The Illinois Department of Transport has received 30 responses to a Request for Information (RFI) for highway lighting assets and smart technologies.

The RFI was launched on August 22, 2018. 

The scope of the project includes the design, build, operations, maintenance and financing of current and future IDOT-owned lighting assets across Illinois. Current assets consist of approximately 57,500 bulbs (primarily High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) and Low-Pressure Sodium (LPS)) on approximately 30,500 poles and mounts (conventional, high-mast, and tunnel/ underpass) statewide.

The lighting system upgrades may include the implementation of smart technology components.
