MassDOT Telecomm Equipmnt

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is seeking vendors to provide telecommunication equipment, parts, and services required to ensure the safe operation, maintenance, and monitoring of traffic conditions throughout the Massachusetts transportation network statewide. This includes new equipment purchases, replacement parts, equipment upgrades, operating supplies, maintenance and repair, and engineering and design services. MassDOT plans to establish pre-qualified Master Service Agreements, with multiple awards anticipated. The contract term is up to 5 years initially, with two 3-year renewal options available, for a total potential term of up to 11 years. Pricing will be evaluated based on hourly rates and percentage discounts from list/catalogue prices, with best overall value being the priority, not necessarily the lowest price. MassDOT has also included requirements related to the Commonwealth's Supplier Diversity Program, insurance, and other standard contract terms and conditions.

The procurement is open to all qualified vendors, but MassDOT is seeking commitments from prime bidders to subcontract a specific percentage of the contract value to certified Supplier Diversity Program (SDP) partners, which include Minority/Women Business Enterprises (M/WBE), Minority/Women Nonprofit Organizations (M/WNPO), Veteran Business Enterprises (VBE), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Enterprises (SDVOBE), Disability-Owned Business Enterprises (DOBE), and LGBTBE-certified firms. The estimated value of the resulting contract, including renewal options, is $3.25 million.
