Closed-Circuit Television Camera Assemblies

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) are soliciting proposals for Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Camera Assemblies to support MoDOT's St. Louis District operations. The procurement seeks complete camera assemblies including cameras, mounting brackets, Power-Over-Ethernet (POE) injectors, surge protection devices, and connectors, with an estimated quantity of 30 complete assemblies plus individual component line items for future separate purchases. The CCTV camera assemblies must meet extensive technical specifications including 1/2.8" progressive scan CMOS image sensors, varifocal lenses with 4.3mm to 137.6mm focal length, 30X optical zoom capability, H.264 video encoding with at least four semi-independently configurable streams, ONVIF Profile S compliance, pan-tilt-zoom capabilities with 360-degree endless rotation, IP66 environmental rating, and operating temperature range of -58°F to 122°F, with optional video analytics such as wrong-way driver detection and vehicle classification. Manufacturers of shortlisted cameras must provide one sample unit for a 30-day on-site testing evaluation period prior to final selection. The RFP was issued on April 15, 2026, with a deadline for written questions by April 29, 2026, an amendment issued by May 7, 2026, and proposal submissions due by May 18, 2026 at 2:00 PM Central Time. The contract period extends from the date of award through June 30, 2027, with options for up to two additional one-year renewal periods. Vendors must submit a proposal bond prior to the bid end date and may submit proposals electronically through MissouriBUYS, by mail via USPS, UPS, or FedEx, or as hard copy submissions with five business days' advance notice to the buyer of record, Ashten Lorts.

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the solicitation documents; however, MoDOT is offering cooperative purchasing to Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities, and bidders are encouraged to pursue minority business enterprise (MBE) and women business enterprise (WBE) participation through subcontractors or joint ventures. All vendors must register in MissouriBUYS and complete multiple compliance exhibits including worker eligibility verification, proof of lawful presence, anti-discrimination certifications, buy American certification, and proposal bond documentation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available solicitation documents, and no specific budget ranges or estimated award values are disclosed. Vendors must submit separate pricing for the complete camera assembly and for individual components including POE injectors, surge protection devices, mounting brackets, connectors, and cameras, with optional line items for surveillance cards. The solicitation does not identify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration with the proposed CCTV systems.
