Pavement Deflection System (PDS)

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is seeking to procure a Pavement Deflection System (PDS) through a single-source contract with Dynatest US Inc. The PDS is a critical tool for FDOT's design and structural evaluation programs, as it must be capable of performing a complete test sequence within 15 seconds or less. The deflection data gathered from the system will be used for monitoring, assessing, and reporting on the condition and performance of Florida's roadways for pavement design and safety purposes. The estimated dollar amount for this procurement is $185,010.80, and the contract opportunity is applicable to Leon County and the City of Tallahassee. The procurement process requires FDOT to provide notice of its intended decision to enter a single-source purchase contract in accordance with Florida Statutes, and the deadline for submissions is April 10, 2024.

FDOT has determined that Dynatest US Inc. is the only known vendor in Florida that can meet the Department's requirements for the PDS. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this opportunity. The incumbent vendor is Dynatest US Inc., and the Department is not aware of any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The budget for this procurement is fixed at $185,010.80.
