Tollway committees and board place and approve IT, engineering and business‑systems contracts ahead of November meeting
Summary
Committees recommended and the board approved placement and final approval for multiple contracts: Okta identity-management maintenance, Hirsch door‑access parts, a $10.66M sole‑source back‑office bridge, fiber‑optic construction, engineering‑services contracts and an annual rock‑salt procurement.
Committee staff and directors moved through a series of procurement and intergovernmental actions at committee meetings on Nov. 20 and during the full board meeting later that day, approving placement and final approval as part of the November board agenda.
Information-technology: CIO Mike Shea recommended awarding an order under a master contract to Matrix Systems Group Inc. (contract 251033) for Okta identity‑management maintenance and services, which Shea said would centralize single sign‑on and multi‑factor authentication for staff and customers; Shea reported the cost 'not to exceed $1,257,026.52' for one year and noted Matrix is a certified BEP vendor. Shea also recommended an order against the CMS master contract to AIM 1 Lock Inc. for Hirsch velocity system locks, parts and cameras, not to exceed $450,000 for six months while master contract terms are updated.
Business systems: Chief of Business Systems Mike Catullico presented a three‑year sole‑source contract request with Electronic Transaction Consultants for legacy revenue management and maintenance services as a bridge while the Tollway procures a new back‑office solution. Catullico said the not‑to‑exceed amount is $10,658,377 and that the award is contingent on state procurement approval; the contract can be terminated early if the new system is implemented sooner.
Engineering and maintenance procurements: Menard presented four items consolidated for committee action: Western Utility LLC as low bidder for systemwide fiber‑optic work at $3,908,235.88; Structure Designs Inc. (SDI ENGR) for systemwide construction management at $1,617,775.82; Bloom Companies LLC for I‑88 construction management at $3,685,999.99; and an annual bulk rock salt procurement, awarded per site to Morton Salt Inc. and Compass Minerals America Inc., with total not to exceed $4,820,122.80. Menard said vendors committed to DBE and veteran goals for these contracts.
Legal intergovernmental agreements: General counsel Kathleen presented IGAs to perform certain maintenance work on behalf of municipal partners: an estimated $386,639.98 of Tollway work for the City of Naperville on Washington Street bridge over I‑88 and about $1,857,217.06 of Tollway work for DuPage County on multiple bridges over I‑88; both agreements call for municipal reimbursement of actual costs.
All items described above were moved, seconded and approved by voice votes either in committee for placement on the November agenda or by the full board at the Nov. 20 meeting.
