Automatic Road Analyzer - ARAN 9000 Service Agreement

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has issued a Single Feasible Source (SFS) solicitation for a one-year service agreement for two existing ARAN 9000 road analysis vehicles. The solicitation, numbered SFS605CO23002157, specifically seeks comprehensive support services from Fugro Roadware, which has been determined as the sole vendor capable of providing these specialized services. The service agreement covers baseline support, software support and maintenance (including ARAN Core Software and Vision Software), on-site preventative maintenance, and two Omnistar subscriptions for the two ARAN 9000 units. The contract period runs from April 1, 2023, through March 31, 2024, with responses due by March 24, 2023, at 2:00 PM CDT. MoDOT will evaluate bids based on compliance with mandatory specifications, considering factors such as price, vendor responsibility, and overall bid responsiveness. Electronic submissions are required through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System, with hard copy submissions potentially permitted with prior buyer approval.

The solicitation encourages participation from minority business enterprises (MBE) and women business enterprises (WBE), with specific participation goals of 10% and 5%, respectively. While no specific contract value was disclosed, the procurement is structured to allow subcontractors, suppliers, and joint ventures to meet these diversity participation requirements. Fugro Roadware is identified as the incumbent and only feasible source for these services, with the determination based on the proprietary nature of the ARAN 9000 equipment and the need for factory-authorized maintenance to maintain warranty validity. The procurement follows Missouri Code of State Regulations 7 CSR 10-11.020(5)(A) and 7CSR10-11.020(5)(B) for single feasible source acquisitions. Payment terms are set at Net 30 Days with Free On Board Destination delivery, and MoDOT reserves the right to reject any and all bids that do not meet the mandatory specifications or requirements.
