MoDOT Request for Information for On-Board Truck Scale

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Central Office Fleet Division has issued a Request for Information (RFI) number RFI605CO24001674 seeking detailed information from vendors regarding on-board truck scale systems. The RFI, which opens on February 29, 2024, at 2:00:00 PM GMT and closes on March 15, 2024, at 7:00:00 PM GMT, is designed to gather comprehensive vendor insights about truck scale systems that meet or exceed MoDOT's general specifications. Vendors are required to submit their system information electronically through the MissouriBUYS procurement system, with all technical questions directed to John Hayden via email at john.hayden@modot.mo.gov or by phone at 573-522-5233. The primary objective is to conduct market research and understand the current capabilities of on-board truck scale technologies, with vendors encouraged to provide detailed information about their systems' features, performance, and compatibility with potential MoDOT requirements. The RFI does not constitute a formal solicitation but serves as a preliminary investigation to potentially inform a future procurement process for truck scale equipment.

The RFI demonstrates a commitment to inclusive procurement by encouraging participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with target participation rates of 10% MBE and 5% WBE. No specific incumbent vendors are identified, and the document does not provide an estimated total value or budget range for the potential future procurement. The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) will be exempt from paying Missouri Sales Tax, Missouri Use Tax, and Federal Excise Tax, though contractors may be responsible for taxes on materials purchased to fulfill any eventual contract. Vendors of all sizes and backgrounds are welcome to respond, with no explicit restrictions on organizational types. The RFI specifies delivery terms as Free On Board Destination with vendor-specified payment terms, indicating flexibility in potential future contractual arrangements. While no specific technical infrastructure integration requirements are detailed, vendors are expected to provide comprehensive information about their on-board truck scale systems' capabilities, potentially including technological specifications, performance metrics, and compatibility with existing MoDOT fleet management systems.
