PANAJI: The Goa Government's transport department has decided to install GPS systems in around 65,000 public transport vehicles like buses and trucks registered in the State and has floated a tender for Request for Proposal (RFP) from manufacturers and dealers.
The tender uploaded on the e-tendering website of the Goa government calls for RFPs for supply, installation and maintenance of ATD (Automated Tracking Device) with an integrated emergency system as well.
The RFP document containing “Technical bid” and “Financial bid” complete in all respects should reach the transport director before December 14, 2018, the tender states.
The government's decision to fit the GPS systems in public transport vehicles comes following directions in this regard issued by the Bombay High Court at Goa recently. The High Court directed the government to enforce the use of GPS devices and 'Panic Button' in all public service vehicles as defined under clause (35) of Section 2 of the Motor Vehicles Act.
The State-owned Goa Electronics Limited (GEL) will be the Monitoring Agency for the entire project period of five years.
The selected bidder shall supply, install and maintain “the device in vehicles registered in Goa" and public transport vehicle owners will have to procure the devices only from dealers selected by the government through the tender process.
According to the tender notice, the selected suppliers will have to provide a one-year warranty as well as maintenance contract.
The devices will give all vehicle movement data on a periodical basis to the CTRS (Central Tracking Response System) application developed by GEL and installed at SDC (State Data Centre), through GPRS and GPS devices.
This data will be accessed through a web-based application, namely CTRS from the nominated control rooms, including the nearest police station, the police control room, the Ministry of Home Affairs Control Room and the Transport Department. Sources in the Transport Department said by the time the final tendering process is completed, the number of public transport vehicles fitted with the systems may be spiked to 90,000.
