My choice for a "multi purpose" NICE vehilce (replacing supervisor SUV's and "administrative" sedans NICE wanted) would've been the 2013 Ford Transit connect using CNG.

I chose this because I thought NICE didn't need SUV's assuming service was suspended during incliment weather needing SUV's, making SUV's unnecessary.  BUT nice proved supervisors need SUV's considering they were up and running in the Blizzard of 2013!  Maybe Nassau wasn't hit as hard as Suffolk, but it was def. a snowfall the supervisors would've NEEDED SUV's for.

That ITS RFP has been extended over and over again...its now due March 4. Are they not getting proposals?

Maybe not the proposal they want?

 

They should just give a call to Clever Devices and work out some deal. C'mon, they're in the same county!

Can they do that?  Since it's a county bus system only run by Veolia maybe they are requried to use the RFP process?

The system in the 3G's look exactly like the ones popping up at NJT too. I think it works completely on GPS and not wheel rotation like the old one.

Some people say that the old Clever Device systems worked on wheel rotation but I still don't think so. I think they all work on GPS, but the systems are broken and need to be fixed with lagging issues.

 

I actually like the new bus stop signs that NICE is proposing. It doesn't look that bad.

Some new NICE bus stops have been up for some time now, at Walt Whitman Mall and Rockville Centre LIRR. They look just like the template.

Very eye catching signs!  I was at Walt Whitman Mall for the first time since they made the new bus area and those signs def. stood out making it easy to see where the NICE bus stop shelter was!

The signs are so much bigger than the Long Island Bus signs. I hope they auction off the old LIB signs.

NICE posted an addenda for the procurement. The contractor is required to survey the system to determine what goes on each sign and where!

 

Veolia will provide samples but Contractor is responsible to create a Microsoft Excel file for each route which includes location of each sign, and exact sign content.

And IFB packages should be public info, so does anyone want to try emailing the bidders' address and asking for the documents purely from an open government point of view? Edited by Amtrak7

That is a lot of work for the company that is making the signs for NICE. Veolia should be a bit more easy, considering not many companies bid on their procurements as it is. The dates keep getting extended.

Serioulsy!  Am I reading/understanding this right?  They expect a contractor to go out, gather information of where every sign is, what that sign should contain, and then make a spread sheet?  That sounds very expensive and time consuming.

That's the understanding I get from reading that answer...

I remember hearing that LIB stop announcements worked off of the odometer/wheel rotation

the vehicle tracking system (AVL) was GPS based and powered by the radio system 

 

has NICE changed this?

What is your basis for saying the announcements worked off the wheel rotations? How do you know they weren't powered by the GPS system on board the buses? That has been the subject of controversy for some time now. And whatever system was in place in Long Island Bus, NICE hasn't changed it?
