Traffic Data Counters and Related Equipment

TDOT is conducting market research to identify vendors capable of supplying, installing, maintaining, and supporting traffic‑data‑collection hardware and related software for both short‑term portable counts and permanent continuous‑count stations across the State of Tennessee. The agency seeks detailed product portfolios, warranty terms, repair and inventory processes, data‑collection capabilities (including loop detection, solar power, telemetry via dial‑up or wireless), software integration with the MS2 data platform, and strict compliance with State‑wide security, data‑residency, encryption, and AI policies. Vendors must also provide a signed legal attestation confirming their ability to meet these technical and security requirements. • Provide full bill‑of‑materials for short‑term and continuous counting solutions. • Demonstrate telemetry, solar‑power, and loop‑based data capture with backup battery support. • Show compliance with FIPS‑validated encryption, US‑only data residency, NIST 800‑88 media sanitization, and TDOT’s Enterprise Information Security Policies. • Include cost ranges, pricing units, and any ancillary costs (installation, training, maintenance). • Submit a signed legal/CEO statement attesting to capability to meet all requirements.
