Short Duration Traffic Counting Service

The City of New Westminster, British Columbia, requires short-duration traffic counting services to collect and analyze transportation data. The agency needs to gather accurate volume data for vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians over varying timeframes determined on a project-by-project basis. This initiative will help the agency monitor local traffic patterns and support municipal transportation planning decisions. The selected contractor must collect short-duration volume data, process and clean the collected data, and compile detailed notes regarding any data anomalies or issues. The scope of work also includes reporting the count data and drafting a brief methodology memo. This memo must describe the database structure and list all traffic count locations alongside the specific collection technologies utilized. Bidders must be organizations based in Canada to meet the eligibility requirements for this opportunity. The agency requires contractors to possess familiarity with temporary counting technologies and a proven track record of accurate data collection. The contractor must perform the majority of the work off-site at their own facility and remain available to agency staff during regular business hours from 8:00 to 17:00 Pacific Standard Time, Monday through Friday. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget and cost structure for these services. Bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or through the designated online portal.
