T2814 - Road Weather Information Systems for NJDOT

The State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property, on behalf of the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), is soliciting quotes for a contract to provide maintenance and management services for the state's existing 50 Road Weather Information System (RWIS) sites, with the ability to add additional sites as needed. The contract will cover monthly and annual maintenance, repairs, data transmission, training, and replacement parts for the RWIS equipment and sensors. Key deliverables include maintaining the operational status of the RWIS systems, addressing any issues or failures, and providing periodic calibration and training. Bidders must demonstrate the capability to service and support the specified RWIS hardware and software from manufacturers such as Thies, RM Young, OSI, Vaisala, and Mobotix. The contract term is for a base of 3 years, with the option to extend up to 2 additional years. Important dates include a pre-quote conference on April 12, 2023, question deadlines on April 26 and June 13, 2023, and a bid opening on July 11, 2023.

The contract is open to all qualified bidders, with no set-aside requirements, though the State may award to one contractor with a subcontracting set-aside for Small Business Enterprises or Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses. The incumbent contractor's details are not provided, and bidders are advised not to rely on the current contract when preparing their quotes. Pricing will be based on a defined number of RWIS sites, with no expected increase in sensor types during the contract term. The total contract value is not specified, but the State will authorize and fund corrective maintenance services as needed to maintain the systems.
