The City of Lake Wales is reviewing a proposal for school speed zone and red light enforcement cameras. This project involves installing video technology systems that use radar or laser for speed detection and capture color images of violating vehicles. The proposed systems can be installed on fixed poles, in steel cabinets, or on portable trailers. The technology is designed to be non-invasive, meaning it does not require cutting into the road surface. This item is currently under review as part of RFP No. 25-09. The project would involve the installation of specialized camera and detection equipment, potentially including site preparation for fixed installations and the setup of portable units. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as electrical, low-voltage systems, and potentially concrete or general construction for pole foundations could find opportunities. Reaching out to the city or the vendor early could provide insight into specific needs before final bids and permits are established.
