74 Guidebook for Implementing Alternative Technical Concepts in All Types of Highway Project Delivery Methods B.2 CATC Submittal Format Texas DOT P3 Pre-Proposal ATC Pre-Proposal ATC submissions shall include: (a) a sequential ATC number identifying the Proposer and the ATC number (multi-part or multi-option ATCs shall be submitted as separate individual ATCs with unique sequential numbers); (b) a description and conceptual drawings of the configuration of the ATC or other appropriate descriptive information, including a traffic operational analysis, if appropriate; (c) the locations where, and an explanation of how, the ATC will be used on the Concession Facility; (d) any changes in operations requirements associated with the ATC, including ease of operations; (e) any changes in maintenance requirements associated with the ATC, including ease of maintenance; (f) any changes in Handback Requirements associated with the ATC; (g) any changes in the anticipated life of the item(s) comprising the ATC; (h) any reduction in the time period necessary to design and construct the Concession Facility resulting from implementing the ATC, including, as appropriate, a description of method and commitments; (i) references to requirements of the RFP which are inconsistent with the proposed ATC, an explanation of the nature of the deviations from said requirements, and a request for approval of such deviations; (j) the analysis justifying use of the ATC and why the deviation, if any, from the requirements of the RFP should be allowed; (k) a preliminary analysis of potential impacts on vehicular traffic (both during and after construction), environmental permitting, community impact, safety, and lifecycle Concession Facility and infrastructure costs, including impacts on the cost of repair, maintenance and operation; (l) a preliminary analysis of potential impacts on Concession Facility revenue; (m) if and what additional right-of-way will be required to implement the ATC (and Proposers are advised that they shall (i) be solely responsible for the acquisition of any such right-of-way, including the cost thereof and obtaining any necessary Environmental Approvals; (ii) not be entitled to any additional time or money as a result of Site conditions (i.e., Hazardous Materials, differing site conditions, geotechnical issues, Utilities, etc.) on such additional right-of-way; and (iii) not be entitled to any additional time or money as a result of any delay, inability or cost associated with the acquisition of such right of way); (n) a description of other projects where the ATC has been used, the degree of success or failure of such usage and names and contact information including phone numbers and e-mail addresses for project owner representatives that can confirm such statements; (o) a description of added risks to TxDOT or third parties associated with implementing the ATC; (p) an estimate of any additional TxDOT, Developer and third-party costs associated with implementation of the ATC; (q) an estimate of any savings that would accrue to TxDOT should the ATC be approved and implemented; (r) a description of how the ATC is equal or better in quality and performance than the requirements of the RFP; and (s) a preliminary analysis of potential impacts on the Public Funds Request.
P3 ATC Information 75 B.3 ATC Submittal Format Florida DOT P3 Formal ATC All ATC submittals shall be sequentially numbered and include the following information and discussions: a. Description: A description and conceptual drawings of the configuration of the ATC or other appropriate descriptive information, including, if appropriate, product details and a traffic operational analysis; b. Usage: The locations where and an explanation of how the ATC would be used on the Project; c. Deviations: References to requirements of the RFP which are inconsistent with the proposed ATC, an explanation of the nature of the deviations from the requirements and a request for approval of such deviations along with suggested changes to the requirements of the RFP which would allow the alternative proposal; d. Analysis: An analysis justifying use of the ATC and why the deviation, if any, from the requirements of the RFP should be allowed; e. Impacts: A preliminary analysis of potential impacts on vehicular traffic (both during and after construction), environmental impacts, community impacts, safety, and life-cycle Project and infrastructure costs, including impacts on the cost of repair, maintenance, and operation; f. Risks: A description of added risks to the Department or third parties associated with implementation of the ATC; g. Quality: A description of how the ATC is equal or better in quality and performance than the requirements of the RFP; h. Operations: Any changes in operation requirements associated with the ATC, including ease of operations; i. Maintenance: Any changes in maintenance requirements associated with the ATC, including ease of maintenance; j. Anticipated Life: Any changes in the anticipated life of the item comprising the ATC; k. Handback: Any changes in Handback Requirements associated with the ATC; l. Project Revenue: A preliminary analysis of potential impacts on Project Revenue; m. Payments: A preliminary analysis of potential impacts on the Upfront Concession Payment and Annual Lease Payment.
76 Guidebook for Implementing Alternative Technical Concepts in All Types of Highway Project Delivery Methods B.4 ATC Evaluation and Response Texas DOT P3 ATC Evaluation Department may request additional information regarding a proposed ATC at any time. Department will make every attempt to respond to the ATC in a timely manner. However, Department reserves the right not to respond to any ATC. Department and the Proposer can discuss ATCs at one-on-one meetings. Departmentâs ATC response times and/or the one-on-one meetings will not be grounds for a protest. Department will review each ATC and will respond to Proposer with one of the following determinations: A) The ATC is Approved. B) The ATC is not Approved. C) The ATC is not Approved in its present form, but may be Approved upon satisfaction, in Departmentâs sole judgment, of certain identified conditions that shall be met or certain clarifications or modifications that shall be made (Conditionally Approved). D) The submittal does not qualify as an ATC but may be included in the Proposal without an ATC (i.e., the concept complies with the baseline RFP requirements). E) The submittal does not qualify as an ATC and may not be included in the Proposal.
