Image Sensing System Remote Traffic Microwave Sensors (RTMS)

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), specifically the St. Louis District, is conducting a Single Feasible Source (SFS) procurement for Image Sensing System Remote Traffic Microwave Sensors (RTMS) and associated replacement parts and interfacing cables. The solicitation seeks replacement freeway radar detectors that are essential components of the district's Intelligent Transportation System, which is controlled by the Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS) software. MoDOT has determined that only Image Sensing Systems, Inc. can provide these proprietary products, with Traffic Control Corporation serving as the sole authorized distributor in Missouri. The procurement is designed to ensure synchronization with existing highway facilities and maintain the current system's warranty and compatibility. The solicitation period runs from June 15, 2021, to June 22, 2021, with all responses required to be submitted electronically through the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system by 10:00 AM CDT on June 22, 2021. Evaluation criteria will focus on pricing, responsiveness, and the ability to meet mandatory specifications, with MoDOT reserving the right to reject any and all bids.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with target participation rates of 10% MBE and 5% WBE, though these are not mandatory requirements. Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprise (SDVE) participation is also requested. The procurement applies the Domestic Products Procurement Act for purchases over $25,000, which requires U.S. manufactured goods and offers a 10% price preference for American-made products. No specific budget range is provided in the documents, but the procurement is structured as a single award to Traffic Control Corporation as the authorized distributor for Image Sensing Systems, Inc. The existing infrastructure involves the St. Louis District's Advanced Transportation Management System, which requires these specific sensors for continued operation and synchronization. The contract terms include Free On Board Destination delivery and Net 30 Days payment terms. All vendors are eligible to respond, but MoDOT has effectively predetermined the award based on the single feasible source determination.
