(“Lufft” or “Protestor”) files this Protest of the November 3, 2014 Notice of Intent to Award (the “NOIA”) by the Department of Administrative Services (“DOAS”) of the Georgia Department of Transportation’s (“GDOT”) Request for Quote No. 48400-DOT0000407 (Road Weather Information System or “RWIS”) (the “RFQ”) to Vaisala, Inc. (“Vaisala”), as follows: PROTESTOR: Lufft USA, Inc. REPRESENTATIVE: J. Matthew Maguire, Jr. Melissa A. Carpenter PARKS, CHESIN AND WALBERT, P.C. 75 Fourteenth Street, Suite 2600 Atlanta, GA 30309 Phone: 404-873-8000 Fax: 404-873-8050 Email: [email protected] [email protected] RFQ: RFQ No. 48400-DOT0000407 (Road Weather Information System) PROTEST SUMMARY: The NOIA to Vaisala should be rescinded because GDOT erred in determining that Lufft was non-responsive and that Vaisala was responsive. REQUESTED RELIEF: Lufft seeks: (1) an immediate stay of the procurement; (2) a determination that Lufft was responsive and Vaisala was nonresponsive; (3) cancellation and rescission of the NOIA posted on November 3, 2014; (4) acceptance of new responses to the RFQ; and (5) such other and further relief as may be appropriate. TIMELINESS: This Protest is timely filed on or before November 13, 2014, 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).

Walker, GCPA E-mail: [email protected] From: Erik Wright [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2014 1:38 PM To: Rhys, Lynne S. Cc: Walker, Vanessa E Subject: RE: open records request from Lufft USA ORR-1880 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.

Subject: open records request from Lufft USA 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 appreciated.

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: http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/ Submittals For Closed Circuit Televisions (CCTV), cabinets, and poles use only equipment and components that meet the requirements of the minimum specifications outlined in this document and the Department’s Qualified Products Lists outlined below: 5: Electrical Conduit 15: Epoxy Resin Adhesives 34: Work Zone Traffic Control Devices 48-1: CCTV-Closed Circuit Television 48-3: Optical Cables & Cordages 48-6: Equipment Cabinets & Accessories 48-7: Network Electronics 48-8: Pull/Communication Box & Hub Bldg 48-9: Conduit & Accessories 52: Overhead Signs supports, Strain Poles and Lighting Standards 75: Sealant for Inductive Loops 78: Junction Boxes 78-1: Traffic Signal Communication, Cabinets, & Accessories 78-3: Battery Backup Systems & Batteries 78-4: Signal Cabling, Wiring, & Accessories 82: Portable Changeable Message Signs These lists can be found at the following link: http://www.dot.ga.gov/doingbusiness/theSource/Pages/home.aspx 2 Provide submittal data for all equipment, materials, test procedures, sensor calibration, and routine maintenance procedures required for these items as required in these Specifications.

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.

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.
