Date posted: Last day for receipt of information:

This description of commodities or contractual services intended for purchase from a single source is posted in accordance with section 287.057(3)(c), Florida Statutes and will remain posted for a period of at least 15 business days.

Commodity or Service Required (commodity class and group, manufacturer, model, and description, as appropriate):

41115500: Sound generating and measuring equipment; 41112800: Transportation related equipment and instruments;

81141803: Acoustics or noise control

Quantity or Term (as appropriate): One (1) OBSI System

Requestor (division, bureau, office, individual, as appropriate): Melanie Sowers, State Materials Office

Performance and/or Design Requirements (intended use, function or application, compatibility etc. requirements; reference to policy, rule, statute or other act of the Legislature, etc., as appropriate): As homes and commercial businesses are developed closer to high-speed roadways, noise generated from the tire-pavement interaction is considered an important factor in roadway design. The OBSI Systems measure tire pavement noise interaction at highway speeds to assess noise levels on department roadways based on the current AASHTO standard (T 360-16), which enables the evaluation of the noise performance of the pavement designs and materials. This information has been used to support design specifications, determine noise sensitive areas, and reduce the noise impact on the public. New OBSI technology is equipped with integrated Global Positioning System (GPS) and Distance Measuring Instrument (DMI) to provide reliable noise measurement without any locational error.

Intended source (vendor, contractor): AVEC, Inc.

Estimated Dollar Amount: $39,000.00

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate): The current OBSI System is outdated and past its useful service life.

The System cannot accurately log Global Positioning System (GPS) nor Distance Measuring Instrument (DMI) units.

AVEC, Inc. offers a continuous noise measuring system (on board sound intensity, OBSI) designed for surveying roadways and measuring both (1) noise levels and (2) real-time Global Positioning System (GPS) data simultaneously.

There are no other known vendors or systems who have integrated GPS into its data collection equipment/process.

Approved By: (names & titles, as appropriate to Post on Vendor Bid System (VBS), e.g., requestor, requestor management, information systems, budget, purchasing):
