Route Design and Route Staking Service

The City of Muscatine, Iowa, is seeking a qualified vendor to provide route design and route staking services. The agency requires these services to be supported by a highly secure technical infrastructure that protects data and systems from unauthorized access. To solve its security and operational needs, the agency is mandating specific technical safeguards including enterprise firewall protection and the secure separation of web clusters and databases. The scope of work requires that all data reads utilize stored procedures to prevent injection or SQL modification attacks, and application user accounts must be limited strictly to executing these procedures. System access requires a correct username and password, and all data must be secured both at rest and in transit at the storage level. Additionally, the selected vendor must encrypt data backups and store them outside of the production environment. The agency is restricting eligibility to onshore organizations based in the United States. All performance of the route design and staking work will take place offsite. Bidders must submit any questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 20, 2026. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget for this project. Bidders can submit their responses digitally via email or through an online portal. The evaluation will be based on the bidder's ability to meet the specified route service requirements and the mandatory security protocols.
