T2834 - NJDOT Core CVISN Electronic Screening System

The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) and the New Jersey State Police (NJSP) are issuing a bid solicitation for the design, construction, installation, operation, and maintenance of a truck pre-clearance and weigh station bypass program, identified as the T2834 - NJDOT Core CVISN Electronic Screening System. The intent is to award up to two master blanket purchase orders - one for standard fixed weigh station and inspection sites, and one for sub-standard mobile weigh and inspection sites. The program aims to continue and expand the existing NJ PASS system, which utilizes transponders to identify and bypass trucks meeting state requirements. The state seeks technical, operational, and security requirements for both the fixed and mobile bypass systems, and vendors may submit proposals for one or both categories. Key dates include an electronic question and answer period ending August 29, 2018, and proposal submissions due by September 26, 2018. The state intends to have no direct costs associated with the deployment, setup, operation, and maintenance of the bypass program, which the selected vendor(s) will be responsible for.

The current incumbent is the provider of the NJ PASS program, and the solicitation references the existing contract, T2834. There are no set-aside requirements mentioned in the provided documents. The project is funded through a combination of state and federal sources, with a total budget of $12 million. Proposers must demonstrate experience in the design, deployment, and maintenance of similar electronic screening systems for commercial vehicles, and pricing will be evaluated as part of the award criteria. The state may consider one award for both the fixed and mobile bypass system categories.
