which is within ten calendar days of the date the NOIA was
posted.
I.
GROUNDS FOR PROTEST
The grounds for the protest are: (a) the evaluation team erred in determining that
Lufft was nonresponsive; and (b) Vaisala’s bid is nonresponsive. Each ground is
discussed in detail below.
A.
LUFFT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEEMED RESPONSIVE.
According to GDOT, Lufft was deemed nonresponsive because it entered “n/a” as
the unit price for Pre-stressed Concrete Strain Pole, Type IV and Electrical Power Service
Assembly items in the Cost Proposal Sheet. See November 4-5, 2014 email exchange
between Erik Wright and Lynne S. Rhyss, attached as Exhibit A. As explained in the
Cost Proposal Sheet, these two items were not anticipated for the initial 27 RWIS
locations then under consideration. See Cost Proposal Sheet, attached as Exhibit B.
Accordingly, Lufft indicated that they were not available based upon the explicit
instructions in Section 5.2 of the RFQ, which directed bidders to “Enter ‘n/a’ to indicate
not available or ‘0’ if there is no charge” in the Cost Proposal Sheet.
Since these two items were not intended for installation by December 31, 2014, or
January 15, 2015, Lufft reasonably believed it was permitted to enter “n/a” in the “unit
price” space for these two items. It now appears, however, that the instructions in the
Cost Proposal Sheet conflicted with Section 5.2 by stating that “the Supplier must enter a
price for each line (except for installation by December 31, 2014 OR installation by
January 15, 2015).” Lufft was not alone in entering “n/a” as a unit price. Carlson
Construction Services, LLC and World Fiber Technologies, Inc. did the same thing for
“RWS Installation – Metro Atlanta & Macon 01/15/2015.” But unlike Lufft, these
bidders were deemed responsive.
When the terms of a solicitation are conflicting or otherwise deficient, it has
always been the policy of the State to either construe them in favor of the bidder or to
find that the bidder’s resulting non-compliance is an immaterial deviation from the
-2-
solicitation requirements. See August 14, 2014 Amended Decision by Commissioner
Johnson in the Georgia Commissary Suppliers, LLC matter, p. 5, attached as Exhibit C.
Lufft should not be penalized for following the explicit instructions contained in Section
5.2. Because Lufft complied with the explicit instructions of the RFQ, the solicitation
should be cancelled and rebid to enable an apples-to-apples comparison of all bids on all
items in the Cost Proposal Sheet. This is the only way to ensure that the citizens of
Georgia receive the best value for the lowest price.
B.
VAISALA’S BID IS NONRESPONSIVE.
The General Description section of the RFQ’s Scope of Work, provides:
The installed weather stations shall fully meet the
specifications contained in this document. All equipment to
be furnished for this project shall be new, state of the art and
of current manufacture at the time of purchase…. The RWIS
equipment and software supplied will meet or exceed the
specifications outlined in this document.
A true and correct copy of the Scope of Work is attached as Exhibit D, pp. 1-2.
As discussed in more detail below, because Vaisala is unable to meet the required
equipment specifications in the RFQ’s Scope of Work, it should be deemed nonresponsive.
1.
Vaisala cannot provide sensors as specified in the scope of work.
The specifications in the Scope of Work state that “[t]he sensor(s) will be able to
determine,” among other things, the surface temperature freeze point and the “friction
measurement (critical to dry)” of the surface condition. See Ex. D, pp. 5-6. It does not
appear that any of Vaisala’s currently available pavement sensors provide both freeze
point and friction measurements as required. True and correct copies of Vaisala’s
currently available DSC111, DST111, FP2000, and DRS511 sensor specifications are
attached as Exhibit E. Vaisala has only one sensor (DSC111) that calculates friction and
two other sensors (DRS511 and FP2000) that measure freeze point. In order to comply
with the specification, a combination of these sensors must be a part of each system.
Since the market price for a single DSC111 sensor is nearly equal to Vaisala’s bid for the
entire proposed GDOT RWIS system, it does not appear that Vaisala’s solution complies
with the specifications, which would require use of both the DSC111 and either the
DRS511 or the FP2000.
-3-
Additionally, it should be noted that Lufft owns the patent on the technology that
enables freeze point to be measured via a non-invasive sensor (i.e., a sensor that is not
embedded within the roadway). See U.S. Patent No. 8,838,407 B2, attached as Exhibit
F. In order to meet the specification requirements, Vaisala will be required to configure a
system that includes both the DSC111 sensor (measures friction) and the FP2000 sensor
or DRS511 sensor (measure freeze point) in order to partially comply with the
specifications. This is further evidence that Vaisala cannot offer a single sensor to
measure surface temperature freeze point and friction measurements
In summary, to the extent Vaisala proposes to meet the Scope of Work
specifications for measuring surface temperature freeze point and friction coefficient of
the surface condition, it must do so by using a combination of multiple pavement sensors
(i.e., Vaisala models DSC111 and DRS511 or FP2000), which is a material deviation
from the specifications. As the Vaisala data sheets reveal, this combination of sensors
deviates from the Scope of Work specification requirements. If two different sensors are
used to deliver friction and freeze point, then two different technologies are being used to
obtain the two outputs. It is important to note that these two outputs have a scientific
correlation with one another insofar as they are dependent upon one another. If the two
technologies are not consistent – as is likely the case here – the outputs will not be
consistent or accurate.
Vaisala cannot meet the specification requirements of providing both freeze point
and friction with the DSC111 pavement only sensor nor the DRS511 non-invasive sensor
only. The sensors must work together at each installation site in order to gain freeze
point and friction measurements, which does not meet the specification requirements for
accuracy and consistency with freeze point and friction measurements.
2.
Vaisala cannot provide sensors as specified in the scope of work
because its system does not offer remote firmware upgrades.
The specifications in the Scope of Work state that “The sensor(s) shall support remote
firmware upgrades without the need for personnel to be on-site.” Ex. D, p. 5. It is highly
unlikely that Vaisala can satisfy this specification with technology that is currently
available for production as required by the RFQ. Vaisala’s currently available RWIS
Remote Processing Unit (RPU) system does not offer remote firmware upgrades for all of
its sensors. This includes its pavement temperature and road surface sensors (DSC111 or
DRS511), as well as all atmospheric sensors listed as requirements by the GDOT
specifications.
3.
It is highly unlikely that Vaisala can provide GDOT QPL approved
cabinets at the price it quotes.
-4-
The Scope of Work requires that all proposed cabinets used as part of a vendor bid
meet minimum specifications outlined in the GDOT Qualified Products List (“QPL”), as
referenced in the section of the Scope of Work titled “Submittals.” A true and correct
copy of the QPL is attached as Exhibit G. It is highly unlikely that Vaisala can satisfy
this specification in light of the fact that Vaisala’s quoted price is well below the industry
standard pricing for QPL approved cabinets. Vaisala’s cabinet price is 82 percent lower
than the average of all of the other bidders and 57 percent lower than that of the next
lowest bidder (Carlson). A true and correct copy of the final cost sheet is attached as
Exhibit H. At an absolute minimum, this is a red flag that warrants further investigation
into whether Vaisala’s too-good-to-be-true prices comply with the specifications.
4.
Vaisala’s currently available system does not support DIN rail
mounting.
Section B “RWIS Remote Processing Unit (RPU)” of the Scope of Work states:
Atmospheric and Pavement sensors shall be integrated into
the RPU by plugging into a DIN rail. This shall provide:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Surge protection
Color light indication of operation status
Communication and sensor power supply isolation
Power supply
Data transfer capabilities
Ex. D, p. 5. Upon information and belief, Vaisala’s current RWIS system does not
support DIN rail mounting for the electronic components required in the RWIS Scope of
Work specifications.
Similarly, the “Construction/Installation Requirements” of the Scope of Work
require that the vendor “Install RWIS power supply or transformer on a standard DIN rail
using standard mounting hardware and power conductors wired to terminal blocks in the
cabinet.” Ex. D, p. 8. Upon information and belief, Vaisala does not meet this
specification because its current RWIS system does not support mounting power supply
or transformer on a standard DIN rail as required.
