The Kentucky-Indiana Joint Board has unanimously selected 4984 Kapsch TrafficCom as the preliminary preferred proposer in the competition to provide an electronic toll system for the bi-state Ohio River Bridges project.

The board’s action followed independent staff reviews of technical and financial proposals submitted by the competing firms. Kapsch was one of six interested companies that the board in January deemed qualified to submit proposals for the toll system provider (TSP) contract.

The Indiana Finance Authority (IFA), which is ultimately responsible for implementing the TSP procurement, is meeting in Indianapolis tomorrow today and is expected to give its preliminary approval to the selection of Kapsch. On 29 September, the authority will hold a public hearing on the TSP procurement. IFA intends to meet in October to consider final approval of Kapsch’s proposal. A notice to proceed could be issued as soon as November.

The TSP contract will embrace the supply and installation of vehicle detection and classification equipment, a back office billing system, customer service facilities and violations processing. The vendor will be responsible for installation, operation and maintenance of the entire system. Toll gantries and equipment pads will be supplied by the design-build contractor. Kapsch has already received a separate contract to supply transponders and multi-protocol readers for the project.
