Michigan AWOS Weather Station Upgrade Project 2023

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Michigan AWOS Weather Station Upgrade Project 2023, which involves upgrading the state's Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) network across multiple jurisdictions, including Ingham County and the City of Lansing. The project aims to replace aging AWOS units with newer technology to minimize system outages and improve safety and efficiency for the state's aviation system. The contractor will be required to provide manufacturer-specific AWOS upgrade package parts, including sensors, processors, and voice subsystems, as well as conduct training for MDOT AWOS technicians. The project has a proposed contract start date of August 15, 2023, and the contractor must complete the upgrades within 90 calendar days of the order. The RFP specifies detailed technical requirements for the AWOS components, and the contractor must be an FAA-certified authorized distributor of AWOS IIIPT systems.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. However, the contractor must have the capability to provide the required AWOS equipment and services, and the State will evaluate proposals based on the lowest overall cost. There is no information provided on any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor on the existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The budget range for the project is also not specified in the available documents.
