73 Iteris, US-based supplier of intelligent traffic management solutions, has been selected to provide on-call task-order based services to the US 831 Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

Two contracts, for support services for the Office of Operations include: Operations and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), and Traffic Incident and Events Management will be released over a period of up to five years. Iteris will have the opportunity to compete, with a small group of other selected providers, on each task order as it is released by FHWA.

The value of the operations and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) contract is US$67.6 million, while the contract for traffic incident and events management, is valued at up to US$12.6 million.

“Our selection by FHWA as one of the lead contractors to bid on task orders as part of these prestigious and significant contracts is a testament to our strong relationship with FHWA, the expertise of our associates and our team, and the impact that intelligent traffic technologies can have on improving congestion,” said Abbas Mohaddes, president and CEO of Iteris. “We expect to be awarded several of the task orders over the five-year period and anticipate they will contribute to our revenues in a meaningful way.”

The scope of the operations and ITS contract is expected to include support services for facilitating integrated ITS deployment through training and technical deployment and supporting the ITS and Connected Vehicle Research Programs. The traffic incident and events management award includes support services for traffic incident management, emergency transportation operations, and planned special events program areas.
