Aerial Lidar AVL - Kane County

The Utah Department of Technology Services, in collaboration with the Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center (AGRC), is conducting an invitation-only Request for Bid/Quotes (RFQ) for an Aerial LiDAR project in Kane County. This procurement is specifically targeted at prequalified vendors on the State of Utah's Approved Vendor List (AVL), with bids due on September 16, 2019, at 11:00 AM Mountain Time. The project requires a qualified vendor to capture, process, and deliver high-quality airborne LiDAR data products that meet precise technical specifications outlined in the attached Scope of Work. Vendors are expressly prohibited from communicating with procurement staff or evaluation committee members outside of the designated procurement officer. The solicitation emphasizes strict compliance with technical requirements, with multiple or alternate bids being explicitly disallowed. Evaluation will likely focus on the vendor's ability to meet the detailed technical specifications for LiDAR data capture and processing, with particular attention to data quality, accuracy, and adherence to the project's specific geospatial requirements.

The procurement is restricted to vendors currently on the State of Utah's Pre-approved/Prequalified Vendor list, effectively limiting competitive participation. No specific pricing structure or explicit budget range was provided in the available documentation. The procurement is structured as a secondary step in an existing Approved Vendor List (AVL) solicitation, meaning that terms and conditions from the original master agreement will be incorporated into this specific bid/RFQ. The project involves a single unit of Aerial LiDAR data collection for Kane County, suggesting a focused and potentially limited scope of work. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned, the invitation-only nature of the solicitation implies a highly controlled vendor selection process. The procurement appears to be part of a larger geospatial data collection initiative, potentially indicating ongoing or future similar projects across Utah's counties. No information was provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration with the new LiDAR data products.
