Traffic Signal Preemption Equipment (ADOT/federal-funded)

The City of Sierra Vista, acting as the sub recipient of the Carbon Reduction Program award, is soliciting bids under solicitation number 2027-IFB-004-GR285 for the procurement of an Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) system. The project aims to improve public safety and reduce carbon emissions by allowing emergency vehicles to override normal traffic signal operations at 19 signalized intersections. The scope of work is limited to the supply of equipment, including 76 detectors with mounting brackets, 120 emitters, 19 optical signal processors, and 1,000 feet of detector cable per intersection, along with a 10-year equipment warranty. The City's Public Works Department will handle all installation; therefore, no installation services are requested. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Applicants must provide an Arizona State Contractor's License and a bid bond for at least 10 percent of the bid amount. As this project is funded by the Federal Highway Administration, it is subject to strict federal compliance standards, including 2 CFR 200.317, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, and Buy America certifications for goods valued over 150,000 dollars. Additional requirements include adherence to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and a five-year records retention period. Electronic bids must be submitted via the OpenGov portal by December 1, 2026, at 10:00am Arizona Time.
