| SOLE/SINGLE SOURCE VENDORS
PURCHASE OF REPLACEMENT PARTS AND SERVICES (BUS, RAIL, LIGHT
RAIL AND HEADQUARTERS) AND COMPUTER HARDWARE/SOFTWARE:
MAINTENANCE AND LICENSING AGREEMENT
RENEWAL Rail, bus, and light rail
rolling stock and equipment is manufactured by a relatively
small number of industrial producers using proprietary designs
to meet the particular performance requirements and physical
environment of individual transit systems and railroads. The
equipment is not mass-produced, but manufactured to order.
Sole source technology vendors have
proprietary control over the manufacture of parts, components
and services needed for NJ TRANSIT’s continued use of
technology. The need for NJ TRANSIT to exercise sole and single
source authority relates to specific areas of technology,
including, but not limited to, the following: software
maintenance/licensing, hardware maintenance, integrated systems
and upgrades to pre-existing systems.
Authorization is requested to enter into
sole/single source procurement-by-exception contracts for the
purchase of parts and services from approved sole/single source
vendors set forth in the board item in Exhibits A1 and A2,
(subject to adjustments), and Board notification of new firms
whose aggregate spend exceeds $250,000, at a total cost not to
exceed $20,000,000 for replacement parts and $20,000,000 for
Computer Hardware and Software for the period July 1, 2013 to
June 30, 2014, subject to the availability of
funds. | |

| CSC TKR, LLC
(“CABLEVISION” TO PROVIDE WIFI INTERNET
SERVICE NJ TRANSIT will contract with
CSC TKR, LLC (“Cablevision”) to provide
high-speed wireless internet to customers via WIFI technology.
This private/public partnership enhances customer amenities and
improves their travel experience while reducing the reliance on
taxpayer subsidy as Cablevision will be providing this
infrastructure investment at no cost to NJ TRANSIT. By entering
into this partnership and implementing the associated service,
NJ TRANSIT customers will be able to browse the internet, send
and receive email, and use other internet-based applications at
NJ TRANSIT’s intermodal stations (rail, bus and light
rail), rail stations and platforms, and ultimately onboard rail
cars during their travel. This 20-year partnership also
enables NJ TRANSIT to obtain dedicated use of related
communications facilities (fiber optic, copper, and wireless
transmission lines) at no cost to the agency and reduce current
operating costs. Authorization is requested to
enter into NJ TRANSIT Contract No. 11-001 with Cablevision for
the implementation and maintenance of a system-wide wireless
internet (WIFI) service. Cablevision’s proposal was
selected as the result of a competitive Request for Proposals
(“RFP”) process. The contract is a no-cost
contract to NJ TRANSIT. |

| UNDERGRADE RAILROAD BRIDGES:
ENGINEERING SERVICES TO PERFORM IN-DEPTH INSPECTIONS,
EVALUATIONS AND RATINGS
NJ TRANSIT is responsible for maintaining a total
of 659 undergrade bridges, of which 570 bridges are in active
service carrying trains over roadways, waterways, and other
features. These in-depth bridge inspections, evaluations and
ratings are part of NJ TRANSIT’s asset management
strategy which emphasizes capital investments to restore
critical aging infrastructure to a state of good repair and
ultimately ensure safe and reliable service for customers. Also
these in-depth inspections and ratings satisfy one element of NJ
TRANSIT’s Bridge Management Program which is mandated
by the Federal Railroad Administration.
NJ TRANSIT uses information from these
inspections to plan and prioritize future capital investments.
The findings from these in-depth inspections and ratings will be
used to identify the next level of bridges that will be placed
on the capital program. Authorization is requested to
enter into three separate contracts with IH Engineers, P.C., of
Princeton, New Jersey (12-053D); WSP-Sells of Briarcliff Manor,
New York (12-053E); and KS Engineers, P.C. of Newark, New Jersey
(12-053F) to perform in-depth structural inspections,
evaluations, and load ratings of 116 undergrade bridges and
interim underwater diving inspections of eight undergrade
bridges, at costs not to exceed $666,186, $626,433 and $666,597
respectively, for a total cost of $1,959,216, plus five percent
for contingencies, subject to the availability of
funds. | |