At an absolute minimum, these allegations warrant further investigation by GDOT
to ensure that the citizens of Georgia are getting what has been promised.
-5-
C.
VAISALA HAS A HISTORY OF NON-COMPLIANCE RESULTING IN
FAILURE TO DELIVER AND CANCELLATION OF CONTRACT.
The Government of Manitoba awarded a similar contract to Vaisala on July 24,
2014. A true and correct copy of the award notice in Solicitation No. H050021618 is
attached as Exhibit I. The only material difference is that the Manitoba contract was
much smaller in scope and quantity of deliverables and yet allowed for a longer
installation and delivery period than this RFQ. Just one month after award, Manitoba
cancelled the contract with Vaisala and awarded the contract to the next low bidder. A
true and correct copy of the August 26, 2014 notice of award is attached as Exhibit J.
This action was necessitated because Vaisala failed to comply with the specifications and
was unable to deliver required equipment within the required timeframe.
Vaisala has promised the State of Georgia a solution that it does not appear
capable of delivering at all, much less at the bargain basement prices quoted. The State
of Georgia should give due consideration to Lufft’s protest so it can avoid the
inconvenience and delay that Vaisala’s irresponsibility inflicted upon Manitoba.
D.
LUFFT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUPPLEMENT THIS PROTEST AS
INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE.
Lufft reserves the right to supplement this protest as additional, relevant
information becomes available.
II.
REQUESTED RELIEF
For the above stated reasons Lufft respectfully requests the following relief:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
An immediate stay of the procurement pending the final resolution of this
protest;
A determination that Lufft was responsive;
A determination that Vaisala was non-responsive and;
An opportunity for all bidders to resubmit responses to the RFQ to facilitate
an apples-to-apples comparison of all bids on all items.
Additionally, Lufft respectfully requests that DOAS immediately confirm that the
procurement will be stayed pending resolution of this protest so that Lufft will not be
required to seek injunctive relief in the courts. See, e.g., Hilton Constr. Co. v. Rockdale
Cnty. Bd. of Educ., 245 Ga. 533, 537, 266 S.E.2d 157 (1980).
Respectfully submitted, this 11th day of November, 2014.

Hello Lynn and Vanessa,
Thank you very much for supplying these documents.
We would like to point out that our reason for putting n/a in the line options for the concrete strain
pole and the electrical power service is due to our understanding of the rfq section 5.2 where it
clearly states.
“Enter n/a to indicate not available or “0” if there is no charge. Cells left blank will be interpreted as
no offer…” In review of Section 5.2 of the State Entity RFQ Document, it does
state “Enter “n/a” to indicate not available or “0” if there is no charge. Cells
left blank will be interpreted as no offer.” On your Cost Proposal Sheet, your
company indicated “N/A” for Prestressed Concrete Strain- Pole Type IV and
Electrical Power Service Assembly; thus, you indicated items are not available. The Cost Proposal Sheet stated “In submission of the bid, the Supplier must
enter a price for each line (except for installation by December 31,2014 OR
installation by January 15, 2015), fill out information at the bottom, sign and
upload this Cost Proposal Sheet as a PDF file.” The Cost Proposal Sheet
uploaded by Lufft did not submit pricing for Prestressed Concrete Strain Pole,
Type IV and Electrical Power Service Assembly. Columns with “N/A” indicated
the items are not available as no pricing was given.
Being that these two line items are not anticipated in the initial 27 sites that the bid entails we are
hoping that we can be changed to responsive as our response of n/a was pulled directly from the
Cost Structure and Additional Instructions portion of the RFQ. Your response of “N/A”
concludes the items are not available; however, your company did submit
pricing for other items that are not a part of the initial 16 RWIS to be
purchased and installed by December 31, 2014 and the 11 RWIS to be installed
by January 31, 2015.
Based on this we ask that our bid be accepted as responsive. Based upon the Cost Proposal
Sheet submitted, the document is still deemed non-responsive.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Erik

Hi Lynn,
Vanessa Walker told me to reach out to you to obtain open records for a bid that just announced the
NOIA.
In response to bid 48400-DOT0000407 we have a few questions we are hoping you can shed some
light on. What we would like to request is to…
1. Get a copy of all submitted bid totals for the other three companies who bid on this. Bid
Tabulation Document is attached.
