadline is July 22, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. CST, with the contract award anticipated on September 13, 2024, and a two-year initial contract term with three optional one-year renewal periods.

The RFP does not explicitly indicate any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. Two vendors submitted proposals: All Traffic Data Services, LLC and Miovision, with Miovision ultimately being recommended for contract award. The contract is not exclusive, and the State reserves the right to contract with multiple vendors or seek similar services from alternative sources. The initial contract period's pricing must remain fixed, with potential price increases limited to 10% for subsequent renewal periods. While specific budget ranges are not definitively stated, the Cost Proposal Bid Sheet includes estimated quantities for three video traffic data camera units, 800 recorded video hours for traffic count data processing, and 50 recorded video hours each for small and large roundabouts. Optional pricing is available for additional classification processing, remote access services, and speed data processing. The State of Nebraska will be self-insured and will not require additional insurance beyond the RFP's specified terms. Funding will come from the State's budget, though exact allocation amounts were not disclosed in the documentation.
