| BACKGROUND: |
A. Due to the discussions over the recent months and the Board's formal direction at its November 17, 2016 regular meeting to postpone the All-Electronic Tolling (no cash) conversion at the Bob Sikes Bridge Toll Plaza, County Staff is requesting that the two aforementioned contract allocations be approved. On July 7, 2015, the Board approved Contract PD 14-15.030, Bob Sikes Bridge (BSB) Toll System Upgrade Project to Transcore, LP, to install the State of Florida Sun Pass electronic tolling system at the BSB Toll Plaza. In addition, the Board approved five years Time and Materials Maintenance, with the option to renew for an additional five years. Funding for the Maintenance Contract is subject to appropriations by the Board of County Commissioners.
On an annual basis the County may opt to convert to an All Inclusive Maintenance at the rates provided. The Bob Sikes Bridge Toll Plaza System Upgrades Project consisted of the installation of all new hardware and software for the toll collection function. The new system consists of 4 lanes that include a single dedicated annual pass lane, and 3 mixed use lanes. The dedicated annual pass lane allows for free movement of vehicles with an active Escambia County annual pass, and/or an active Sun Pass account. The 3 mixed use lanes allow for the use of pass holders and/or offer the $1 cash transaction.
B. The Board awarded Contract PD 14-15.048, for Toll Collection Personnel Services at Bob Sikes Bridge on June 2, 2015, and approved the Agreement relating to Toll Collection Personnel Service for the Bob Sikes Toll Bridge (PD 14-15.048), between Escambia County and JJW Services, Inc., d/b/a Accustaff, effective July 1, 2015, for a term of 1 year, with options for renewal up to 4 additional 12-month periods, subject to the terms of the Agreement. This recommendation will extend the contract for an additional year effective July 1, 2016. The estimated annual amount is based on "all in rates" per hour, for 1 Manager, 4 Supervisors, and 25 Toll Collectors, per the original contract. This contract will be re-bid this year based on the impact of electronic tolling. This contract is being extended for 16 months so that the yearly approvals are in our fiscal year calendar period.
