Big Turnout At Pre-Bid Meeting For Speed Camera Contract
About 50 people listen as CDOT representatives outline speed camera program at pre-bid contrat meeting Tuesday
All the big names were there.
Redflex, RedSpeed, Gatso USA, American Traffic Solutions, Optotraffic–and other heavy hitters of the automated traffic enforcement industry–were sitting quietly in Conference Room B waiting for the meeting to begin.
About 50 people representing these, and other potential subcontractors considering a bid to become a vendor for Chicago’s speed camera enforcement program, showed up on the 4th floor of City Hall Tuesday morning to get more information about the contract.
In a nearly packed room, the meeting began with some clarifying words from Joseph Chan from the Department of Procurement and Contracts and then some background on the speed camera plan by Larry McPhillip from the Chicago Department of Transportation.
“Child safety is our primary goal,” said McPhillip before giving attendees the Cliff’s Notes version of the city’s vision for their speed camera program, state law and the city’s municipal code.
