Sole Source - Toll Revenue Management and Maintenance Program Svcs (TRMMP)

The state of Illinois through the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (Tollway) is procuring a one-year sole economically feasible source contract for Toll Revenue Management and Maintenance Program Services (TRMMP) with Electronic Transaction Consultants Corporation. The contract will provide 24/7 support and maintenance for the Tollway's critical tolling systems, including the Host System that processes 100% of the Tollway's one billion annual lane transactions enabling $1.5 billion in annual revenue, as well as the legacy Violation Processing System and associated Customer Service Center System for managing aged debt. The contract scope includes software updates, database and storage migrations, and sunsetting the legacy Violation Processing System. The total estimated value of the contract is $5.5 million, with $3.25 million for capital services and $2.25 million for maintenance services. The Tollway is a self-funded agency, and a sole source contract is necessary to mitigate financial and operational risks while the agency develops a long-term solution, as there is no economically or technically feasible alternative.

This is a sole source procurement, and the Tollway will hold a public hearing on December 16, 2020 to receive comments on whether the sole source award is appropriate, unless an interested party submits written comments or requests a public hearing by December 11, 2020. The Chief Procurement Officer may approve the Tollway's request to contract by the sole source method after considering the testimony presented. No set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond are mentioned, and no incumbent vendors or budget ranges are provided in the available documentation.
