Traffic Signal Cabinets, Devices and Services

The Hillsborough County Engineering & Operations Department is issuing a competitive solicitation to qualified contractors for a comprehensive traffic signal equipment project with an estimated value of approximately 4.6 million dollars. The contract encompasses the furnishing, configuration, installation, and removal of traffic signal cabinets, devices, and related services over a three-year period, with work including maintenance of traffic, compliance with FDOT and county standards, and the provision of detailed documentation such as shop drawings and As-Built plans. Bids are due by December 4, 2025, and must be submitted electronically through the county’s procurement portal, emphasizing transparency and adherence to a Cone of Silence policy. The scope involves deploying traffic signal components, including connected vehicle units, ensuring system functionality, and meeting all applicable standards, with inspections conducted at both the contractor’s site and the county’s Traffic Management Center for final acceptance. Contractors must provide various certifications and forms, including tax identification and certification via W-9, proof of compliance with Florida’s Drug-Free Workplace statutes, and proof of insurance coverage across multiple categories such as general liability, auto, workers' compensation, cyber, pollution, and professional liability, with specific coverage limits and endorsements. The procurement emphasizes responsibility and compliance, requiring offerors to submit references if they are the lowest bidder and to certify adherence to all statutory and contractual obligations. While the solicitation details procedures for invoicing, payment, and contract administration, it does not specify federal FAR clauses or detailed evaluation criteria, implying a lowest-price technically acceptable approach. The performance standards include adherence to FDOT and county standards, inspection and testing at designated locations, and final acceptance based on compliance with specifications and successful system operation. Overall, the contract aims to enhance traffic management infrastructure through a structured, compliant, and transparent procurement process.
