NTTA is not responsible for, and will not open, any proposal responses which are received later

is the official time clock used for the purpose of the due date and time of the proposals. Any

responsibility of the NTTA.
NTTA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to waive any technicality in a response to this
RFP, provided such action is in the best interests of the NTTA. Where NTTA waives minor
technicalities in a Proposal, such waiver does not modify the RFP requirements or excuse the
Respondent from full compliance with the RFP. Notwithstanding the waiver of any minor
technicalities, NTTA holds all Respondents to strict compliance with the RFP.
C.

LANGUAGE, WORDS USED INTERCHANGEABLY
The word AUTHORITY, Authority or NTTA refers to the NORTH TEXAS TOLLWAY
AUTHORITY throughout this document. Similarly, Respondent, Vendor, and Proposer refer to
the person or company submitting an offer to sell its goods or services to the Authority. The
words Proposal and, Quotation, are all offers from the Proposer. NTTA has established for the
purposes of this RFP that the words “must” or “will” are equivalent in this RFP and indicate a
mandatory requirement or condition, the material deviation from which will not be waived by the
Authority. A deviation is material if, at the sole discretion of the Authority, the deficient response
is not in substantial accord with this RFP’s mandatory condition requirements. The words
“should” and “may” are equivalent in the RFP and indicate very desirable conditions or
requirements but are permissive in nature. Deviation from, or omission of, such a desirable
condition or requirement will not in and of itself cause automatic rejection of a proposal, but may
result in being considered as not in the best interest of the Authority.

SCOPE

IV. ADDITIONAL TERMS & CONDITIONS
A.
OPEN RECORDS
Respondents are advised that information included in a proposal is subject to the Texas Public
Information Act, Chapter 552 of the Texas Government Code (the Act). Information a third party
submits to or prepares on behalf of NTTA is subject to the Act and must qualify for an exception
provided by the Act to be withheld from public disclosure. Information is not confidential under
the Act simply because the party submitting the information anticipates or requests that it be
kept confidential. NTTA cannot bring information within an exception to disclosure under the
Act merely through a contract or agreement to keep the information confidential. Accordingly, a
Respondent whose proposal may include information that the Respondent believes in good faith
to be proprietary or commercial information and that the Respondent otherwise keeps
confidential for competitive reasons is responsible for identifying and proving that such
information qualifies for an exception to public disclosure under the Act. Each item of such
information must be separately and conspicuously labeled “Confidential Proprietary
Information.” NTTA, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and attorneys will not be liable for
any disclosure of any information submitted in a response to this RFP. By submitting a
proposal, the Respondent waives any claim against, and releases from liability, NTTA, its
directors, officers, employees, agents, and attorneys with respect to disclosure of any
information included in the proposal, including information labeled as “Confidential Proprietary
Information.” The Respondent also authorizes NTTA, at its sole option, to submit any
information contained in the proposal, including information the Respondent has labeled as
being proprietary, to the Office of the Attorney General for a determination as to whether any
such information submitted by the Respondent may be excepted from public disclosure under
the Act, either by its provisions alone or in conjunction with other law. For the purpose of asking
the Office of the Attorney General to determine whether an exception to disclosure exists for
information the Respondent deems to be proprietary, NTTA will submit to the Attorney General
only that information the Respondent has specifically labeled “Confidential Proprietary
Information.”
B.
AWARD NON-EXCLUSIVE
NTTA may award one or more contracts to each Proposer. There will be no minimum amount
of services awarded any Proposer under this RFP. The successful Proposers will assume total
responsibility for all deliverables awarded to them. Further, the NTTA will consider the
successful Proposers to be the sole point of contact with regard to contractual matters, including
payment of all charges resulting from the contract. No sub-contractor will be paid directly by
payment of all charges resulting from the contract. No sub-contractor will be paid directly by
NTTA. The successful Proposers will be solely responsible for the success of any portion of

proposals shall be considered valid until the proposal evaluation, award, and contract execution
process is completed (estimated 90 – 150 days).

written notification to the Purchasing and Accounting divisions of NTTA.
E.
TAX EXEMPT AUTHORITY
All payments to be made by the Authority to the Vendor pursuant to the Contract are inclusive of

tax-exempt entity under Sections 151.309, et seq., of the Texas Tax Code. Title to any
consumable items purchased by the Vendor in performing the Contract will be deemed to have
passed to the Authority at the time the Vendor takes possession or earlier, and such
consumable items must immediately be marked, labeled, or physically identified as the property
of the Authority, to the extent practical.
F.
STATEMENT OF CONFIDENTIALITY
Proposer agrees that any information accessed or gained in performance of those duties will be

NORTH TEXAS TOLLWAY AUTHORITY
“DISADVANTAGED, MINORITY, WOMEN-OWNED, AND SMALL BUSINESS
ENTERPRISE PROGRAM”
Professional Services, Consulting and Goods/Services Contracts, and Special
Provision for Construction and Maintenance related projects
1. General
The North Texas Tollway Authority (the Authority) is committed to providing contracting
opportunities for disadvantaged, minority, women-owned, and small business enterprises
(D/M/WBE). In this regard, the Authority maintains DBE, M/WBE, and SBE programs in order to
facilitate contracting opportunities for these businesses.
The programs are implemented in accordance with the NTTA’s Disadvantage, Minority,
Women-Owned and Small Business Enterprises Policy (Diversity Policy), originally adopted by
the NTTA Board of Directors under Resolution No. 10-19 on January 20, 2010, and any
revisions thereafter.
The following document outlines:
•

