DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On behalf of the Office of the County Engineer, Procurement requests a waiver of the formal bid process to declare Iteris, Inc., a sole source provider, and to purchase their traffic signal detection equipment. Marion County maintains 140 signalized intersections, the majority of which utilize video detection for stopbar presence. Iteris is the only video detection system used in the county for that purpose, and standardization of Iteris equipment ensures compatibility, efficient maintenance, and uninterrupted operation. Additionally, warranty and support are only available when equipment is purchased directly from Iteris, making them the only viable source for these products. Previous Iteris equipment was purchased through an FDOT contract which Iteris is no longer a part of.
Attached for review is a draft Solicitation Waiver. Upon approval at today’s meeting, it will be sent to the Chairman for signature.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Neutral; estimated annual expenditure of $150,000. Funding is from BN403541-553101 (20% Gas Tax Const Fund).
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Motion to approve the request and declare Iteris, Inc. the sole source provider for Marion County’s Traffic Signal Video Detection Equipment under 25SS-149.
