Multimodal 3D LiDAR Vehicle & Pedestrian Detection System for Seven Signalized Intersections

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The City of Fargo is seeking qualified vendors to procure a 3D LiDAR based multimodal detection and analytics system. This system will be deployed at seven intersections on 52nd Avenue S in Fargo, including key intersections such as 45th Street S, 42nd Street S, and University Drive S. The goal is to enhance multimodal safety, operational efficiency, and data-driven decision-making. Work Details The contract involves providing a comprehensive multimodal detection system that includes: - Vehicle, pedestrian, and bicyclist detection - Traffic actuation - Safety analytics - Real-time monitoring The system must utilize 3D digital LiDAR sensors with the following specifications: - Full 360° horizontal field of view and minimum 40° vertical field of view - Minimum detection radius of 60 m (~200 ft) for all road users - Reliable operation in adverse weather conditions - Ingress protection rating of at least IP68/IP69K. Additionally, the system must support customizable multimodal actuation based on various parameters and integrate seamlessly with existing traffic infrastructure. It should also include a secure web-based cloud analytics platform for real-time monitoring and historical data analysis. The project requires installation at seven intersections with specific detection layouts and configurations for each intersection. Period of Performance The proposals are due by April 17, 2026, with the selected contractor expected to receive a Notice to Proceed on April 28, 2026. Place of Performance The contract will be performed at seven signalized intersections located on 52nd Avenue S in the City of Fargo. Bidder Requirements Vendors must provide all materials for the fully equipped intersections, including hardware and configuration costs itemized per intersection. Compliance with Build America/Buy America (BABA) certification and NDAA compliance for all LiDAR sensors is required. A minimum three-year warranty and support plan must be included.
