GETTING THE SIGNAL SYSTEM YOU NEED: ALTERNATIVE PROCUREMENT PROCEDURES

Traditional contracting and procurement procedures when applied to electronic data communication, computing, and software are not entirely appropriate, particularly if low-bid is the prime consideration for award. This paper examines existing state procurement procedures and other alternatives to ensure compatibility and cost-effective procurement of new and expanded systems. Although the paper specifically examines TxDOT procedures, the research and recommendations will be helpful to other agencies.
