Bridge analysis, design and rating software

The Idaho Transportation Department is conducting a Request for Quotes (RFQ) for Bridge Analysis, Design and Rating Software, specifically seeking CSiBridge Advanced with Rating Software or an equivalent product. The procurement is for a cloud-based software system that enables 3D finite element modeling and analysis of bridges, with load rating functionality that meets AASHTO bridge design specifications. The software must include product and support maintenance, updates, and security patches for an initial one-year term, with potential renewal options for up to five years total. Vendors must be authorized distributors of the software and submit quotes via the LUMA eProcurement system or email. The evaluation will focus on responsiveness, vendor responsibility, and the lowest five-year total cost, with the software requiring electronic delivery within seven days of order and acceptance occurring 14 days after delivery. The RFQ closing date is October 23, 2023, and the procurement is specifically for Ada County and the broader state of Idaho transportation infrastructure needs.

The contract appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must certify they are not owned or operated by the government of China, in compliance with Idaho Code section 67-2359. The pricing structure requires a firm fixed price for the initial term, with potential increases limited to the actual cost increase or 3%, whichever is lower, upon contract renewal. The software license quantity is one, with maintenance and support costs included for years two through five. Vendors must provide certificates of insurance, including commercial general liability, workers compensation, and cyber risk insurance. While no incumbent vendor is explicitly mentioned, the state requires the software to integrate with existing network infrastructure and meet specific technical requirements. The administrative documentation suggests a total budget and contract value will be determined based on the lowest responsive vendor quote.
