Subject: Request For Technology -19-65 Congestion Pricing Alternative Technology
The Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority (hereinafter referred to as “the Authority”) is seeking technical information from the marketplace on Congestion Pricing Alternative Technology. Congestion tolling has been recommended to reduce congestion in New York City’s Central Business District and financially support mass transit in the region. With only a handful of congestion pricing programs around the world, and with this being the first application of cordon-based congestion pricing in the United States, the Authority is seeking concepts and solutions that could be effective in implementing this solution within the next two years. The proposed Congestion Tolling Program (CTP) program is outlined in Attachment 1, Congestion Pricing Alternative Technology.
Submissions may include, but are not limited to, a vendor’s standard literature, catalog information, sample specifications, and qualifications. In addition, the submission should include a draft test plan, including how the vendor proposes to install the technology, how the technology will be operated, and what data will be collected. The RFT submission shall be provided by e-mail, USB Flash Drive, or other file transfer service. The Authority may request that vendors provide a technical presentation and a product demonstration to further describe their technology. The deadline for submission of the technical information and qualifications of the firm is April 12, 2019 at 3:30 PM.
All responses are to be submitted to the address set forth below:
