This is a proposer checklist exhibit for the Washington State Department of Transportation's Request for Proposals RFP-2026-0911 for Roadway Toll Systems Modernization Programs. WSDOT is soliciting proposals from interested bidders to design, develop, implement, operate, and maintain roadway toll systems in Washington State through two independently awarded and evaluated contracts: Open Road Tolling (ORT) RTS and Side-Fire RTS. Bidders are required to submit a mandatory Letter of Intent to the RFP Administrator by the deadline specified in Table 1 of the RFP and attend a mandatory bidders meeting with registration. The proposal must address all RFP requirements and amendments, organized into required sections including a letter of submittal, table of contents, executive summary, proposal narrative, technical requirements compliance matrix, key personnel resumes, price proposal, required documents, corporate financial information, and a contract issues list if taking exceptions to contract terms. Bidders must submit separate PDF and Excel files for technical proposals, price proposals, financial information, and required forms.

The checklist encompasses comprehensive administrative and proposal requirements that bidders must satisfy for submission consideration. Required documentation includes a bidders certification, diverse business inclusion plan for subcontractors, organizational conflicts of interest certification and disclosure forms, Washington State prevailing wage rates, information on previous state contracts and subcontractors, prior contract performance documentation, insurance requirements, audited and reviewed financial statements with independent accountant review reports or auditor reports, net sales information with recent Dun and Bradstreet credit reports, and a completed bidders contract issues list for any exceptions to contract terms found in Exhibit 11A. The checklist emphasizes that bidders must confirm compliance with all listed requirements and notify WSDOT immediately of any ambiguities or conflicts relating to submittal requirements.
