Automated Enforcement for School Zones and Red Lights

The City of Fort Myers, a rapidly growing municipality on Florida’s southwest coast, is soliciting proposals for an automated enforcement system targeting school zones and red light violations under solicitation number RFP 26-020. The initiative reflects the City’s commitment to enhancing public safety and traffic management through advanced technology. With over a million residents served by more than a thousand employees, and significant annual tourism contributing billions to the local economy, this enforcement project aligns with the City’s broader objectives of maintaining a safe, thriving community amidst rapid population and economic growth. The solicitation was posted on January 21, 2026, with proposals due by February 23, 2026, managed through the City’s Police Department, headquartered in Fort Myers. The contract award adheres to stringent federal and state regulatory frameworks. It incorporates required provisions from multiple authoritative sources, including the FHWA-1273 clauses for federally aided construction contracts emphasizing nondiscrimination, safety, labor standards, and environmental compliance. Supplementary conditions from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's State Revolving Fund programs further guide procurement and contractual administration, ensuring robust oversight in areas such as minority business participation, insurance, and payment schedules. In addition, compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 Appendix II contract provisions mandates adherence to federal contract standards related to employment practices, termination, and anti-lobbying measures. The combined regulatory requirements underscore the City’s commitment to transparency, equity, and accountability in executing this technologically and socially significant enforcement project. Contact for further information is directed to the Chief of Police, Jason Fields, and Senior Procurement Specialist, Cathy Scott.
