Resistivity Meter Testing System

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has issued a Request for Quotes (RFQ) for the purchase of a Resistivity Meter Testing System. The RFQ provides detailed specifications for the required system, which includes a 950098B Test System Kit, Switch Box, Passive land cables, Electrode Cable Transport Case, Stainless Steel Electrodes, Watertight Electrode Box, 2D and 3D Inversion software, training, calibration, warranty, and other components. The estimated quantity for the system is 1, but the actual quantity may be less or greater than the estimate. Quotes are due on October 16, 2024, at 2:00 pm, and the anticipated award date is October 24, 2024. WSDOT intends to award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bid from a Washington state small business or veteran-owned business, unless none of these businesses are responsible and responsive. Bidders whose quote exceeds the average of all other bids by 10% will be determined non-responsive and rejected. WSDOT reserves the right to modify dates and times as funding allows, and any changes will be communicated through amendments to all users of Washington's Electronic Business Solutions (WEBS) system.

The estimated value of this procurement is $150,000 or less, and WSDOT has indicated a preference for awarding the contract to a Washington state small business or veteran-owned business. There are no listed incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the RFQ does not specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ does not provide a specific award value or budget range, but the value is likely to be within the $150,000 or less range.
