All the new DMS displays, and components shall work the same way and be fully integrated into the Regional Transportation Management Centers (RTMC) Incident Management System which is called SunGuide_. The new equipment including network and system integration back into SunGuide will be the vendors responsibility and shall work with the RTMC's IT department and ITS Maintenance contractor to ensure that the new equipment is fully functional. Contractor is to install equipment based on manufacturer recommendations and any equipment not used is to be turned over to FDOT or their designee.

Any parts that are not useful or not deemed reusable by the department will be the contractor's responsibility to properly dispose of. This corridor contains existing ITS devices like other DMSs, CCTV cameras, vehicle detection systems (VDSs), field control cabinets, power services, a fiber optic network, generator backup system and all ancillary components that comprise the operational ITS network. These devices are also controlled from the District One RTMC. As mentioned, the contractor is to use existing DMS structures, DMS Housing, and existing ground mounted cabinets. All ground equipment including UPS and batteries should be installed into the existing field cabinets. These batteries are to power the sign, controller, and cabinet. All components should be 100% solid-state and electrical be UL (Underwriter's Laboratory) listed and meet all local NEC codes applicable to the DMS applications. Contractor is responsible for removal and reinstallation of DMS housing after pixel panel install including MOT, Crane equipment, and movement down to a safe area on the right of way along the fence line for retrofitting. Any major right of way grading issues due to vehicle or equipment staging and sod damage is to be repaired back to the way it was or better prior to final acceptance. It is the Department's intent that all Project activities be conducted within the existing Right-of-Way. All required lane closures are to be limited to non-peak hours and as short as possible as to not cause any motorist issues.
