Description
The North Dakota Department of Transportation is seeking strategic input from vendors experienced in transportation‑asset‑inventory software to shape a future statewide asset‑management platform that will replace its legacy mainframe system. The RFI asks vendors to describe their capabilities, provide an average cost estimate, and answer a set of strategy questions; up to five vendors will be invited to a virtual discussion in May. This effort will inform a later Request for Proposal for full system acquisition, implementation, data migration, and support.
• Scope: Unified software platform covering GIS/linear‑referencing, lifecycle management, work‑order processing, inspection/maintenance, inventory control, reporting, and integration with existing DOT systems (e.g., ERP, HR, telematics).
• Requirements: Out‑of‑the‑box functionality, robust security (role‑based access, SSO/MFA), API/webhook integration, mobile/offline capabilities, and a statewide rollout plan.
• Deliverables: Written response (max 17 pages) by April 21 2026; optional one‑hour virtual briefing for selected vendors; later RFP will request detailed technical and cost proposals.
