8 - TRAFFIC COUNTING SERVICES

The County of Orange, through its OC Public Works department, is seeking qualified vendors to provide Traffic Counting Services on an as-needed basis. This solicitation covers all labor, staffing, materials, tools, equipment, and incidentals necessary to support traffic data collection and analysis activities. The services will be utilized for various purposes including traffic safety assessments, signal timing, flow evaluation, mapping, and other traffic studies. The solicitation, titled "8 - TRAFFIC COUNTING SERVICES" (IFB-2998102-MG), was posted on February 3, 2026, with responses due by March 3, 2026. The work is to be performed within the state of California, with administrative and contractual oversight managed out of Santa Ana, CA. The County has appointed a Deputy Purchasing Agent, Matthew Gill, as the primary point of contact. To secure services under this contract, vendors may be required to provide a Labor and Material Payment Bond ensuring payment for labor and materials in accordance with California law, protecting those supplying work under the contract. This bond holds both the contractor and surety responsible for payments up to the bond limit and includes provisions for contract changes and enforcement rights for claimants. While not directly related to this contract, an example Performance Bond for a similarly structured contract in Virginia illustrates the standard practice of guaranteeing contractor performance and fulfilling contract obligations through a surety-backed bond, underscoring the County’s emphasis on reliability and accountability in contracting. Overall, this solicitation aims to secure dependable traffic counting professionals equipped to meet the County’s operational and safety objectives through robust service and contractual safeguards.
