VDOT will conduct testing of the AVL units November 13 – 15, 2023 and December 11 – 13, 2023. These tests, known as “Ping Dates,” are utilized to ensure the AVL units are installed and working properly. The contractor will be required to have the units turned on and accessible for the “Ping Dates”. If the units installed do not register or respond to the Ping signal, the VDOT Contract Manager will contact the contractor for resolution. The Contractor shall have the AVL equipment turned on from the time the Contractor reaches the Designated VDOT Location or at the staging location, whichever is earlier. AVL equipment must remain on, operable and accessible to VDOT until the Contractor is released from Operational Services.
