4. Review of the submitted Underwriter proposals and discussion of the selectionprocess. (Seth McCabe) S. McCabe presented

On November 20th the Alamo RMA Board approved the release of a Request forQualifications (RFQ) for Underwriting Services. The RFQ release date was November24, 2014 and the proposal due date was December 15th. The timeline for board reviewand approval will be in January 2015 with a matrix of firms being recommended andinterview the top 10 firms. The Alamo RMA received 20 firms that submitted to theRFQ. Staff recommends a shortlist of top 10 firms to be interviewed. The review andevaluation committee will evaluate proposals according to the scoring criteria. A total of100 points will be scored with the following: Qualification and Experience: 45 Quantitative and Distribution Capabilities: 30 Disadvantaged Business Enterprise: 10 Firm’s Capital: 15

Total 100 points

Question by G. Ramos: When will staff complete the review of submittals? How many are you recommending to shortlist for interview? In the shortlist how many would you recommending to approve for the pool? Response by S. McCabe: Alamo RMA staff and our Financial Advisors propose to have the reviews completed by January 8th, 2015. We recommend having a shortlist of the top 10 for your consideration for interviews and then recommending selecting a pool of firms that can be we can select from based on certain financing criteria.

Question by D. Starr: Is the scoring criteria that you presented the same criteria that Bexar County uses? Response by D. Smith: The scoring criteria that was included in RFQ was established by the Alamo RMA Board.

Question by D. Starr: When we select firms are we going to separate minority owned firms from the other firms as the top 10 list? Response by S. McCabe: That is the direction we are asking the board to take and we can do that if the board chooses.

Question by D. Starr: On the firms that have County experience for underwriters, do you rate the firms on that or do you have a rating mechanism for their performance? Response by D. Smith: At the County we do not have a rating mechanism but if you are in the County pool and do not perform well, the firm will not be in the County pool. So if they have performance issues they will not be in the County pool.

Question by T. Calvert: Due to the Alamo RMA has less financial strength than a County or City is it too late to know in a report which bank or financial institutions have been bailed out or having any difficulties? Response by Don Gonzales with Estrada Hinojosa: The staff and myself in the process will be doing background check for each firm during this process and in addition we will do this before each going into the market place or enter any financing transaction.

Comment by D. Starr: On the Financial side I am not as concerned as much on bailout but more concerned on experience with toll roads and having the creativity in making this happen with the least exposure and maximum performance.

Comment by R. Cavazos: These 20 firms varying in scope and size which can be grouped in small, medium, large firms base on experience and make an outreach to the firms. Response by D. Gonzales: Yes we can do that exercise in developing a matrix with those criteria based on experience, size and capital to develop those three categories (small, medium, large).

Comment by T. Calvert: Requesting that staff make sure that all safeguards are being looked at in order to be creative in financing and assets are solid.

ATTACHMENT A

SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY THE GEC

Scope of Work

Background The Alamo Regional Mobility Authority (Authority) has requested a white paper and workshop to identify and discuss options available for operation of its toll facilities and design of its gantries.

SCOPE OF WORK With HNTB’s tolling experience in Texas, and good understanding of the Texas tolling environment we have developed the following scope of services to meet the Authority requirements.

Task 1: Texas Tolling Operations

HNTB shall perform an industry scan of all Texas toll authorities and produce a white paper that describes how each Texas toll authority is currently performing its toll operations. The white paper will include a one-page summary of each toll authority currently operating in Texas. At a minimum, the authorities included will be TxDOT; NTTA; HCTRA; CTRMA; CCRMA; NETRMA; Ft. Bend County, and CRRMA. Information on SH-130 Concession and LBJ Expressway will be provided to the extent possible.

The document will also include a narrative on how each authority operates its toll roads, its toll collection concept; the system integrator; who provides operations, maintenance, and other services; whether services are internal or outsourced, and identification of the contracted vendors or other authorities providing services.

The focus of the white paper will be on toll transactions from the roadside equipment through the back office including transponder, image, and violation transactions processing including collections. A table of lane technology (such as Automated Vehicle Identification (AVI), front and/or rear Violation Enforcement Systems (VES), and Automated Vehicle Classification (AVC) systems and allowable toll payment methods (toll tag, cash, pay by mail, and violations), transaction statistics (will we also provide operations statistics) will also be prepared. An overview of each authority will also be presented in a process flow diagram for each major operational component. The pros and cons along with budgetary costs will also be identified for each toll system or operations option.

Deliverable: White Paper on Texas Tolling Operations

Task 2: Available Gantry Options Report

HNTB shall prepare a report of the industry standard All-Electronic Tolling (AET) or Open Road Tolling (ORT) style toll gantries from Texas and around the country with a focus on the top styles that are applicable to ARMA. This report will include a discussion of the best practice options. The report will include graphics and images and will identify key features and will present pros, cons and conceptual costs associated with the various features of each type of gantry. Plan sheets and renderings will be provided where available.

Deliverable: Report on industry standard toll gantries and associated conceptual costs

Task 3: Texas Tolling Operations Workshop

HNTB shall coordinate and conduct a one-day workshop with Authority staff and Board Members at the Alamo RMA offices in San Antonio, Texas to discuss the draft white paper and report delivered in Task 1 and Task 2. HNTB shall prepare presentation materials in advance of the workshop and provide access to HNTB Texas tolling Subject Matter Experts in the workshop to facilitate discussions and to provide clarifications of the tolling options as they relate to Alamo RMA.

Deliverable: Facilitate a one-day Texas Tolling Operations Workshop with Alamo RMA
