Traffic monitoring services 2026/27 – 2029/30

⁠⁠⁠The Dunedin City Council’s roading network covers 1,762 km of sealed and unsealed road. Accurate data is vital for the efficient management of Dunedin’s roading network. Traffic counting data is required to support the development and calibration of traffic estimates across the Dunedin City Council (DCC) road network.

The DCC is aiming to partner with an appropriately skilled, experienced and qualified organisation to deliver our traffic counting requirements. The main scope of the contract includes traffic, cycle counts and placement and removal of intersection cameras.

The DCC is keen to receive proposals from respondents that can clearly demonstrate a successful track-record of delivery in similar contracts. Most important is the methodology and in their response, respondents must clearly demonstrate their proposed technology can gather high quality relevant data. Through this contract we want to achieve:

• Compliance with NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) requirements

• Value for Money

• A collaborative communication & working relationship.

• Innovation and efficiencies

• Health and safety being well managed with robust procedures in place for managing risks.

A contract term of 3 years, 10 months is proposed as this timeframe aligns with the expiry of DCC's current road maintenance contract. It is envisaged our future traffic monitoring services will be included in a new road maintenance contract from 1 May 2030.
