This tender comprises the delivery of services necessary for providing the City of Aarhus (CoA) with full time access to an OCIT[1]-based central system for road traffic signal controllers and other roadside controllers, the Central Monitoring and Management Control (the CMMC).
[1] Whenever the terms "OCIT" or "OCIT-compatible" is used in this specification, it refers to compliance with the OCIT-O v3.0 specification — unless specifically otherwise stated.
The present tender is 1 out of 3 tenders running partly simultaneously, each of which shall contribute to fulfilling the CoA’s goals of minimizing vendor lock-in situations and improving the overall mobility through efficient traffic management:
1) A comprehensive OCIT-based central system for road traffic signal controllers and other controllers (Tender A – present tender)
2) OCIT-based Traffic Signal Controllers (TSCs) and all key components for building up a complete controller (Tender B)
3) Other OCIT-compatible ITS-systems, e.g. Variable Message Signs (VMS) (no current plans of tendering, but will be tendered ad hoc if needed)
In addition to Tender A (present tender) and Tender B, the CoA will also do a Tender C, concerning necessary construction works, installation of S-B supplies, delivery and installation of peripherals (poles, signal heads, radar detection equipment, etc.) as well as operation and maintenance of all of the CoA’s ITS equipment. Thus, SP-C will be responsible for the overall system integration, including the connection of new TSC installations (delivered by S-B) to the central system (delivered by SP-A – based on present tender). Tender C will be conducted with invited tenderers.
The contract can on request of the CoA be extended for up to 3 x 12 month on un-changed terms or on changed terms which have been agreed between the parties and are generally financially beneficial for the CoA.
Among the prequalification applicants fulfilling the described requirements, 3-5 applicants will be selected based on an objective evaluation. If the CoA receives 3 qualified and suitable applications, these applicants will be asked to submit a tender.
In the selection, the CoA will, based on the references, especially assign emphasis on the following, in a non-prioritized order:
— the applicant's description of how the individual reference is comparable with the services to be delivered to the CoA,
— to which extent the applicant is experienced with the delivery of central systems of the requested type,
— to which extent the applicant has experience with delivery of central sys-tem(s) independent of control systems, or is experienced with accessing foreign control systems on its own central system through OCIT-O V2.0 or high-er,
— to which extent the applicant's references demonstrate that the applicant has a thoroughly tested standard central system based on the OCIT specifications and to which extend this standard central system is integrated with LISA+.
