PDX Upgrade and Laser replacement along with pit iighting installs

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is seeking to enter into a single source contract with Mettler Toledo for the PDX Upgrade and Laser replacement along with pit lighting installs. The work involves upgrading the scale systems, including replacing load cells in existing scales, rewiring LED lights in the scale pits, and providing the Laser Dimensioning system for mainline sites. The scales must be certified upon completion of the work. The estimated dollar amount of the contract is $753,938, and the contract term is one year. Mettler Toledo is the sole source for this work as the current Statewide Scale Maintenance contractor. The existing computer systems for the scales were developed by Mettler Toledo, and the associated load cells and other equipment are a proprietary system. Mettler Toledo holds the copyrights to the software and systems and does not have any resellers for the Scale Management software/hardware integration.

This procurement is restricted to Mettler Toledo as the sole source provider for the required goods and services. The incumbent vendor, Mettler Toledo, is the current Statewide Scale Maintenance contractor and holds the proprietary rights to the existing computer systems, load cells, and other scale equipment. As such, no other vendors can provide the necessary integration and maintenance of the existing infrastructure. The total estimated value of the contract is $753,938, and the contract term is one year.
