GPS Survey Equipment

The Lincoln Water Commission (LWC) is seeking competitive proposals for GPS Survey Equipment to support its mapping and asset management initiatives in Providence County, Rhode Island. The procurement requires a comprehensive equipment package including a GNSS Receiver capable of submeter horizontal accuracy, a 5G-enabled Data Collector, a telescoping carbon fiber pole, pole mount, carrying cases, spare batteries, and a yearly RTK network subscription. The equipment must integrate seamlessly with ESRI's ArcGIS Online mapping platform and ESRI Field Maps collection software, with potential compatibility for work order and asset management systems like NOVOTOX EXS. Proposals are due on Friday, June 6, 2025, by 1:00 pm, with no pre-bid conference scheduled. The evaluation methodology will weight qualifications at 25% and cost at 75%, with the LWC reserving the right to award part or all of the proposed scope. Successful bidders must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including worker's compensation, general liability, automobile liability, and professional liability insurance with specified minimum coverage amounts.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for specific types of organizations. The successful proposer will be required to provide a half-day on-site training demonstrating equipment integration with ArcGIS Online and data collection via ESRI's Field Maps, along with a two-year complete warranty for all purchased equipment. All costs associated with equipment shipping and delivery must be included in the bid items, with payment to be considered monthly for work performed and approved by LWC. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the equipment requirements suggests a significant investment in geospatial technology infrastructure. The current technology ecosystem includes ESRI's ArcGIS Online platform and potential integration with work order and asset management systems, indicating a sophisticated approach to municipal water resource management and mapping technology.
