Mobile LiDAR Scanner (MLS)

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Mobile LiDAR Scanner (MLS) system to serve Marion County and the City of Salem. The procurement seeks a comprehensive mobile lidar system with a minimum of two scan heads capable of collecting data at 1 million points per second, with 360-degree coverage and a measurement range from 1 to over 100 meters. The RFP requires the system to include maintenance, support, and training services, with technical specifications detailed in Attachment G. Proposers must provide a lump sum price for the base system and have the option to propose additional hardware or software features. The evaluation will consider technical capabilities, pricing, and Oregon's preference policies, with a focus on promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. Key dates include a proposal due date of May 31, 2023, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time, with an anticipated award notification and negotiation period following the submission deadline.

The RFP encourages participation from certified small businesses and appears to have no strict set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Riegl USA, Inc. has been selected as the top-ranked firm for negotiations of the price agreement, indicating they are the apparent successful proposer. The contract is structured as a non-exclusive agreement with an initial term and potential extensions up to a maximum of 10 years. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement allows for flexible pricing that includes the base mobile lidar system and optional additional features. The contract may result in ODOT issuing purchase orders and work order contracts to procure goods and services. Proposers must demonstrate responsibility by providing documentation such as financial statements, performance history, and compliance with various state requirements. The final price agreement will require the contractor to provide the most favorable pricing and comply with specified warranty, reporting, and technical support conditions.
