IFB - Online Aerial Imagery Services

The Illinois Tollway is seeking a vendor to provide high-resolution aerial photography subscription services for northeastern Illinois through an Invitation for Bid (IFB). The Tollway requires a minimum 6-inch pixel resolution, 3-foot horizontal accuracy, annual frequency (with preference for multiple times per year), and coverage extending at least 0.5 miles from Tollway right-of-way within select counties. The contract will have an initial 3-year term with an option to renew for up to 3 additional years, for a maximum total of 10 years. Bids are due by October 20, 2020 and must be submitted electronically through the State's BidBuy procurement system, as the Tollway will not accept any paper submissions per CPO Notice 2020.06. The IFB specifies firm, fixed pricing for the initial and optional renewal terms, with no price increases allowed for the renewal period.

The Tollway has not identified any set-aside requirements, but has included provisions for Minority Contractor Initiative fees, Veteran Small Business participation, and Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities participation if applicable. Funding for the contract will be from Tollway revenue sources, not state appropriations. The Tollway has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there is no information provided on any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The IFB does not specify an estimated award value or budget range.
