Company Name: Transoft Solutions, Inc Company Address: 350 13700 International Place, Richmond, BC, CAN V6V 2X8

Describe supplies and/or services being procured:

The Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division currently uses a Bentley software known as SignCAD for sign design and detailing. This software no longer meets the needs for our design requirements. GuideSIGN Pro, a Transoft Solutions product, has the capability to meet our current and future sign design and striping layout needs. Currently, the Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division uses AutoTURN, another product of Transoft Solutions, for other engineering functions. The Western Federal Lands Highway Division and the Central Federal Lands Highway Division are also currently using AutoTURN and GuideSIGN together.

GuideSIGN Pro is fully compatible with our CADD software. It is delivered with the latest MUTCD signs and allows special sign design. GuideSIGN Pro also includes pavement striping layout and measurement tools that are not available in our current sign design software and that is required by the Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division.

ALL RESPONSIBLE SOURCES MAY SUBMIT A QUOTATION WHICH, IF RECEIVED TIMELY, WITHIN 15 DAYS OF THE POSTED DATE, SHALL BE CONSIDERED BY THE AGENCY.
