Miami Dade Expressway Authority is procuring a new comprehensive all-electronic toll (AET) system for the 112-Airport Expressway and the 836-Dolphin Expressway with the option to add new equipment at its smaller toll facilities.

The request for proposals has been issued and proposals are due by the end of July.

The main portion of the work will cover: mainline toll zones and ramp toll zones on the 836-Dolphin Expressway; mainline toll zones on the 112-Airport Expressway; and an optional add-on to the main contract to provide similar AET equipment on the three smaller toll roads.

The system provides for the normal suite of AET equipment but includes unspecified technology for vehicle detection tracking and classification (either in-road loops and/or overhead scanners), multiprotocol readers and front and rear licence plate reading cameras and lane and toll zone equipment for processing both transponder and licence plate reads.

The go-live dates for the various segments are between 15 February and 21 June 2014 with allowable extra time ranging between thirty and sixty days.
