REBID - Automated License Plate Recognition Maintenance Services - IFB

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is seeking a vendor to maintain and host the existing Automated License Plate Recognition and USDOT Number Recognition (ALPR) system located at the Maryville Weigh Station in Illinois. The ALPR system is used to screen commercial motor vehicles to verify credentials and safety ratings. The resulting contract will have an initial term of three years, with an option for IDOT to renew for one additional three-year term. Bids are due by February 24, 2020 at 1:30 PM Central Time. The IFB provides detailed specifications for the hardware and software of the existing ALPR system, and outlines the maintenance and hosting services required. Pricing is requested in an annual cost format for the initial three-year term.

This procurement has a 1% Business Enterprise Program (BEP) goal. Vendors must submit a Utilization Plan demonstrating how they will meet the BEP participation requirement, either through self-performance or by subcontracting to certified BEP firms. Failure to complete and include the Utilization Plan will render the bid non-responsive. The State will award the contract to the responsive and responsible bidder who submits the lowest price. The total contract value for the initial three-year term is not specified, but the annual cost structure indicates this is a significant procurement for ALPR maintenance and hosting services in Lasalle County, Illinois.
