Automatic Road Analyzer - ARAN 9000 Service Agreement

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has issued a Single Feasible Source (SFSR) solicitation for a one-year service agreement for existing Automatic Road Analyzer (ARAN) 9000 equipment. The procurement specifically targets Fugro Roadware as the sole provider of services for two ARAN 9000 units, covering baseline support, software support and maintenance, on-site preventative maintenance, and Omnistar subscriptions. The contract period runs from April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022, with the solicitation period open from February 8, 2021 to February 15, 2021 at 2:00 PM CST. MoDOT has determined that Fugro Roadware is the only feasible source for these services due to the proprietary nature of the ARAN 9000 equipment and associated software. Vendors can submit responses electronically through the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system or via hard copy, with electronic submissions preferred. The solicitation is open to all vendors, though only Fugro Roadware meets the specific requirements for the service agreement.

The solicitation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors are explicitly identified beyond Fugro Roadware being the current and proposed service provider. The procurement covers existing ARAN 9000 infrastructure, with the primary objective of maintaining the equipment's warranty and ensuring continued operational capabilities. While the estimated total contract value is not specified in the documents, the solicitation notes that for single feasible source purchases over $5,000, MoDOT will post notice of the proposed purchase, and for purchases over $25,000, additional advertising requirements may apply. The contract includes payment terms of Net 30 Days with Free On Board Destination delivery, and follows the Missouri Code of State Regulation 7 CSR 10-11.020 for single feasible source procurement. The solicitation emphasizes the critical nature of maintaining the proprietary ARAN 9000 equipment through factory-authorized maintenance to preserve equipment functionality and warranty.
