Bid Number: 54-BD-PR31386 Vendor: ____________________________________
1.0 PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND
The purpose of this solicitation is to establish an Agency Specific Contract (ASC)/one-time purchase to furnish and deliver Law
Enforcement traffic speed LiDAR and Radar devices. The devices will be used by various police departments and sheriff's offices
across the state as part of the Governor's Highway Safety Program (GHSP).
The State of North Carolina, through the Highway Patrol and Local Police Departments, monitors the speed of motorists
throughout the state in an effort to reduce accidents and collisions. For over 57 years, North Carolina police departments and
state troopers have lowered the number of accidents on NC highways and residential areas with the use of LiDAR and Radar
technology. Furthermore, LiDAR and Radar technology has been used to help justify when areas of the state speed limits should
be increased or decreased by monitoring the flow of traffic.
Bids shall be submitted in accordance with the terms and conditions of this IFB and any addenda issued hereto.
2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1 INVITATION FOR BID DOCUMENT

instructions herein or to render the bid non-binding or subject to further negotiation. Vendor's bid shall constitute a firm offer

3.0 METHOD OF AWARD AND BID EVALUATION PROCESS
3.1 METHOD OF AWARD
North Carolina G.S. 143-52 provides a general list of criteria the State shall use to award contracts, as supplemented by the
additional criteria herein. The Goods or Services being procured shall dictate the application and order of criteria; however, all
award decisions shall be in the State's best interest.
All responsive bids will be reviewed, and award(s) will be based on the responsive bid(s) offering the lowest price that meets
the specifications to include any required verifications set out herein, such as but not limited to past performance, references,
and financial documents.
While the intent of this IFB is to award a Contract(s) to a single Vendor for all line items, the State reserves the right to make
separate awards to different Vendors for one or more line items, to not award one or more line items or to cancel this IFB in
its entirety without awarding a Contract, if it is considered to be most advantageous to the State to do so.
The State reserves the right to waive any minor informality or technicality in bids received.
3.2 CONFIDENTIALITY AND PROHIBITED COMMUNICATIONS DURING EVALUATION
While this IFB is under evaluation, the responding Vendor, including any subcontractors and suppliers, is prohibited from
engaging in conversations intended to influence the outcome of the evaluation. See Paragraph 29 of the Instructions To
Vendors entitled COMMUNICATIONS BY VENDORS.
Each Vendor submitting a bid to this IFB, including its employees, agents, subcontractors, suppliers, subsidiaries and affiliates,
is prohibited from having any communications with any person inside or outside the using agency; issuing agency; other
government agency office or body (including the procurement lead named above, any department secretary, agency head,
members of the General Assembly and Governor's office); or private entity, if the communication refers to the content of
Vendor's bid or qualifications, the content of another Vendor's proposal, another Vendor's qualifications or ability to perform
a resulting contract, and/or the transmittal of any other communication of information that could be reasonably considered to
have the effect of directly or indirectly influencing the evaluation of proposals, the award of a contract, or both.
Any Vendor not in compliance with this provision shall be disqualified from evaluation and award. A Vendor's proposal may be
disqualified if its subcontractor and/or supplier engage in any of the foregoing communications during the time that the
procurement is active (i.e., the issuance date of the procurement until the date of contract award or cancellation of the
procurement). Only those discussions, communications or transmittals of information authorized or initiated by the issuing
agency for this IFB, or inquiries directed to the procurement lead named in this IFB regarding requirements of the IFB (prior to
proposal submission) or the status of the award (after submission) are excepted from this provision.
3.3 BID EVALUATION PROCESS
Only responsive submissions will be evaluated.
The State will conduct an evaluation of responsive Bids, as follows:
Bids will be received according to the method stated in the Bid Submittal section above.
All bids must be received by the issuing agency not later than the date and time specified in the IFB SCHEDULE Section above,
unless modified by Addendum. Vendors are cautioned that this is a request for offers, not an offer or request to contract, and
the State reserves the unqualified right to reject any and all offers at any time if such rejection is deemed to be in the best
interest of the State.
At the date and time provided in the IFB SCHEDULE Section above, unless modified by Addendum, the bids from each
responding Vendor will be opened publicly and all offers (except those that were previously withdrawn, or voided bids) will be
tabulated. The tabulation shall be made public at the time it is created. When negotiations after receipt of bids are authorized
