About this opportunity

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is seeking a research contractor to conduct a comprehensive Continuous Friction Measuring Equipment (CFME) Assessment and Testing Results project for Florida pavements. The solicitation, identified as DOT-RFP-25-9077-CA, aims to advance continuous friction measurement technologies to enhance road safety and optimize maintenance strategies. The project requires a vendor to perform a nationwide review of current CFME programs, conduct a gap analysis of the department's pavement friction management program, develop test plans, and harmonize locked-wheel friction testing (LWFT) and CFME methodologies. Key deliverables include creating implementation strategies for a new skid hazard reporting program and developing a strategic roadmap for friction management. The technical proposal will be evaluated on a 100-point scale, requiring a minimum score of 70 points to be considered responsive, with an additional 10 points allocated to pricing. Proposals are due on May 13, 2025, at 3:00 PM local time, with the project scheduled to run through December 31, 2027.

Bidders must be registered in the State of Florida's MyFloridaMarketPlace system and comply with several state-specific requirements. Out-of-state corporations must be authorized to do business in Florida and obtain proper licensing through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation if applicable. The solicitation includes provisions for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation and requires vendors to provide a drug-free workplace certification. Vendors are subject to scrutiny under Section 287.135, which prohibits contracting with companies on certain scrutinized companies lists, particularly for contracts exceeding $1 million. The total maximum budgetary amount for this contract is $325,000, with compensation structured as lump sum payments across eight specific project tasks. The Department reserves the right to award the contract to the most advantageous proposer and may potentially renew the contract for up to three years based on satisfactory performance and available funding. All payments will be subject to a MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) Transaction Fee, with travel expenses reimbursed according to Section 112.061 of Florida Statutes.
