1.Phoenix (AZ) Wireless Mesh WAN for Traffic Management
The City of Phoenix is seeking proposals from qualified individuals or firms to provide equipment, implementation assistance, training, and maintenance assistance for a new mesh wireless/fiber optic hybrid communication system (Wireless WAN) for the City which shall be primarily used to transmit data bi-directionally between traffic signal controllers and the City?s Traffic Management Center (TMC). The wireless WAN is also required to be capable of providing a secure method in which other applications and user groups can co-exist on the network without interfering with the Wireless WAN?s primary traffic management function. Bidders conferenced on October 17. Proposals due October 31, 2007
The system shall be required to have a mesh architecture which includes; remote user access, wireless point-to-point, wireless backhaul, and fiber optic backhaul links to provide reliable data transmission service and protect the City?s traffic signal system wireless network against unintentional and/or malicious intrusions. The optimum roposed system would be scalable with little or no operational disruption to the network, self-configuring, and provide access for the greatest number of future remote employee users while maintaining a high level of security. The Wireless WAN is not intended nor required to be a primary system for life-safety communication.
The City would like to utilize this project to become self-sufficient in the installation, configuration, and maintenance of the wireless WAN. The Proposer shall be required to provide all materials required to implement the Wireless WAN. City forces will provide all labor to install the materials and the Proposer shall provide on the job training for City employees in the design, installation, operation, troubleshooting, and configuration of the ITS Wireless WAN. The Proposer shall also be required to provide guidance and on the job training to the City during the design, RF survey, testing, and troubleshooting phases of the ITS Wireless project. Upon successful performance of the ITS Wireless Project, the City intends to increase the coverage area of the ITS Wireless Project to provide wireless communications to approximately 59 additional intersections. There are sufficient City forces available to perform all of the physical installation work required to expand the wireless network to the 59 intersections which are beyond the project limits of this RFP. It is the City?s intention to purchase equipment and utilize on-call remote and/or on-site technical assistance from the successful Proposer to facilitate the 59 intersection expansion.
