Automatic Traffic Recorder RFP

PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT

The Androscoggin Transportation Resource Center (ATRC), as the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the urbanized area of Lewiston-Auburn, Maine, and the Kittery Area Comprehensive Transportation Study (KACTS) as the designated MPO for the urbanized area of Kittery, in cooperation with the Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT), are seeking to obtain services to obtain Automatic Traffic Recorder’s (ATR).

BACKGROUND

Communities in the MPO’s area have requested more year round vehicle counts and vehicle classification.  The current method of collecting traffic data is to place tubes and counters in to or on the road, or have staff manually watch and count the traffic at the specified location.

The MPO’s have concerns about the safety of systems that require installation over the travel way, and do not wish to have staff on location for the long hours that accurate traffic counting requires.  A permanent traffic counter, and in some cases classification of vehicles, is sought in several different locations in the MPO areas.

Proposals shall be accepted at the AVCOG offices no later than 4:00 p.m. on Friday, May 30th, 2008.  At this time, all proposals shall be opened and recorded.

Questions and Clarifications 

All questions and clarifications shall be directed to Don Craig , ATRC (207) 783-9186 or dcraig@avcog.org.
