Solution to Identify Traffic Count Data

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is seeking a comprehensive solution to identify and collect traffic count data through solicitation number 601440000044664. The procurement is being conducted entirely through the Bonfire electronic procurement portal, with proposals due by January 3, 2025. The solicitation targets vendors capable of providing an advanced technological solution for traffic data collection and analysis, though specific technical requirements are not fully detailed in the provided documents. Vendors must register on both the Bonfire platform and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL), using appropriate National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) code classifications. The procurement process requires vendors to submit proposals electronically, with Elsie Quintanilla serving as the primary procurement contact, reachable at 806-748-4348 or Elsie.Quintanilla@txdot.gov. Potential respondents should carefully review all addenda, with Addendum #2 having been issued on December 12, 2024, potentially containing critical updates or clarifications to the original solicitation requirements.

The solicitation documents do not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, though the CMBL registration process implies standard state vendor participation protocols. No incumbent vendors are identified in the provided documentation, and there are no clear indications of specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure. The procurement does not outline a specific budget range or anticipated contract value for the traffic count data solution. TxDOT is offering an Early Payment Program that provides incentives for vendors willing to accept prioritized invoice processing, which could be attractive to potential respondents. Vendors participating in this program can receive enhanced invoice processing, priority handling, and potential cash advancements by completing the "Priority Invoice and Early Payment Program" form with their response. Additional vendor support is available through the Bonfire platform, and CMBL registration information can be accessed online or by contacting the Texas Comptroller's office at 512-463-3459.
