Lextran is a technologically diverse entity and exists in two separate locations, the Transit Center (220 E Vine St.) and the Administrative Headquarters (200 W Loudon Ave.). Both locations are connected via fiber E-line through Spectrum Enterprise. All Lextran’s vehicles are equipped with a computer-aided dispatch/automatic vehicle location (CAD/AVL) system that communicates via cellular signal back to Lextran’s Headquarters and shows the real time bus location to our dispatchers and customers. Lextran is seeking a firm to provide technology support on an as-needed basis, in coordination with Lextran staff. Examples (not an all-inclusive list) of services that might be asked of the selected vendor include: Networking services.
