This procurement is conducted as a multistep competitive sealed bid using an online reverse auction hosted on the eBridge platform.

The primary objective is to acquire high-quality traffic signal components, including circular, arrow, and pedestrian signal modules, which must comply with specific Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) standards. The contract award will be determined using a Best Value – Ranking Approach, where the bidder offering the lowest price receives the maximum of 95 points. To be considered for an award, vendors must bid on all listed lines and are limited to one model or brand per item. Compliance with the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act is mandatory, requiring specific certifications regarding the domestic origin of manufactured products and construction materials. Additionally, vendors must adhere to strict quality assurance protocols, including potential pre-award visual inspections and independent laboratory testing. Failure to meet delivery timelines will result in a daily penalty of one percent of the invoice amount. Other critical requirements include non-collusion certifications, adherence to artificial intelligence disclosure policies, and compliance with various Kentucky Revised Statutes regarding labor, safety, and equal employment opportunity.
