Jacobs Carter Burgess
of
Dallas, Texas
(“Jacobs”)
has provided
professional consulting services related to the design and implementation of the Commission’s new
Toll Collection System and Customer Service Center under the Contract for Project No. 71-05-03; and
WHEREAS, the Commission, via Resolution 47-2005, authorized Jacobs to perform the initial
study and prepare the strategic plan for replacement of the Toll Collection System and, via Resolution
43-2006, authorized Jacobs to prepare detailed Contract Documents and Specifications for the new
Toll Collection System and Customer Service Center, and to assist with evaluation of responses

WHEREAS, the Commission, via Resolution 24-2008, authorized Jacobs to perform
Construction Administration Services during the ongoing implementation of the new Toll Collection
System and Customer Service Center in the total not-to-exceed amount of
$637,746
; and
WHEREAS, since the assignment to perform Construction Administration Services, the
Commission, via Resolution 21-2009, authorized an increase to the fees for Jacobs’ Construction
Administration activities in the amount of
$178,245,
and the Executive Director, pursuant to his
authority, subsequently authorized an additional increase in the amount of
$62,189
; and
WHEREAS, the Chief Engineer and the Director of Audit and Internal Control have both
advised that, since October 1, 2009, Jacobs Carter Burgess has spent considerable time assisting the
Commission with several unanticipated issues that have resulted from the Toll Collection System “go-
live” activities, and that the current authorized funds are insufficient to complete the Project; and
WHEREAS, Jacobs has submitted a fee modification request in the not-to-exceed amount of
$59,715
that has been reviewed by the Chief Engineer and the Director of Audit and Internal Control,
who have both recommended that the request for the performance of the additional Construction
Administration activities be approved; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Commission’s Bylaws, additional expenditures beyond 10% of the
original spending authority granted by the Commission to the Executive Director require Commission
approval unless, among other exceptions, the increase is a result of “circumstances that would create a
life, safety or health-threatening situation;” and
WHEREAS, the Executive Director has reviewed the Chief Engineer’s and the Director of
Audit and Internal Control’s recommendation and concurs with the Jacobs Carter Burgess Fee
Modification Request; and
WHEREAS, the Commission has duly considered such recommendations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED that the Commission hereby authorizes and directs the Executive Director and the
Director of Contracts Administration to amend the Professional Consulting Services Contract with
Jacobs Carter Burgess to add the not-to-exceed amount of $59,715 for the performance of Construction
Administration activities required for the implementation of the new Toll Collection System and
Customer Service Center Project.
