Specifications include, but are not limited to: The purpose of this RFP is to enter into a contract with a qualified firm to Maintain or Repair Traffic Control Systems. UDOT Traffic and Safety has been using the procurement contract method to provide Traffic Control Systems in an efficient and cost-effective manner for many years. This contract will continue to provide this service. This contract is for installation, upgrade, or repair of traffic control systems. Work will be performed in any area of the State. Contractor may bid on ALL or PART of the state to perform work. Please indicate this in your technical proposal by identifying which mobilization areas you intend to bid on. This contract is a very broad, encompassing contract. In general terms, the Contractor will have full responsibility for the installation of a traffic control system (full or partial intersection), and any necessary upgrading repair of intersection components and pedestrian facilities. Each project will be assigned on an as needed basis by a UDOT Representative and the department makes no guarantee on usage. Projects resulting from this contract are considered small construction projects. Contractors are expected to complete any assigned project safely, quickly, and with minimum delays. Contractor should provide all properly qualified, licensed, and or certified personnel. Conduct all work in a safe and efficient manner using approved safety apparel. They must have sufficient staff, knowledge, and skills to complete a variety of UDOT’s traffic control system projects on time. Work will be performed in accordance with the most current version of UDOT Standard Drawings and Specifications, Project Special Provisions, and Department Supplemental Specifications. Please install heat tape on the following visors: Type 1 through-movement signal head (red, yellow, green). If multiple through signal heads exist, pick the one that you want to install heat-tape, taking into account the head most visible for the traveling public and accessibility to safely perform the work. Only one of the multiple type 1 through signal heads should receive the heat tape. Install heat tape for the red, yellow and green indication. (Do not install heaters on signal heads that are not mounted on the mast arms.) Left Turns. Only if the head is protected only or Flashing Yellow Arrow. If multiple left turn heads are present (e.g. type 3 heads), pick the one that you want to install heat tape on, that is most visible to the traveling public and is most accessible for installation. Please do not install heat tape to any type 5 (doghouse) heads, as these may be replaced soon in the future and the intersection will operate ok even if the doghouse signal is covered with snow.
