IFB - Online Aerial Imagery Services

The Illinois Tollway is seeking a vendor to provide high-resolution aerial photography subscription services for northeastern Illinois. This procurement is being conducted through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) process, with electronic submissions required pursuant to CPO Notice 2020.06. The IFB requires the selected vendor to deliver aerial photography services that meet specific resolution and coverage requirements for the northeastern Illinois region. Key objectives include providing comprehensive, up-to-date aerial imagery to support the Tollway's operations and infrastructure management. The deadline for vendor questions is March 16, 2021 at 10:00 am CDT, and proposals are due by March 19, 2021. This opportunity was initially posted in 2019 but was cancelled due to all received bids being at clearly unreasonable prices.

The IFB does not include any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. However, the Tollway may have a preference for vendors with experience integrating aerial imagery data with existing infrastructure and technology platforms. While an award value or budget range is not explicitly stated, the Tollway is seeking comprehensive aerial photography services to support its operations, so the total contract value could be substantial.
