Solicitation Number: RFP 24-67 / 42400097 5970 West Brown Street,
Glendale AUTOMATIC VEHICLE LOCATION, PASSENGER Suite 210
COUNTING TRACKING SYSTEM Glendale, Arizona 85302

1. INTRODUCTION

The City of Glendale Transit Division is soliciting Request for Proposals from qualified
firms to provide Automatic Vehicle Location and Passenger Counter (PC) System for
its city-operated fixed route circulator transit buses (GUS Bus). No federal funding
will be utilized to fund this project.

2. BACKGROUND

The City of Glendale Transit Division operates the GUS bus fixed-route transit
circulator system in Glendale, AZ. This solicitation seeks a qualified vendor to provide
a GPS Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) and Passenger Counter (PC) System for this
bus system. The system is to allow instantaneous tracking of fleet vehicles accurately
and without interruption of coverage along with meeting the passenger counting
needs of Glendale Transit.

3. SCOPE OF WORK

The proposed system should be completely inclusive of all necessary equipment and
software. Glendale Transit’s automated vehicle location and passenger counter
monitoring goals include a reliable, scalable system supporting a current fixed-route
bus system consisting of three (3) weekday and one (1) weekend routes and nine (9)
current vehicles viewable from both an Administrative Platform and a customer facing
app/interface reflecting routes over a map with real time and passenger count
updates on the location of the GUS buses. The AVL & PC system needs to
accommodate the following:

A. 35-Foot Coach Buses:
e Three (3) buses:
o 1 international Aero Lite 2016
o 1 Arboc 2019
o 1 freightliner Aero Lite 2024 (on order)
e Automated vehicle location
e Passenger counting
e Track speed and stop durations
e Track route history including miles travelled, location, speed, time and date
e Assignable in the system to differing routes and schedules

B. 25-Foot Cutaway Buses:
e Three (3) Ford El Dorado’s

o Model years 1 - 2015, 2- 2017

o Three (3) Ford Starcraft

o Model years 2024 (3 buses on order)
e Automated vehicle location
e Passenger counting
e Track speed and stop durations

e Track route history including miles travelled, location, speed, time and date
e Assignable in the system to differing routes and schedules

C. Passenger Counter: The Glendale Transit buses have only one (1) door that
passengers both board. and disembark through. Therefore, the automated
passenger coor reader/counter must be able to count the number of passengers
boarding and exiting the bus through the same door. It must also use the GPS or
have a way to identify the street location where each passenger boards and
disembarks the bus along the assigned route. The system must provide a read out
at the end of each shift of the total number of passengers boarding and
disembarking.

3.1. System Details
The system must be able to expand to a system to cover additional vehicles,
routes, and technologies. The Contractor shall provide the appropriate
installation plans and all parts/material/hardware/software for installation by
Glendale Transit’s “make ready” vendor for any future purchases. The system
should allow for use for the public to track the bus on a particular route. The
system should provide the requested functionality for each of the types of
vehicles specified above. Additionally, the vendors software and platform should
be able to adapt to new technologies as they become available.

3.2 Product Specification
The Contractor must detail their GPS tracking and passenger counting system
and related components. All parts not specifically mentioned, which are
necessary to provide a complete system, must be included in the system and
conform in durability and quality of material and workmanship to that which is
industry standard. All system components must be new and of current model
under standard production by the manufacturer. The Contractor must ensure
that the system is complete when delivered and is ready for operation. Omission
of any essential detail from these specifications does not relieve the Contractor
from furnishing a complete system.

3.3 System Requirements

3.3.1 The system must be scalable in terms of being complementary to new
technologies. The system must obtain GPS information for each vehicle
using GPS satellites orbiting the earth. The GPS positional accuracy
should be rated to five (5) meter accuracy or less and provide at least ten
(10) meter accuracy ninety (90%) percent of the time.

3.3.2 Information to be transmitted about each vehicle must be updated at
least every three (3) seconds and should include:
o Latitude and longitude
o Direction of travel
o Speed

passenger boarding’s by type through a touch-based input computer
device connected to the proposed AVL system.

vehicle location data every three (3) seconds while the vehicle is in
transit. The communication interval should be automated and not
require requests or intervention from the system operator's or
dispatchers’ computers.

e Administrative visualization of vehicle location and related information
on electronic map, accessible on both PC and mobile interfaces,
including:

o Vehicle/ Custom ID number.
