Automated License Plate Recognition Maintenance Services - IFB

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for Automated License Plate Recognition Maintenance Services. IDOT is seeking a vendor to maintain and host the existing Automated License Plate Recognition and USDOT Number Recognition (ALPR) installation located at the Maryville Weigh Station in Illinois. The ALPR system screens commercial vehicles to allow the Illinois State Police to verify the credential and safety status of commercial motor vehicles at fixed sites and in a mobile roadside environment. The resulting contract will have an initial term of three years, with an option to renew for up to an additional three years. Vendors must have at least three years of experience with ALPR and electronic screening system design, configuration, installation, and testing. The procurement has a 1% Business Enterprise Program (BEP) goal, but no Veteran Small Business (VSB) goal. Pricing is requested on an annual basis for the fixed site hardware, mobile ALPR van hardware, and software hosting services, with the total cost for the initial three-year term provided. The State will award the contract to the responsive and responsible bidder submitting the lowest price.

This contract opportunity does not specify any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The IFB indicates the State has an existing ALPR installation at the Maryville Weigh Station that requires maintenance and hosting services. The total award value is not provided, but the IFB outlines annual pricing requirements for the various hardware and software components. Vendors must be registered in the Illinois Procurement Gateway (IPG) and complete the required Forms A or Forms B depending on their registration status.
