3. State and Federal Legislative Update – INFORMATION/ACTION* attachment
Every month, we provide an update on state and federal legislation and, when appropriate, seek recommendations to adopt new positions on active legislation. The attached matrix tracks the latest activity on state bills, and the positions previously adopted by the Transportation Authority. We are not recommending any new positions this month, but are reporting on the status of bills as of the end of the session. This is an information/action item.
4. Recommend Award of a Three-Year Professional Services Contract, with an Option to Extend for Two Additional One-Year Periods, to SPTJ Consulting in an Amount Not to Exceed $550,000 for Computer Network and Maintenance Services and Authorize the Executive Director to Negotiate the Contract Payment Terms and Non-Material Contract Terms and Conditions – ACTION* attachment
The Transportation Authority seeks to contract with a qualified service provider to support the varied technological needs of the agency. On July 30, 2014, the Transportation Authority issued a request for proposals (RFP) for computer network and maintenance services to support the Transportation Authority’s work program over the next three years. The Transportation Authority is dependent on computers, telecommunications and internet access for almost all of its daily activities. The small staff size of the Transportation Authority does not warrant full-time, in-house technical support, so most technical maintenance and support tasks are outsourced to a professional consultant team that comes to the Transportation Authority office weekly and on an as-needed basis. By the due date of September 5 2014, the Transportation Authority received two proposals in response to the RFP. Based on the selection panel’s evaluation of the written evaluation of the proposals, the review panel recommended award of the contract to SPTJ Consulting. We are seeking a recommendation to award a three-year professional services contract, with an option to extend for two additional one-year periods, to SPTJ Consulting in an amount not to exceed $550,000 for computer network and maintenance services and authorize the Executive Director to negotiate the contract payment terms and non-material contract terms and conditions.
