RFP # 6000001925 - Request For Proposals For Performance Of Expert Professional Traffic Technology Services As Requested On A “Task Order Basis” For A Four-Year Term - OPEN

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has issued RFP #6000001925 for expert professional traffic technology services to be performed on a task order basis over a four-year term. The solicitation seeks qualified firms to provide comprehensive traffic engineering and technology services, including evaluating transportation technologies, maintaining data analytics platforms, developing applications, databases, and software, and supporting the Authority's Traffic Engineering division. Proposers must demonstrate experience with at least four traffic technology projects within the past ten years and have at least two staff members with five years of relevant technology experience. The virtual pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for January 4, 2024, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, with proposals now due by February 13, 2024 (extended from the original January 30 date) through the Bonfire digital submission platform. Evaluation will focus on firms' technical capabilities, project experience, staff qualifications, and approach to delivering traffic technology services across Port Authority facilities including WTC, JFK, LGA, EWR, PABT, and other locations.

The Port Authority has established specific diversity participation goals for this procurement, including 20% Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBE), 10% Women-owned Business Enterprises (WBE), and 3% Service-disabled Veteran-owned Business Enterprises (SDVOB). Compensation will be structured as a multiplier applied to actual salaries, with task orders potentially issued as lump sum or time and materials arrangements. The Authority may award multiple contracts and will distribute task orders using an equitable rotation methodology to ensure fair competition. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, including $2 million commercial general liability, $2 million automobile liability, $5 million errors & omissions, and workers' compensation insurance. Prime contractors are permitted to propose both as a prime contractor and a subconsultant under the same Traffic Technology Agreement, with prime proposers required to include their hourly rates while MWBE subconsultant rates are optional. While specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the four-year term and task order approach suggest a potentially significant investment in traffic technology services for the Port Authority's infrastructure.
