Environmental Sensor Station (ESS) Deployment

The contract entails the installation and calibration of environmental sensor stations to monitor weather conditions, visibility, and road surface states, with full integration into the Georgia Department of Transportation’s central traffic management infrastructure. These sensor stations are critical for real-time data collection to support automated safety alerts, traveler information systems, and proactive maintenance operations across targeted roadways. The scope includes site preparation, equipment mounting, power and communication linkage, system calibration to meet state performance standards, and testing to ensure seamless data transmission to central platforms. The work is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 262991, with performance required in Houston, though the state jurisdiction is limited to Georgia’s transportation network. The solicitation was posted on August 21, 2026, with a simultaneous response deadline, indicating a highly time-sensitive procurement process. While no set-aside provisions or organizational type restrictions are specified, bidders must comply with Georgia Department of Transportation protocols for deployment, data accuracy, and system reliability. The project demands technical expertise in environmental monitoring hardware, integration with traffic management systems, and adherence to state-mandated performance metrics without reliance on third-party documentation or external citations.
