Notice of Intent to Award with Q-Free America, Inc..pdf

This is a Notice of Intent to Award a sole source contract issued by Clackamas County, Oregon for the procurement of advanced traffic control equipment from Q-Free America, Inc. The county intends to purchase MAXTIME ic and Kinetic Signals advanced traffic controllers, which are the specific models approved by the Oregon Department of Transportation. The procurement is being conducted as a sole source acquisition due to the special qualifications and requirements necessitated by ODOT approval standards. The estimated contract value is $230,538.00. A protest period has been established, with entities permitted to submit protests in accordance with LCRB C-047-0710 no later than March 27, 2024 at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. Protests must be submitted via email to the Procurement Contract Analyst, Michael Faris, at MFaris@clackamas.us.

The sole source justification is based on the manufacturer-direct sales requirement for the ODOT-approved traffic controller models, eliminating the need for competitive bidding. The contract procurement is being conducted under local purchasing regulations and does not appear to be associated with the concurrent NASPO ValuePoint facilities and industrial supply cooperative procurement being conducted by the State of Oregon, though both solicitations were noticed on the same date. Additional information regarding the sole source determination may be obtained by contacting Michael Faris at the Clackamas County Procurement office.
