Submittal Procedures
Submissions should be sealed, identified as the title of the procurement opportunity, and are due to the TCRPC office located at 456 Fulton Street, Suite 401, Peoria, IL 6162, no later than noon on Monday, July 22, 2024. Submissions received after that date and time will not be eligible for consideration. Proposals/Bids should be no more than 20 pages in length and include two hard copies and one digital copy.
Mobile Multimodal Counting Equipment
Tri-County is seeking Proposals/Bids from interested and qualified Vendors to fulfill TCRPC’s goals of purchasing mobile counting equipment. The primary reason for this equipment is to collect bicycle and pedestrian counts; the secondary reason is to acquire the necessary software/subscription for postprocessing the count data for analysis; and the tertiary reason is to count other forms of transportation along a roadway and intersection. Proposals should incorporate mobile counting equipment and be easily installed with a turn-key setup. A total of $50,000 has been programmed for this procurement opportunity.
Traffic Signal Asset Management Plan
Tri-County seeks to collaborate with a qualified firm to provide professional services to assist with the development of a locally controlled Traffic Signal Asset Management Plan (TSAMP). The TSAMP will include a GIS inventory of locally controlled signalized intersections with their corresponding attributes including pedestrian flashers, the extraction of timing plans from each signal box to collect AM and PM timings, and a final report that includes an overview of the process, findings, and recommendations. Additionally, the consultant will be tasked with importing the signal timing data into the Tri-County Activity-Based Travel Demand Model. A total of $430,000 has been programmed for this procurement opportunity.
