Traffic Signal Equipment 2 (Rebid)

The City of Pittsburgh's Office of Management and Budget, acting on behalf of the Department of Mobility & Infrastructure, is seeking bids for Traffic Signal Equipment through Invitation for Bid (IFB) #2023-IFB-079. This procurement is focused on acquiring various traffic signal components, including fiber optic signs, communication cameras, VIVDS packages, surge protection panels, power converters, and related accessories from manufacturers such as ITS Plus, Wavetronix, and Traffic Signs. The contract will cover the period from April 1, 2023, through March 31, 2024, with options for two additional one-year renewals. Vendors must submit their bids electronically through the ProcureNow portal by May 2, 2023, at 2:00 pm, with a preceding question submission deadline of April 25, 2023. The bid requires comprehensive unit pricing that includes shipping and delivery costs, with the city explicitly stating they will not pay separate shipping, handling, or delivery fees. Purchase orders will be F.O.B. Destination, and the city reserves the right to award one or more contracts and place orders for traffic signal equipment as needed during the contract term.

The procurement includes specific diversity and inclusion requirements, with set goals for minority-owned business enterprises (MBE) at 18%, women-owned business enterprises (WBE) at 7%, and veteran-owned small businesses at 5%. Vendors must complete and submit several mandatory forms, including an EORC Participation Form, Statement of Affiliations, Vendor Contact Sheet, Vendor Registration Form, and W-9. While the specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the bid suggests a significant procurement value for traffic signal equipment. The solicitation covers multiple jurisdictions, including Allegheny County and potentially extending to Philadelphia City, indicating a potentially broad scope of implementation. Vendors will need to demonstrate compliance with equal opportunity participation requirements and provide detailed pricing for a wide range of traffic signal components. The city's approach suggests a strategic procurement aimed at updating and maintaining traffic infrastructure with flexible ordering capabilities throughout the contract period.
