WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF BID #268246 TRAFFIC DATA RECORDERS
TRANSPORTATION PAGE 3 OF 23
1. SCOPE
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT or DOT), through its Purchasing Unit (Purchasing),
requests bids to establish a contract for the purchase of traffic data recorders (referred to below as
either “recorders” or ”units”) and related peripheral equipment and software.
WisDOT currently uses TC-3 traffic recorders at many continuous data collection locations. The TC-3
is no longer supported by the vendor, the software is incompatible with newer computers, and the
peripheral devices are not plug and play. The need for the replacement of the TC-3s is due to the
increasing number of equipment failures and problems polling using this type of unit.
The attached Standard Terms and Conditions shall govern this bid unless specifically modified in the
Special Conditions of Bid. Conditions of bid that include the word "must" or "shall,” describe a
mandatory requirement. All specifications are defined as mandatory minimum requirements unless
otherwise stated. If no bidder is able to comply with a given specification or condition of bid, Purchasing
reserves the right to delete that specification or condition of bid. Failure to meet a mandatory
requirement shall disqualify your bid.

purchasing agent shown on the bid cover sheet as soon as possible, but no later than April 21, 2011. If
