Automated Tire Screening (ATS) System for MSP CVED

The Michigan State Police (MSP) Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division is seeking proposals for a one-time purchase of an Automated Tire Screening (ATS) System to enhance traffic safety by detecting vehicles with dangerous tire violations. Bidders must be the manufacturer or a manufacturer-authorized distributor, as no alternate bids will be accepted. The system must be able to detect and identify underinflated, flat, or missing tires on commercial vehicles traveling at speeds of 20 to 75 mph, meeting specific accuracy requirements and being compatible with existing highway pavements. Bidders must provide warranty information and commit to delivery and installation by September 30, 2024. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder who meets the requirements and offers the lowest overall price. The RFP timeline includes a deadline for bidder questions on March 25, 2024, with answers to be posted on March 27, 2024. The proposal deadline is April 3, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern, and the anticipated contract begin date is April 10, 2024.

The contract opportunity involves the installation of the ATS System across multiple jurisdictions in Ingham County, including the cities of Lansing. The addendum indicates that if the pavement construction at the Monroe SB Weigh Station is not completed by the contract end date of 9/30/24, the ATS System installation at that location would be postponed until the pavement work is finished, with the timing to be mutually agreed upon between the awarded contractor and MSP CVED. The contract term and any renewal options are not specified, and pricing, set-asides, incumbent information, and funding sources are not provided in the addendum.
