ISSUE
In 2010, Metro entered into Contract No. PS0922102333 (existing contract) with Atkinson Contractors, LP (Atkinson) to design, build, operate and maintain the I-10 and I-110 ExpressLanes. The existing contract is scheduled to expire on February 22, 2020, if all option years are exercised and an additional year of services is authorized as requested in a separate Board action.
Based on lessons learned and consistent with best practices in the tolling industry, Metro has split the services provided under the current contract into three separate procurements which are the back office system, roadside toll collection systems, customer service center operations. The back office system contract includes account management, violation processing and other support functions.
In light of the existing contract's termination date, and since the back office system requires the longest development lead time it is the first of the contracts requiring Board approval.
