The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is pursuing a single-source procurement for AASHTOware PermitRoute, a cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) system designed for oversized/overweight vehicle permitting and routing services. This procurement, specific to Leon County, seeks to acquire a comprehensive permit management system that enables customers to apply for oversized vehicle permits, transfer application information, and facilitate permitting processes between public and maintenance offices. The system includes advanced features such as reporting capabilities, GIS mapping, and customized configurations and support. Key objectives include integrating two existing permit systems to streamline operational costs and efficiency, with specific capabilities encompassing GIS & Restrictions, Bridge Analysis, System Integrations, Permit Types & Workflows, and specialized support. The procurement notice was posted on February 27, 2025, with vendor information required to be submitted by 5:00 PM EST on March 20, 2025, via the specified email address. FDOT will review submitted information and subsequently post its intended decision to enter a single-source purchase contract on the Vendor Information Portal, in accordance with Florida Statutes section 120.57(3).
The procurement appears to be exclusively targeting AASHTO as the sole source vendor, with no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. The proposed contract term is four years, with a total estimated contract value of $3,951,250.00. The implementation is structured across fiscal years 2025-2027, with Permit Application System (PAS) work commencing in March and Oversized Permit (OSP) work beginning in August. AASHTO's AASHTOware PermitRoute, powered by ProMiles, is positioned as uniquely capable of providing the required services, suggesting limited competitive alternatives for this specific technological solution. The system will integrate with existing technological infrastructure, focusing on consolidating and enhancing current permitting processes. Vendor qualifications appear to center on specialized software capabilities in permit routing, GIS mapping, and comprehensive transportation permit management systems.
