RFQ D/B - Design, Build, and Maintenance of Tolling Technology for All Four (4) DRPA Bridges

I. INTRODUCTION The Delaware River Port Authority ("Authority" or "DRPA") is a bi-state corporate instrumentality of the State of New Jersey and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The DRPA owns and operates four major toll bridge crossings of the Delaware River: the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, the Walt Whitman Bridge, the Commodore Barry Bridge, and the Betsy Ross Bridge. Each bridge facility includes office buildings, maintenance shops, garages, and other buildings and structures. In addition, the DRPA owns real property in the vicinity of the bridges. The Authority's transit subsidiary, PATCO, operates a rapid transit line providing public transport service between Philadelphia, PA and Southern New Jersey. The Authority hereby invites interested qualified and experienced toll system integration firms to design, install, integrate, and maintain an advanced tolling system to submit a Statement of Qualifications ("SOQ") for the Design, Build, and Maintenance of Tolling Technology for all four (4) DRPA Bridges Project (the "Project"). This public advertisement constitutes the Authority's formal solicitation to determine the interest of qualified firms in the aforementioned project. The DRPA installed its Electronic Toll Collection System in 1999 by outsourcing the installation and maintenance to an In-lane System Integrator (the incumbent firm is TransCore) and has made several upgrades to continue operation. Back office and violation processing services are provided by the New Jersey Regional CSC ("NJR CSC") operated by Conduent which is under contract with the New Jersey Turnpike Authority ("NJTA"), South Jersey Transportation Authority ("SJTA"), Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission ("DRJTBC"), Burlington County Bridge Commission ("BCBC"), Cape May County Bridge Commission, Delaware River and Bay Authority ("DRBA"), and the DRPA. The Technical Requirements of this project include: 1. A complete replacement and maintenance of the DRPA's Toll Collection System. The DRPA anticipates that replacement will be implemented in the following three (3) phases. However, the Contractor may propose alternate phases with its justification should there be significant financial, technical, or project delivery advantages. 2. Phase 1: The furnishing, installation, tuning, and testing of new multi-protocol readers supporting current lanes. 3. Phase 2: Design, development, integration, installation, and testing of the roadside Toll System including: Mixed Mode Lanes, E-ZPass Only Lanes, Did Not Use Bridge ("DNUB") Lanes, Outside Lanes, Violations Enforcement System ("VES"), Digital Video Audit System ("DVAS"), Maintenance Online Management System ("MOMS") and integration with the Toll Host Server (physical or cloud server). The design, installation, and testing of a Toll Host Server and integration with NJR CSC. The Toll Host may be installed on DRPA premises or hosted in a public or private cloud at the DRPA's discretion. Describe your cyber security process and plan. The furnishing, integration, and installation of new barrier gates at ALL DRPA locations. Comprehensive training program to educate, train, and teach personnel in all details of the maintenance and operation of the Mixed Mode Lanes, E-ZPass-Only Lanes, Toll Host, and DVAS System, including all subsystems and functionality. 4. Phase 3: Maintenance of the roadside Toll System and Toll Host including all equipment and systems installed, as well as existing toll plaza items such as lane status indicators, canopy lane signs, and barrier gates. Optional work under this contract may include: 1. The design, development, integration, installation, and testing of functionality to identify transactions for vehicles on the Senior Citizen Discount List provided by the NJR CSC and apply the appropriate toll discount. 2. The selection and integration of Optical Character Recognition ("OCR") software into the image processing flow for all lanes and designated transactions. 3. The furnishing and integration of money bag barcode scanners at each plaza. The Contractor shall coordinate with TransCore for the existing in-lane Toll System and provide the necessary interfaces in accordance with the Technical Requirements. The Contractor shall coordinate with Conduent and NJTA for the interface for the NJR CSC. The Contractor shall also coordinate with the DRPA and the NJR CSC (Conduent) with the integration and testing of the interface to the Toll Host System. The Authority intends to establish a short list of consultants to receive a Request for Proposal ("RFP") and to engage a consultant for this Project. III. TERM OF ENGAGEMENT It is expected that the term of engagement for the Project will be approximately two (2) years, which shall commence as of the date of execution of an Agreement following the RFP process.
