This Request for Proposals (RFP) #2128-RFP is issued by the City of Rock Hill, South Carolina, for an Integrated Roadway Management Platform. The City seeks a single, fully integrated software solution supporting roadway imagery, pavement assessment, roadway-asset assessment, maintenance and capital planning, asset management, and work orders across approximately 205 centerline miles of City-maintained roadway. The platform must include AI-powered pavement distress identification, automated detection of traffic signs and pavement markings, integrated budget forecasting, web and mobile asset and work-order management, and GIS and API connectivity with existing City systems. The RFP was released November 10, 2026, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for November 19, 2026. The deadline for questions is December 3, 2026, at 4:00 p.m., and proposals are due December 10, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., submitted electronically through the City's eProcurement Portal. The initial contract term is one year with up to four additional one-year renewal options at the City's sole discretion, each renewal requiring written mutual agreement between both parties.

The evaluation will be weighted across five criteria: AI Technology and Pavement Evaluation Capabilities (30 points), Company Experience (20 points), Software Functionality (20 points), Price (20 points), and Implementation, Data Collection, and Customer Support (10 points). The City reserves the right to waive minor technicalities, reject all proposals, request modifications, and conduct interviews at no cost to proposers. The selected vendor must maintain specified insurance coverage including General Liability ($2,000,000 per occurrence), Professional Liability ($2,000,000 per claim), Cyber Liability, and Workers' Compensation; obtain a City Business License prior to contract execution; and comply with South Carolina's Illegal Immigration Reform Act and Iran Divestment Act. The City retains all ownership rights to collected data, roadway imagery, and City-specific data, with the vendor receiving only a limited, non-exclusive license for service delivery, and such data use restrictions surviving contract termination.

Any renewal exercised shall be documented in writing and mutually agreed upon by the City and the awarded company.

2.4. Competition Intended

The process of responding to this Request for Proposals (RFP) should involve interested companies reviewing and analyzing the information provided herein and responding to all items where a response is requested.

2.5. Definitions

Proposer/Company/Vendor/Contractor/Supplier: These terms are used to encompass the party seeking to have an agreement with the City of Rock Hill.

City: This term is defined as the City of Rock Hill, South Carolina. All communications relating to the procurement process or the resulting purchase should be directed to the City’s Procurement Office.

Purchase: This term means the agreement to be executed by the City and the successful company.

2.6. Discrepancies and Questions

Companies shall have no contact related to this project with the City of Rock Hill elected or appointed officials or employees during the solicitation process, other than the contact person specified within this solicitation. Any such contact will subject the Company to immediate disqualification for consideration for this project.

Should the Company have questions, find discrepancies in the plans and/or specifications, or be in doubt as to the meaning or intent of any part thereof, the Company shall request clarification from the City via the eProcurement Portal, not later than 4:00 pm on Thursday, December 3, 2026.

All questions will be answered, and any changes will be communicated through an addendum posted on the City’s eProcurement Portal. As a registered Company, you will also receive addenda notifications in your email by clicking “Follow” on this project. It is the Company's responsibility to check the website for this information before submitting. Failure to request such clarification is a waiver of any claim by the

Company for additional expenses because its interpretation was different from the City’s.

2.7. Proposer's Minimum Qualification

A qualified company is defined for this purpose as one that meets, or by the date of proposal acceptance can meet, all requirements for licensing, insurance, and service contained within this RFP.

2.8. Proposal Preparation

2.9. Proposal Submission

Procurement Manager. All proposals must be approved by the Rock Hill City Manager and the department(s) in charge of the project. Failing an agreement, the City may reject all proposals and resubmit for new proposals or make any other decisions it deems to be in its own best interest.

The e-Procurement Portal uses an 'electronic lock box' system to receive and protect all Company responses. Only the Company can see that they have submitted a response and the information contained in that response. The Company may withdraw its submission and resubmit anytime until the due date and time. Once the submission phase has ended, the City can view the proposals and begin the evaluation of all received.

2.10. Availability of the e-Procurement Portal

All responses to the Solicitation must be submitted electronically through the e-Procurement Portal.

Should there be any technical issues with the Portal (not user/Supplier issues) that prevent any Supplier from submitting a response within the two (2) hours immediately before the due time, the Solicitation due date and time shall be extended for a period of 24 hours. The technical issue must be with the

Portal provider (OpenGov) and affects all participating Suppliers. The City shall verify the technical issue or unavailability of the Portal with OpenGov, the system provider. Technical issues localized to a single supplier will not be considered a cause for an extension.

The e-Procurement Portal will not allow submissions after the established due date and time have passed.

2.11. Errors in Proposal

Proposers or their authorized representatives are expected to fully inform themselves as to the conditions, requirements, and specifications before submitting proposals. Failure to do so will be at the company's own risk. In case of an error in the extension of prices in the proposal, the unit price shall govern. If an error is made before submitting the proposal, the company may withdraw its proposal electronically through the City's eProcurement Portal and may resubmit prior to the stated proposal submission deadline. The City reserves the right to waive any informalities, technical defects, and minor irregularities in proposals received.

2.12. Award Criteria

The award shall be made to a company that submits the highest-scoring proposal, taking into consideration product or service quality, past performance, and compliance with the stated terms, conditions, and specifications. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City of Rock Hill reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, to accept any proposal submitted, waive any informality, and negotiate with the low Proposer(s) on any changes that the City of Rock Hill considers necessary or desirable for its own interests. The City alone shall make such determination.

In addition, the City of Rock Hill's Procurement Policies and Procedures Manual, as amended or supplemented from time to time, is hereby incorporated by this reference and shall apply to this

All retainages will be paid when all issues, in the sole opinion of the City, have been resolved, and retainage may be held until the project completion.

• City Data License and Permitted Use: The City shall retain all right, title, and ownership interest in all City-provided data, roadway imagery, photographs, video, motion data, GIS data, and City-specific data generated, collected, processed, or created through the use of the contracted services.

The Company shall not receive any perpetual, irrevocable, unrestricted, transferable, or sublicensable license to City data.

• Restriction on Data Use: The Company shall not sell, license, sublicense, distribute, disclose, publish, commercialize, transfer, repurpose, or otherwise use City data or City-specific data for any purpose other than performing the contracted services, unless expressly authorized in advance in writing by the City.

• City-Specific and Derived Data: For purposes of this agreement, City-specific data shall include, without limitation, roadway imagery, photographs, video, motion data, GIS data, roadway condition information, asset information, pavement condition scores, assessments, observations, reports, work-order information, and other information generated or derived specifically from the City's roadway network or other City-provided information.
