Indiana Asset Management Bid Request Canceled

A request for price proposals for professional services related to bridge height, vertical clearance data, and related asset location and management services by the Indiana Department of Transportation has been withdrawn after an objection was filed by the Council on Federal Procurement of Architectural and Engineering Services (COFPAES), of which NSPS is a member organization.  COFPAES indicated the solicitation was for professional surveying services, as defined by the Professional Surveyor Practice Act of Indiana, but did not require an Indiana professional surveyor.  The request for pricing also violated the Indiana mini-Brooks Act, the federal Brooks Act, and the Federal Highway Act, all of which require qualifications based selection (QBS) for such contracts.
