Description
Scope of Services
In 2014, SBCTA instituted a mechanism to better monitor traffic performance on San Bernardino County’s network of freeways and arterial streets. In effect, this was a substitute for requirements incorporated into the county’s Congestion Management Program (CMP) since 1992, in which local jurisdictions were required to annually conduct traffic counts and report traffic level of service (LOS) on their systems.
The monitoring system that has been in place since that time uses mobile phone-based “probe data” that is archived on a 5-minute basis, together with a software system and user interface that enables the derivation of a variety of metrics useful for quantifying traffic speeds, delay, congestion levels, travel time, reliability, etc. The data and displays have been useful not just for general traffic monitoring but for congestion hot-spot identification, before/after analyses, benefit/cost analyses, and metrics/displays useful for grant applications for SBCTA projects and for responding to internal and external agency inquiries.
The source of probe-based data for the current system is the National Performance Management Research Data Set (NPMRDS), containing speeds aggregated in 5-minute increments as provided by the company HERE, now in a partnership with INRIX. SBCTA has accessed this real-time and archived data thanks to Caltrans, who carries five licenses, one of which is reserved for SBCTA. The current license expires in less than two years and will likely be renewed. Proposers should explain the expected source(s) of data and whether access to NPMRDS data would be dependent on the SBCTA contract with Caltrans.
The current contract for SBCTA’s probe-based monitoring system expires at the end of June, 2022. Given that the system has been quite useful for SBCTA projects and planning activities, and given that the technology has advanced even further since the original procurement, SBCTA wishes to procure a similar system for continuing application. It is envisioned that the new contract will have a duration of five years, with the potential for three one-year extensions. It is currently envisioned that the NPMRDS data will continue to be used; however, SBCTA is open to datasets that offer additional capabilities, as long of some level of consistency is maintained with previously archived data.
