CN Amendment 1.pdf Summary
This is Amendment 1 to a competitive negotiations solicitation issued by the State of South Carolina's Division of Procurement Services on behalf of the SC Department of Transportation for an Enterprise Asset Management System (EAMS) software solution. The solicitation seeks a comprehensive asset management software platform to consolidate SCDOT's existing applications across multiple program areas including bridge inspection and management, pavement management, fleet management, facilities management, traffic and signals management, and roadway asset inventory. The project is estimated to require 5-7 years for full implementation with 10 years of support and maintenance following implementation. A pre-proposal conference was held on May 13, 2020 at 11:00 AM via WebEx. Written questions regarding the solicitation and technical requirements were due by May 22, 2020, with official responses published in an amendment on June 5, 2020. Proposals were due on July 1, 2020 at 11:00 AM submitted online through http://www.procurement.sc.gov. System demonstrations were scheduled to begin on August 24, 2020, with the Selection Executive decision expected on September 25, 2020 and award posting on October 9, 2020. Project kick-off was anticipated for November 3, 2020.
The solicitation is structured as a firm fixed-price contract award determined through a three-phase evaluation process: Phase 1 evaluates mandatory requirements; Phase 2 assesses general requirements including vendor qualifications, technical solution, technical approach and schedule, past performance, and price fairness and reasonableness; Phase 3 consists of system demonstrations and project presentations for offerors within the competitive range. Offerors must be capable of designing detailed Program Area Implementation Plans with schedules and cost validation, with change management processes as needed. All offerors must submit standard certifications and representations including independent price determination, debarment status, drug-free workplace compliance, ethics compliance, and illegal immigration certifications. Offerors may identify cost assumptions in their proposals to be validated during the project initiation phase.
