(\"IRD\" or the \"Company\"), a Quarterhill Inc. (\"Quarterhill\") company (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), announces that it has been awarded a contract for \"Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) Systems Installation, Maintenance, and Data Services\" with\n \n the United States\n \n (U.S.) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Infrastructure Research and Development, which is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation. The contract is a task-order based, indefinite-delivery-indefinite-quantity, agreement covering a 66-month period and is valued at U.S.\n \n $1.2 million\n \n .\n \n \n Under this contract, IRD will be issued task orders to provide installation, maintenance, repairs, and verification that data collected from the WIM systems at Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) test sites across\n \n the United States\n \n and\n \n Canada\n \n meet performance specifications for Type I WIM systems established by American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E1318-09.\n \n \n The FHWA funds and manages the LTPP program with the goal of investigating specific pavement-related details that are critical to pavement performance. LTPP program studies are performed at more than 2,500 test sections on highways across\n \n North America\n \n .\n \n \n A key factor in understanding pavement performance is having accurate and reliable monitoring traffic data, specifically classification and weight data. The weigh-in-motion (WIM) equipment used to collect this data will be provided and installed by IRD and evaluated and maintained routinely. IRD will also provide the in-depth knowledge and expertise of the WIM equipment and the necessary industry technical resources that are not readily available in-house at FHWA.\n \n \n Mr. Rish Malhotra, IRD Preside...
