Weight in Motions with Sole Source Conditions

The state of Illinois is procuring data collection and reporting services through a sole source contract with International Road Dynamics Corp. (IRD) for their VI2M software platform. The contract will provide weigh-in-motion (WIM) and traffic data collection and reporting services at 24 locations across Illinois over a 12-month period from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. IRD will manage the cloud-based VI2M software and provide web-based access to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IL DOT) for this data. The proposed annual fee for these services is $80,000. The procurement has a short turnaround, with proposals due by March 26, 2021.

This appears to be a sole source procurement, as IRD states they are the only provider capable of continuing the VI2M application services, as they own and operate the proprietary software platform. No other set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are noted. The incumbent provider is IRD, as they were previously contracted to set up the VI2M system at two locations under a prior contract (18-108688). The total budget or award value for this 12-month contract term is not explicitly stated beyond the $80,000 annual fee.
