    Lidar RFQ 693JJ424Q000038 - FINAL.docx
    The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for lidar devices to measure headway gaps, aimed at detecting and preventing "Following Too Closely" violations. The contract, proposed for 39 months, seeks a single firm-fixed-price award. Offerors must submit separate technical and business proposals, outlining their approach to device specifications, capabilities, pricing, training services, and warranty provisions. The RFQ emphasizes a robust evaluation process, prioritizing price but also considering technical specifications, past performance, and the overall technical approach. Offerors are tasked with providing detailed descriptions of their lidar device technology, personnel roles, and their past experience conferred through specific references. They must also include pricing structured as package deals for the devices, necessary accessories, calibration, and training, with special attention to any volume discounts. The evaluation criteria weigh cost more heavily than non-price factors, yet the latter can sway awards if proposals converge in pricing. Additionally, the success of the contract hinges on delivery, training of law enforcement personnel, and effective integration of lidar systems in preventing traffic violations, especially in Mississippi, where improvements in enforcement are anticipated.
