DOTD-APS Station & APS-CCU

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has issued solicitation 3000026553 for the procurement of Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) stations and Cabinet Control Units (CCU). The requirement consists of 41 signal stations and 8 control units, all of which must strictly adhere to the technical specifications outlined in Traffic Control Standard (TCS) 220, revised August 07, 2024. This standard governs the electrical, environmental, audible, and hardware requirements for the equipment. Bids must be submitted via email to Kevin Walker by August 5, 2026, with a final response deadline of August 6, 2026. The procurement process emphasizes state and domestic preferences under Louisiana Revised Statutes. Bidders may claim a 10 percent price preference for products produced, manufactured, or assembled in Louisiana, provided at least 50 percent of the workforce are Louisiana residents. Additionally, a 5 percent preference is available for products manufactured in the United States. To qualify for either preference, vendors must submit signed certifications prior to the bid opening, specifying the applicable line items and the exact locations of production. Acceptance of the deliverables is contingent upon the products being equal in quality to non-preferred items and meeting the specific cost thresholds associated with these preference programs.
