Title
Amendment to the 91 Express Lanes Three-Party Operating Agreement
Overview
In April 2019, the Orange County Transportation Authority Board of Directors authorized the release of a competitive procurement for contractor services for the joint operations of the 91 Express Lanes in Orange and Riverside counties. As a part of this procurement, the contractor is to design, develop, test, and implement a new back-office system. On July 22, 2019, the Board of Directors approved an amendment which allowed for an optional extension period of up to six months to the three-party agreement for joint operations of the combined 91 Express Lanes facility in the event the approved contractor may not be ready to commence operations under the new operating agreement. An additional extension for a period of up to three months is presented for approval should additional time be required to successfully transition to the new agreement.
Recommendation(s)
Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate and execute Amendment No. 6 to Agreement No. C-3-1529 among the Orange County Transportation Authority, Riverside County Transportation Commission, and Cofiroute USA, LLC, for three one-month optional extension periods from January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2022, for continued operating services on the 91 Express Lanes.
