About this opportunity
AI summaryThe government authority in DuPont, WA requests roadway toll systems featuring camera monitoring of Toll Zones. The buyer needs resilient, flexible, and adaptable solutions that require less roadside infrastructure and overhead equipment. The contractor will handle system implementation—including design, procurement, testing, and installation—while delivering troubleshooting, repair, issue tracking, and software and hardware updates for security and functional improvements. Bidders must submit a high-level organization chart for implementation roles and describe their approaches to implementing the system and incorporating lessons learned from the proof of concept. The buyer limits eligibility to USA-only onshore vendors, and the contractor will perform the work offsite. The contract spans a one-year period, and the buyer requests budget proposals from bidders. Interested parties must attend a mandatory bidders meeting on October 8, 2026. Bidders must submit all questions by October 16, 2026, and can submit their final responses digitally via email or online.
