WSDOT - Hydrolgy Database

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is issuing a competitive solicitation to acquire a comprehensive hydrology database software system designed to manage stormwater monitoring data collected from various field instruments. The software must support importing data from telemetered sources via the GOES system and manual CSV uploads, with capabilities for graphical visualization, error detection, statistical analysis, and report generation aligned with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements. The contract, valued between 500,000 and 2 million dollars, will span an initial five-year period with options for up to ten additional one-year extensions. The procurement emphasizes technical performance, data integration, legacy data migration, and potential integration with WSDOT’s storm reporting web application. Bidders are required to submit detailed technical, cost, and reference information through specified exhibits, including a cost proposal template, performance requirements, and a diverse business inclusion plan if subcontractors are involved. The contract incorporates various referenced documents and exhibits, such as performance standards, pricing worksheets, and certification forms, which are integral to the procurement process. Evaluation criteria prioritize responsiveness, responsibility, technical capability, and cost, with a best value award methodology that may include presentations or demonstrations. The process involves a responsibility review, technical evaluation, and price assessment, culminating in negotiations with the highest-scoring responsible bidder. Payment procedures stipulate electronic invoicing to a designated WSDOT email, with payments made within 30 days of proper invoice receipt. The contract’s legal framework is governed by federal and state statutes, with no explicit FAR clauses referenced; instead, it relies on WSDOT-specific terms, incorporated schedules, and exhibits. Delivery is at destination, with inspection and acceptance performed by WSDOT upon delivery, ensuring deliverables meet specified performance and quality standards. The solicitation also emphasizes compliance with business certification requirements, including certifications for small, veteran, minority, and women-owned businesses, alongside reporting obligations through state-managed systems. Overall, the contract aims to ensure a robust, compliant, and technically capable system that enhances WSDOT’s stormwater data management and reporting capabilities.
