The primary function of the new OBOS, similar to the legacy TOBS, is to act as the Authority’s System of record, tracking a Transaction from its initiation in the roadside toll system to its final disposition and providing business intelligence tools to report on all of the Authority’s toll Transactions. Concurrent with the implementation of the new OBOS, the Authority is also procuring a new Roadside Toll Collection System (RTCS) to replace the legacy roadside system lanes. The new OBOS will receive and validate Transactions from the existing Roadside Toll Collection System and new RTCS and send them to the Florida Turnpike Enterprise’s Commercial Back Office System (CBOS), known as the CCSS, where the Transactions are either applied to prepaid accounts or processed as customer invoices. As the Transactions move through the CCSS process, the CCSS provides Amendments to the OBOS which clarify the status of the Transaction. If the CCSS is unsuccessful in either assigning the Transaction to a prepaid account or receiving payment on the Transaction via a customer invoice, the unpaid Transaction is sent back to OBOS. Unpaid Transactions returned from the CCSS may be referred to the Authority's contracted collection agency and a Registration Stop may be placed on the vehicle, if registered in Florida, via a communication to FLHSMV. The Authority is interested in soliciting Proposals from Proposers that can provide a state-of-the-art OBOS solution that is technically and operationally efficient and cost-effective with a modular, scalable architecture, utilizing proven commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products, where appropriate, capable of achieving all Requirements as further set forth in this Solicitation. The solicitation also includes the Maintenance and operation of the procured system.
