Request for Proposal

Automated Traffic Enforcement Safety Device System

PROJECT SUMMARY

The Town of Orange (“Town”) is soliciting sealed proposals from qualified vendors to provide a turnkey automated

traffic enforcement safety device (ATESD(s)) system for deployment in designated areas throughout the Town. The

system will support the Town’s efforts to reduce speeding-related crashes, enhance pedestrian safety, and comply with

all applicable Connecticut laws and regulations governing the use of ATESDs. The system shall comply with the

authority granted the Town under Public Act 23-116 and Chapter 366 of the Code of the Town of Orange.

The selected respondents shall: (i) assist the Town in preparing a comprehensive traffic safety plan; (ii) assist

the Town in designing the system; (iii) provide equipment; (iv) install and operate the system; (v) perform all

necessary calibrations; (vi) provide and maintain all necessary software and data management; (vii) assist with

and provide citation processing support; (viii) collection of fines; (ix) provide training; and (x) provide ongoing

maintenance (collectively the “Solicited Services”). The selected respondent’s fee shall not be contingent upon

the number of citations issued or fines levied under the ATESD system.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

On January 14, 2026, the Town adopted legislation entitled “An Ordinance Amending The Code Of The Town Of

Orange To Add Article VI Automated Traffic Enforcement Safety Devices” (“Ordinance”). The Ordinance was

adopted pursuant to the authority granted municipalities pursuant to Public Act 23-116, which authorizes the use of

ATSEDs at locations within school zones, pedestrians safety zones and other locations within a municipality, provided

that the locations of such devices have been identified by the Town in a comprehensive traffic safety plan. The Town

is committed to improving traffic safety and reducing speeding on local roadways, particularly in areas with high

pedestrian activity, schools, parks, and residential neighborhoods. Speeding continues to be a significant contributing

factor to motor vehicle crashes, injuries, and fatalities, posing an ongoing public safety concern for residents, visitors,

and commuters traveling through the Town.

The Town intends to issue this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) to solicit qualified and experienced vendors capable of

providing a complete, turnkey ATESD system and the Solicited Services. This includes the design, installation,

operation, maintenance, and support of speed camera systems, as well as assistance with program administration, data

security, public education, and compliance with all applicable state and local laws and regulations.

Through this RFP, the Town seeks a partner that can deliver a reliable, legally compliant, and transparent speed

safety camera program that prioritizes public safety, protects individual privacy, and supports the Town’s broader

traffic calming and safety objectives.
