EXHIBIT 2 – QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
1.Q. Required columns in the Appendix A spreadsheet were hidden, locked, or otherwise
unavailable for proposers to use.
1.A. See Additions & Clarifications #2 and #3, above.
2.Q. Page 24 of 37 (in the original RFP document) states that the maximum page count for
the proposal is 25 pages. Does that number include the requirements matrix which could
be quite lengthy on 8.5x11 paper?
2.A. We would like to keep the primary information to 25 pages. By that we mean the
following: dialog about your software, your Appendix A spreadsheet comments, your
installation and ongoing support discussion, and the cost estimate. The remaining
information (resumes, company profile/accomplishments/experience, current workload,
org chart, availability, etc) can take additional pages. Please organize your proposal in
the following order: primary product discussion, Functional Requirements spreadsheet
and comments, installation discussion, on-going maintenance discussion, cost submittal,
and lastly the “remaining” information (resumes, company profile/accomplishments, etc).
Please keep the “remaining” information brief.
3.Q. If we submit our proposal electronically, are any paper copies required?
3.A. If you reply electronically, no paper copies are required. Traffic Operations
would prefer electronic submittals. E-mailed submittals are to be submitted to
purchasing@fcgov.com and must be received by 3:00 p.m. our clock on the revised
date indicated above.
4.Q. Will the intersection software provider be responsible for system compliance and
integration for all existing 2070L controllers with different OS/9 versions as well as both 4
Mb and 8 Mb CPU modules?
4.A. Yes the software provider will be responsible for making their software work
properly in our existing controllers. We recognize that the existing operating system in
our controllers might be partially or fully incompatible with newer controller firmware and
as such understand that our controller operating system or the controller itself may need
to be upgraded. For economics reasons we are choosing not to upgrade our existing
controllers unless they have to be upgraded. We do not want to exclude any signal
system software from bidding so we can determine the best product available for our
needs. If new operating system software must be installed or if completely new 2070
controllers are necessary, please provide discussion why and add the additional costs
as separate line items in the bid.
5.Q. How many day plans do you run (weekday and weekend)? What’s the average number
of plans for the 20 intersections to be implemented in phase 2?
Addendum 1 – 7381 ATIS Page 4 of 4
5.A. We currently run one FREE plan and four coordinated plans (AM, Midday, PM, Off-
peak). Weekend timings are handled by one or more of the weekday plans. All five of the
above plans are implemented and operating on a daily basis and will be at the phase 2
intersections.