•
Criteria regarding commercially useful function
Factors to determine good faith efforts
Contractor responsibilities
Monthly reporting and compliance requirements
Noncompliance enforcement
The Business Diversity Department Contracting and Compliance Manual (CCM) outline the
procedures, provisions and compliance requirements to support and comply with the Authority’s
Diversity Policy. The CCM is approved and incorporated into the contract by reference for all
purposes by the Authority.
The CCM and the Diversity Policy may be obtained online at the NTTA website at
https://www.ntta.org/procurement/busdiv/complianceandresources/Pages/default.aspx
or by contacting the Business Diversity Department at (214) 461-2007.
2. Commercially useful function criteria
A commercially useful function (CUF) is when the D/M/WBE is responsible for the performance,
management and supervision of a distinct element of work, in accordance with normal industry
practice. The criteria utilized to determine a commercially useful function is set forth in the CCM
(page 18).
3. Factors to determine good faith efforts
All prime contractors are required to demonstrate a good faith effort toward achieving a
D/M/WBE goal. A good faith effort can be demonstrated by actions which, by their scope,
28
intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, can reasonably be expected to, either
individually or collectively, achieve the goal.
If a prime contractor does not meet the designated goal, it shall nevertheless be eligible for
award of the contract if it can demonstrate to the NTTA that it has made a good faith effort to
meet the goal. The factors that determine if a good faith effort has been met are set forth in the
CCM (page 23).
4. Contractor’s responsibilities
All responding firms, including D/M/WBE certified firms, must submit documentation regarding
all subcontractor utilization and how they will meet or exceed the established goal using certified
D/M/WBE firms for this project on the Commitment Agreement Form (Form 4906) provided.
Commitment Agreement Form (Form 4906), good faith effort documentation and supporting
information must be submitted to the Business Diversity Department for all contracting
opportunities in accordance to the CCM. Form 4906 must be submitted to the Authority with the
proposal.
Information for construction and maintenance related projects
For all construction and maintenance related projects, Form 4906 must be submitted to the
Authority no later than 5:00 pm on the 14th day after written notification of the conditional award
of the contract.
Additional questions and/or clarification can be obtained by contacting the Director of Business
Diversity at [email protected]. Please copy the Procurement Services Department at
[email protected] on all correspondence. Form 4906 must include a brief description of
the type of work to be performed and the dollar value or percentage of utilization of work that will
be assigned to the subcontractors including D/M/WBEs and must be signed by both the prime
contractor and subcontractor.
All compliance forms may be obtained online at the NTTA website at
https://www.ntta.org/procurement/busdiv/complianceandresources/Pages/default.aspx
5. Monthly reporting and compliance requirements
NTTA PRISM contract compliance software (NTTA PRISM system) is the Authority’s web-based
computer system that tracks the monthly subcontractor payment reporting for NTTA contracts.
NTTA PRISM system has been fully implemented and replaces the manual subcontractor
payment reporting with a more efficient online reporting process.
Prime contractors are required to submit their information into the business diversity contract
compliance tracking system by the 15th of each month. Prime contractors will have a
designated User ID & password to login to the contract compliance tracking system via the
following link http://ntta.prismcompliance.com
6. Noncompliance enforcement
All participants of the D/M/WBE business process must comply with the requirements set forth
in the Diversity Policy and are subject to noncompliance enforcement as set forth in the NonCompliance Enforcement section of the CCM.

Total D/M/WBE Goal
____15______% of total contract amount
Pursuant to the Authority’s Disadvantaged, Minority, Women-Owned and Small Business
Enterprises Policy, and as outlined in the “Business Diversity Department Contractors
Compliance Handbook”, SBE utilization will continue to be tracked, reported, and monitored in
its procurements. However, SBE participation will be counted independent of D/M/WBE
participation goal and tracked separately. Women-owned minority firms certified as WBEs will
count towards NTTA’s MBE participation. Minority firms certified as DBEs will count towards
NTTA’s DBE participation.
DBE = Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
MBE = Minority Business Enterprise
WBE = Women-Owned Business Enterprise
SBE = Small Business Enterprise

TRACKING SOFTWARE”
1. Introduction
The NTTA PRISM contract compliance software (“PRISM system”) is the Authority’s
web-based computer system that tracks the monthly subcontractor payment reporting
for NTTA contracts. The PRISM system has been fully implemented and replaces the

Manual (CCM), if a contract includes a D/M/WBE subcontracting commitment, the prime
contractor shall submit Monthly Subcontractor Payment and reporting activity to the
Business Diversity Department (BDD) via PRISM. The Monthly Subcontractor Payment
and reporting activity reflects actual payments made for the specific month indicated.
Information provided is utilized to monitor and track the percentage of work performed
by all subcontractors and to confirm whether the contract-specific goal established is
fulfilled.
2. NTTA Contractor’s Obligations
The Contractor shall utilize the PRISM system for monthly subcontractor payment
reporting and other reporting compliance as outlined in the CCM. Contractors will have
a designated User ID and password to login to the PRISM system and may access the

32
be granted. The Contractor shall agree to comply with all terms and conditions
associated with its use of the PRISM system. At any time during the contract, the
Contractor may request for additional PRISM system training as a refresher course for
existing PRISM system users or to add new individuals who will require use of the
PRISM system.

access the PRISM system. Please refer to the General Notes in the plan set regarding
the list of computer equipment and software required for this project to meet the

The Contractor will be able to access the PRISM system via the internet from any
location 24 hours a day using their designated user ID and password via the following
link: http://ntta.prismcompliance.com. In the event that the PRISM system becomes
