GIS Database System RFI

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has issued an electronic Request for Information (eRFI) seeking vendor solutions for the creation of a centralized Utility geodatabase that leverages the Department's enterprise IT and GIS platforms. This procurement is designed to identify methods for storing, consolidating, and maintaining utility data by integrating current information from GDOT applications and systems into the Department's enterprise GIS platform. Key deliverables and objectives include identifying viable marketplace solutions that address GDOT's specific needs for utility data management, further defining technical and functional requirements, establishing realistic budgets, and developing implementation plans. The RFI was posted on September 26, 2022, with a deadline for submission of October 11, 2022. GDOT intends to use responses from this eRFI to inform future procurement decisions and may request demonstrations of proposed systems and components from selected vendors. Qualified suppliers who provide compelling solutions may be notified by GDOT to participate in subsequent solicitations that could result in implementation contracts.

The RFI document does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to particular types of organizations or disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requirements are identified in the available procurement documentation. Similarly, the RFI does not disclose potential award values or specific budget ranges, as the primary purpose of this information-gathering solicitation is to establish baseline requirements and cost parameters rather than to commit funds at this stage. Interested suppliers should note that participation in responding to this RFI does not guarantee selection for future contract opportunities, though positive submissions may lead to invitations to participate in subsequent, more formal competitive procurement processes.
