MnDOT requests proposals for a Work Zone Speed Safety Camera (SSC) Pilot Program (Program) that conforms with Minnesota Bill HF 5247 that was signed into law in May of 2024. The law provides MnDOT the authority to implement a speed safety camera pilot program that provides for education of speeding violations within work zones. This is a Request for Proposals (hereinafter referred to as the RFP) to qualified companies that can provide a work zone SSC system (System) for designated locations on the MnDOT roadway system. This Program will be for a complete “turnkey” operation, including the equipment, site design, installation, maintenance, calibration, operations, and removal of equipment, as well as, violation screening, violation processing (issuing warning of a violation), data collection, training, and continuing performance of the hardware, software, and supporting services needed for the System to function properly with the needed parameters that MnDOT will require. Project Goal: The purpose of this Program is to evaluate the effectiveness of speed safety cameras as a proof of concept to reduce vehicle speeds and enhance safety within work zones on state roadways. The goals of the Program are: A. Testing the viability of SSCs to detect and identify speeding vehicles within a work zone. B. Understand the Successful Responder’s and MnDOT's ability to send warning letters to identified violators. C. Understand the technology needed to implement SSCs. D. Understand and document how to successfully deploy this technology in active work zones