2. Find out if the initial low bid took any exceptions to bid spec. No exceptions received to bid
spec.
3. Find out why we are listed as non-responsive after submitting everything as requested. As
indicated on the Cost Proposal Sheet, the directions stated “In submission of the bid, the
Supplier must enter a price for each line (except for installation by December 31,2014 OR
installation by January 15, 2015), fill out information at the bottom, sign and upload this Cost
Proposal Sheet as a PDF file.” The Cost Proposal Sheet uploaded by Lufft, did not submit
pricing for Prestressed Concrete Strain Pole, Type IV and Electrical Power Service Assembly. Columns indicated “N/A”. The Cost Proposal Sheet submitted is attached.
If you can send me all documentation that is available to us regarding this bid it would be greatly

Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS)
Scope of Work
Project Description
After the crippling snow and ice event of January 2014, it became evident that the Georgia Department of
Transportation (GDOT) needed more Road Weather data available to them to help manage the treatment
and clearing of the roadways. This procurement is for the purpose of initially purchasing, installing and
commissioning twenty-seven (27) weather stations at key locations in metropolitan Atlanta, Macon, and
northern Georgia to supply needed atmospheric and pavement condition data to personnel at the
Transportation Management Center (TMC). All of the Remote Weather Information System (RWIS)
sites in this procurement are located at existing ITS and RWIS sites, negating the need to provide all-new
power modes to each site; as well as providing the opportunity to use existing poles on which to mount
the equipment.
General Description
This work shall initially consist of furnishing, installing, testing and making fully operational twentyseven (27) Road Weather Information System (RWIS). The RWIS shall be specifically designed for
monitoring, recording and displaying pavement surface temperature, rate and type of precipitation,
atmospheric temperature, wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity, visibility, subsurface conditions
and other conditions. The information from the RWIS sites shall be transmitted via wireless 4G
communications connections utilizing the Department’s current cellular Verizon telecommunication
provider to software hosted by the supplier for a period of no less than one year. After one year, the
Department may seek to renew the hosting contract on an annual basis for up to four additional years,
while arrangements are made to have the data transmitted to the Department’s NaviGAtor Advanced
Transportation Management System (ATMS), or other operating software.
The successful supplier shall install the weather stations in accordance with all applicable federal, state, or
local regulations. The installed weather stations shall fully meet the specifications contained in this
document. All equipment to be furnished for this project shall be new, state of the art and of current
manufacture at the time of purchase.
All of the new RWIS software and field devices shall provide full compliance with the latest National
Transportation Communications for ITS Protocol (NTCIP-ESS) Standards.
The successful supplier shall provide all equipment, materials, and work in accordance with all
manufacturers’ recommendations, including but not limited to all mounting, wiring and cabling, power
supply, surge suppression, and communications equipment and materials.
The successful supplier will assist GDOT in making the data from the twenty-seven (27) weather stations
available to outside parties, such as the National Weather Service for use by the Meteorological
Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS). The preferred method for doing this is “pushing” the data at
regular intervals from the host server out to a known site, such as a hosted FTP server. The data will be
formatted in a common manner (example: .csv or .xml) for ease of exporting into other systems. All data
previously collected by the RWIS equipment shall be available to GDOT once the Department has taken
over hosting responsibilities.
1
The RWIS equipment and software supplied will meet or exceed the specifications outlined in this
document. The initial twenty-seven (27) assemblies will be ready for installation along the roadway
within 30 calendar days of issuance of the Purchase Order.
Upon completion of each RWIS installation, the successful supplier will ensure the proper setup and
configuration of each system (“Commissioning”) in accordance with all of the manufacturer’s
requirements and recommendations. Commissioning will include verification that the installed
equipment is powered up, “online” and communicating with the host server. Commissioning will also
include verification that the unit is fully calibrated, properly and safely mounted/installed, and ready for
use. The successful supplier shall submit a signed affidavit for each site certifying the accuracy of the
information prior to final acceptance.
