16-25 (25) 2070 LC Traffic Controllers

The City of Valdosta Purchasing Department is seeking to procure twenty-five (25) brand new Model 2070LX Traffic Controllers with 2E+ I/O cards, without CPUs, that meet or exceed current Georgia Department of Transportation (GA DOT) standards through Invitation to Bid #16-25. The procurement is specifically for traffic control equipment to be delivered FOB Valdosta, with bidders required to provide detailed specifications and clearly mark any deviations from minimum requirements. The bid opening is scheduled for April 29, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST, with bid submissions due at the City Hall Purchasing Department located at 216 E. Central Ave, 2nd Floor, Valdosta, GA 31601. Bidders must submit sealed bids with the bid number written on the outside envelope, with no electronic or faxed bids accepted. The City of Valdosta reserves the right to accept or reject any bids and will make the final purchasing decision based on what is deemed in the best interest of the city.

The procurement includes cooperative procurement provisions allowing other governmental entities to potentially utilize the contract for 12 months following the award. Bidders must complete a non-collusion affidavit and a Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act affidavit to demonstrate regulatory compliance. Payment terms are approximately 30 days after receipt of goods, with options for credit card payment. Contracts exceeding $25,000 will require approval from the Mayor and City Council. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, vendors should be prepared to meet Georgia state procurement regulations and demonstrate the ability to provide traffic control equipment that meets GA DOT standards. The bid does not specify a precise budget range, but the procurement of 25 traffic controllers suggests a significant equipment investment for the City of Valdosta's infrastructure upgrade or replacement needs.
