REBID: Illinois Work Zone Activity Data Program - RFP

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is seeking proposals for the Illinois Work Zone Activity Data Program RFP Rebid. The Agency aims to develop a pilot Work Zone Data Exchange (WZDx)-compliant data feed and establish a framework to fill data gaps needed to enhance work zone safety across the state. The key objectives include performing a comprehensive assessment of current work zone data management practices, developing a framework to advance work zone data management, piloting a WZDx-compliant data feed, and cultivating partnerships to improve work zone data collection and usage. The contract term is for an initial 24-month period from 2024 to 2026, with no renewal options. Vendors must submit technical proposals and pricing by the June 17, 2024 bid opening date. IDOT will evaluate proposals based on criteria such as qualifications, proposed methodology, and ability to meet mandatory requirements related to personnel and project implementation.

The solicitation has a 25% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal, and vendors must complete the required DBE forms to demonstrate how they will meet this requirement or make good faith efforts. The contract does not appear to have any small business set-aside designations. While the incumbent vendor, if any, is not specified, the RFP indicates the contract will involve the jurisdiction of Sangamon County, Illinois. The total estimated cost for the initial 24-month term is set at 4,200 labor hours, with pricing submitted as a separate document and no expenses allowed as line items.