The successful supplier shall conform to all guidance outlined in the Georgia Department of
Transportation’s most current Standard Specification Book and Construction Standards and Details,
which can be found at the following hyperlink:
http://www.dot.ga.gov/doingbusiness/theSource/Pages/home.aspx
The successful supplier shall conform to all guidance outlined in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD), which can be found at the following hyperlink:

with intense traffic
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪

Cost effective visibility
measurement
Easy installation and service
Low maintenance costs
Weather-proof, durable design
Easy integration with Vaisala
ROSA Road Weather Station,or
can operate as a stand-alone
solution with solar/gsm options
The unique DSC111 sensor eliminates
the service disruption, which was
previously associated with the
installation of a road weather station.
Remote installation means that there
is no requirement to slot-cut the
surface or close the road. The sensor
may be installed in a remote location
on a pole adjacent to the road, or as
an addition to the Vaisala ROSA Road
Weather Station.
The spectroscopic measuring
principle enables accurate
measurement of the amounts of
water, ice, and snow. Water and ice
are measured independently of each
other, enabling DSC111 to accurately
report the surface state.
DSC111 provides an accurate measure
of the presence of ice crystals well
before they cause the road to become
slippery. The Winter Service engineer
is therefore able to carefully monitor
all of the weather elements which
create a hazardous driving surface
E
in order to take the appropriate
remedial action. As an additional
feature of DSC111, the visibility
measurement offers a useful, compact,
and extremely costeffective way
to measure the Meteorological
Optical Range (MOR). It extends the
capabilities of DSC111 to detect low
visibility conditions - without any
external hardware.
Additional sensors can be directly
connected to DSC111 to form a
versatile stand-alone weather station.
Measurements include:
• surface and air temperature
• surface depth temperature
• relative humidity
• present weather
• visibility
• wind speed and direction
• atmospheric pressure
DSC111 has proven its capabilities
during two years of intensive field
testing in collaboration with Vaisala
customers. DSC111 is now operational
at hundreds of sites throughout the
world.

Vaisala Remote Road Surface
Temperature Sensor DST111
Features and Benefits
▪
Remote temperature
measurement
▪
Unique correction of the error
caused by the emissivity of
the road surface, negating the
need for emissivity adjustment
▪
▪
▪
▪
Easy installation and service
▪
▪
Weather-proof, durable design
▪
Easy integration with Vaisala
ROSA Road Weather Station
▪
Capability to act as stand-alone
device in remote locations with
solar/gsm options
Low maintenance costs
No internal moving parts
Stable measurement results
even with intense traffic
Reports air temperature and
humidity
The unique DST111 sensor provides a
remote alternative to measuring road
surface temperature. By measuring
the infrared radiation emitted by
the surface and applying intelligent
signal processing, DST111 provides a
reliable remote surface temperature
measurement.
Installation of DST111 is easy,
requiring no slot cutting or closure
of the road. Supplied with solar/gsm
options, the sensor is ideal for standalone operation in remote or in-fill
locations and on bridge decks. The
sensor is simply installed on a mast,
or existing structure beside the road.
DST111 provides reliable results
in conditions where most of the
commercially available infrared
sensors fail. At night time, when the
road surface is cooling under a clear
sky, conventional infrared sensors
provide an error of up to -3¡C due
to emissivity conditions of the road
surface. DST111 compensates for this
error by its unique design.
DST111 can also be installed
alongside an existing Vaisala
ROSA Road Weather Station.
Together with DSC111, which
measures surface state, DST111
forms a versatile stand-alone
weather station.

ABSTRACT
(57)
A method and device for determining the freezing temperature of an ice-water mixture on a road surface. Reference
measurements of ice-to-water ratios in dependence on road
temperatures for different salt contents of reference ice-water
mixtures are provided to the device. The thickness of a water
layer on the road surface is detected and the thickness of an ice
layer of the road surface is detected by the device and method.
From the detected thickness of the water layer and the
detected thickness of the ice layer, an ice-to-water ratio of the
ice-water mixture is determined. The temperature of the road
surface is also detected. The freezing temperature of the icewater mixture is determined by the device and method from
the determined ice-to-water ratio and the detected temperature by means of the provided reference measurements.
