License plate reader software maintenance-riviera weigh station

The Texas Department of Public Safety is seeking a qualified contractor to provide a four-year maintenance plan for license plate reader software and equipment at the Riviera Weigh Station, specifically supporting the Smart Roadside Inspection System (SRIS) Program for Commercial Vehicle Enforcement (CVE). The solicitation (Number 405-25R0010212) requires comprehensive maintenance services including scheduled inspections, warranty coverage, unplanned repair services, remote system monitoring, operator training, and lifecycle support. Contractors will be responsible for physical system checks, software upgrades, system testing, and calibration of roadside equipment. Bids are due by 5:00 PM Central Time on July 25, 2025, with an anticipated contract award date of August 8, 2025, and a contract term running through August 31, 2029. The Department of Public Safety reserves the right to extend performance for up to six months if needed, and will evaluate bids based on best value rather than lowest price. Potential bidders must demonstrate organizational capabilities, provide details about key personnel, and showcase past performance in similar technological maintenance environments.

The procurement includes a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) goal of 26.0% for other services contracts, with specific requirements for prime contractors to outline subcontracting plans and demonstrate good faith efforts to include Texas certified HUB vendors. Contractors must comply with Texas Government Code regulations, including notifying potential subcontractors within ten working days of contract award and submitting monthly compliance reports. The solicitation includes multiple certification requirements, such as verifying eligibility for state contracts, confirming no delinquent franchise taxes, meeting equal employment opportunity standards, and ensuring no business relationships with entities from restricted countries like Iran, China, or North Korea. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, the contract appears to be for ongoing maintenance of existing license plate reader infrastructure at the Riviera Weigh Station. Though a precise budget range is not explicitly stated, the four-year maintenance contract suggests a significant investment in technological support and infrastructure maintenance for the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement program.
