GPS survey equipment

Westchester County is seeking to procure GPS survey equipment through Request for Quotation (RFQ) RFQ-WC250858, with proposals due on November 5, 2025. The procurement focuses on highly specialized positioning and surveying technology with rigorous technical specifications, including precise GPS equipment capable of delivering static, PPK, and RTK positioning modes with horizontal and vertical measurement tolerances ranging from 4-14 mm plus parts per million. The technical requirements mandate comprehensive radio communication capabilities, encompassing LoRa radio (868/915 MHz with up to 8 km range), UHF radio (410-470 MHz), and LTE modem functionalities supporting multiple global communication bands including FDD-LTE and TD-LTE. Vendors must submit alternate brands or items that precisely match these extensive technical specifications, demonstrating exact compliance with accuracy measurements, radio frequency ranges, power output, and global communication band compatibility. The procurement appears designed for advanced geospatial data collection and surveying applications, requiring vendors to provide equipment that meets stringent technological performance standards.

The county's procurement guidelines encourage participation from Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises (MBE/WBE), with specific provisions promoting diversity in vendor selection. Bidders must comply with federal, state, and county regulations, and all successful vendors will be required to use electronic funds transfer (EFT) for payments. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the technical complexity suggests a significant investment in advanced surveying technology. The county reserves the right to reject any bid and evaluate equivalent products, emphasizing a comprehensive and competitive selection process. Vendors must also adhere to additional requirements such as lead-free standards for applicable items and demonstrate compliance with anti-collusion provisions. The procurement process underscores Westchester County's commitment to obtaining high-quality, technologically advanced equipment through a transparent and inclusive bidding process.
