Summary of Specifications:
City of Littleton, hereinafter referred to as the “city”, is soliciting proposals relating to the procurement of an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS). For the purposes of this procurement, ATMS is defined primarily as a traffic signal system (with other functionality as defined herein). The procurement of this system will allow for the replacement of the city’s current traffic signal system software icons®. The selected Vendor will provide an ATMS that meets the functional requirements, has future expandability, is fully integrated, tested, operational, and functional at the end of the contract and that city staff is fully trained on its use.
This Request for Proposal (RFP) details the information requested by the city to compare each proposal and make a selection via the most qualified proposer. This consideration for value takes into account, but is not limited to, price, project management, system functional requirements, functionality, implementation and integration, technical support, and licensing structure. Described in this document and its attachments are the functional requirements of the ATMS and any candidate firmware(s) that can be deployed with the system. Aside from the information requested in the detailed functional requirements, the city requires information from each Vendor on its intended project approach, scope of work, integration of ATMS hardware in the city’s Traffic Management Center (TMC), client references, recommended maintenance, licensing structure, warranties and training. This list is not exhaustive and this RFP should be read thoroughly for all requirements.
The city is interested in an ATMS where the field components in the traffic operations network can be non-proprietary and not vendor dependent. The city is not replacing any of the city’s existing controllers or cabinets as part of this project.
Also of great interest are connectivity capabilities with adjacent jurisdictions which are a vital first step towards a metro region with increased interoperability and connectivity. It is important that the successful vendor has demonstrated success with implementing Center to Center connectivity, as this is a major goal of the region. Vendors will need to show how their system will provide such interoperability and connectivity.
The city’s existing conditions are described in Appendix A and provide a brief overview of the city’s traffic signal hardware and system operations. The vendor shall thoroughly review this section to ensure that its proposed equipment is compatible with existing hardware and software in the office and the field. Upgrades or replacements required to make the existing system compatible with the proposed solution shall be listed, along with associated costs for such. The quantities and devices documented in Appendix A are the best information available at the time of print, but they are subject to change. Vendors will be notified of major changes to the existing conditions during the submittal process.
