3D Ground Penetrating Radar

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is conducting a single-source procurement for the purchase and installation of one (1) 3D Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) System. This specialized testing equipment is designed to operate at highway speeds and collect non-destructive sub-surface condition data of roadways and bridge decks. FDOT has determined that this equipment is only available from the sole manufacturer, Kontur US Inc., and there are no known competitive alternatives. The estimated dollar amount for this purchase is $271,769.18. Vendor information must be received by 5:00 PM (EST) on April 19, 2023, and if FDOT determines that the commodities or services are available only from a single source, it will post a notice of its intended decision to enter a single-source purchase contract on the Vendor Bid System, in accordance with Florida Statutes. The procurement is being conducted at the state level by FDOT, with potential local-level participation from Leon County and the City of Tampa. The 3D GPR system is intended to eliminate the need for maintenance of traffic, minimize impact on the traveling public, and improve safety and efficiency over traditional push-cart GPR systems.

This procurement is designated as a single-source purchase, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The known vendor is Kontur US Inc., and there is no information provided on any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The budget range for this procurement is $271,769.18.
