The scope of work involves the installation and maintenance of a Continuous Tracking Advance Detector (CTAD) system capable of detecting vehicles at distances from 50 to 600 feet in extreme weather conditions. Key performance requirements include a 98% detection accuracy for large vehicles and a 10-year mean time between failures. Equipment must meet rigorous environmental and quality standards, including NEMA 250 Type 4X for enclosures, UL 746C for outdoor use, and IPC-A-610C Class 2 for electronic assemblies. The award will be determined using a best-value trade-off methodology rather than the lowest price. Initial evaluation is weighted by the technical approach (50 points), pricing (40 points), and lead time (10 points), with the technical and schedule weight increasing to 60 points following post-discussion negotiations. All deliveries are F.O.B. Destination, freight prepaid, and must be submitted via the Euna Procurement portal by the August 13, 2026, deadline. The contract includes specific state-mandated requirements such as the Buy Texas preference, HUB subcontracting plans, and strict adherence to Texas Government Code regarding conflicts of interest and cybersecurity training. Primary contract administration is managed by Courtney Skains.
