Signal Equipment, Count Equipment and ITS Equipment

The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Office of State Procurement Services (OSPS) is issuing a Request for Quotations (RFQ #17A 25010300000000000142) for Signal Equipment, Count Equipment, and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Equipment primarily for the Department of Transportation. The procurement seeks to establish a Master Agreement Contract enabling state departments and agencies to purchase specified technological infrastructure and traffic management solutions. Vendors must provide comprehensive product information sheets, warranty details, and complete a cost response sheet featuring items from manufacturers like Armadillo, SpeedLane, Currax, Leetron, Wavetronix, Miovision, and Rekor. The RFQ covers a diverse range of equipment including solar-powered radar systems, traffic sensors, AI video classification units, cellular modems, software development kits, and various technological accessories. Quotations are due on April 24, 2025, by 4:00 p.m. local time, with an anticipated contract term from June 23, 2025, to June 22, 2026, and potential two optional one-year extension periods through June 22, 2028. The State will evaluate each line item and select bidders with the lowest unit prices as master agreement awardees, with bid prices required to include shipping and remain firm for at least the first contract year.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement allows for pricing adjustments after the first twelve months, requiring documented evidence of actual cost increases. While no incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, the State reserves the right to add similar items to the contract and is not obligated to purchase non-contracted commodities. Delivery will be made to various State of Maine facilities, with the Department of Transportation serving as the primary user. The Cost Response Sheet indicates a comprehensive catalog of technological solutions with multiple configuration options, suggesting a potential significant investment in smart city and traffic management infrastructure. Although precise award values are not specified, the extensive range of equipment and the multi-year contract structure implies a substantial procurement opportunity. Vendors must demonstrate technical capabilities, provide detailed product specifications, and offer competitive pricing across a wide array of intelligent transportation system components.
