3-BPM007146 Buy America.pdf

This is a Buy America compliance document related to a material procurement solicitation (BPM007146) issued by the Arizona Department of Transportation on behalf of the City of Avondale. The procurement focuses on acquiring CCTV cameras and cellular communications equipment for eight signalized intersections, including eight Axis Q6075-E 60 Hz network PTZ cameras with pole mounts and pendant kits, eight Cisco industrial 8-port switches with 5-year SmartNet warranties, power supplies, DIN rail mount kits, and sixteen Equal Optics industrial temperature SFP+ transceivers with fiber patch cables. All offers must be submitted electronically through the Arizona Procurement Portal by September 25, 2025, and must remain open for 120 days from submission. The contract is structured as a fixed-price agreement with an initial twelve-month term and potential extensions up to twenty-four months. All equipment must be delivered to the Avondale Municipal Operations Service Center, with contractors required to provide compliance certificates and notify the city seven days prior to delivery.

The solicitation is brand-name specific, requiring Axis, Cisco, and Equal Optics products, and emphasizes that this is a material-only contract with the City of Avondale responsible for installation. No set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the procurement documents. Evaluation will focus on offeror responsibility and responsiveness, including past contract performance, legal qualifications, financial resources, and compliance with immigration laws. Bidders must register in the Arizona Unified Transportation Registration and Certification System (AZ UTRACS) and provide tax identification numbers, declare any offshore services, and comply with federal immigration regulations. The state reserves the right to make multiple awards or award contracts by individual line items, with selection based on the lowest responsible and responsive offeror. No total contract value or specific budget range is explicitly stated, though the equipment list suggests a significant technology investment. All submitted offers become public records retained by the state for six years.
