Alamo Regional Mobility Authority

Request for Qualifications, Design/Build Comprehensive Development Agreement

The Alamo Regional Mobility Authority ("Alamo RMA"), a political subdivision, is soliciting statements of interest and qualifications from entities interested in pursuing the development of the US 281 North at Loop 1604 Interchange Project ("the Project") through a design/build comprehensive development agreement ("D/B Agreement"). The Project is generally described as the addition of four direct connections between US 281 North and Loop 1604, constructed over the existing frontage roads and mainlanes. Some adjustments to US 281 North and Loop 1604 mainlanes, frontage roads, and ramps may be required to accommodate the connections. The entity selected for the Project, if any, will be responsible for the design and construction of the Project through a Design/Build Agreement. The Alamo RMA anticipates utilizing, in part, funds allocated through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for this Project and, therefore, will be required to meet all stipulations that come with those funds.

The request for qualifications will be available March 27, 2009. Copies may be obtained from the Alamo RMA website at http://www.alamorma.org/, or by contacting the Alamo RMA Office at (210) 495-5256. Periodic updates, addenda, and clarifications will be posted on the Alamo RMA website; and interested parties are responsible for monitoring the website accordingly. There will be a pre-proposal conference for interested parties at the Alamo Area Council of Governments, 8700 Tesoro Drive, Suite 100, San Antonio, Texas 78217 (1st Floor Conference Room) at 1:30 p.m. Central Time on April 7, 2009. Attendance at the pre-proposal conference is not a condition of submitting a proposal. Final responses must be received in the offices of the Alamo RMA by or before 4:00 p.m. Central Time April 28, 2009, to be eligible for consideration.

Each proposing entity will be evaluated based on the criteria and process set forth in the RFQ.

PUBLIC COMMENT/PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting on this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application.

Unless the application is directly referred for a contested case hearing, the response to comments, and the Executive Director's decision on the application, will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting reconsideration of the Executive Director's decision and for requesting a contested case hearing. A person who may be affected by the facility is entitled to request a contested case hearing from the commission. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in state district court.

TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name, address, phone number; applicant's name and permit number; the location and distance of your property/activities relative to the facility; a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way not common to the general public; and, the statement "[I/we] request a contested case hearing."

Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.

The Commission will only grant a contested case hearing on disputed issues of fact that are relevant and material to the Commission's decision on the application. Further, the Commission will only grant a hearing on issues that were raised in timely filed comments that were not subsequently withdrawn.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) intends to submit to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services a request to renew the NorthSTAR 1915(b) waiver to the Texas State Plan for Medical Assistance under the authority of Title XIX of the Social Security Act. The current waiver is scheduled to expire September 30, 2009. The proposed effective date for the renewal is October 1, 2009.

NorthSTAR provides behavioral health services (mental health and substance abuse) to eligible individuals in the Dallas service delivery area. These services are provided in a managed care setting. Individuals enrolled in the NorthSTAR have access to coordinated mental health and substance abuse/chemical dependency services that exceed the traditional Medicaid service array. NorthSTAR serves seven counties in Texas: Collin, Dallas, Ellis, Hunt, Kaufman, Navarro and Rockwall.

NorthSTAR is administered through a contract with a behavioral health organization (BHO). The BHO contract includes outcome and performance measures specifically designed for behavioral health. The BHO is required to subcontract with a specialty provider network for the provision of a set of specialty treatment services and service coordination services for enrollees with serious mental illness and serious emotional disturbance. The BHO is also contractually required to maintain an adequate network of other behavioral health provider specialties, including: psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed therapists, substance abuse treatment facilities, and hospitals.

HHSC will request that the waiver renewal be approved for an additional two year period beginning October 1, 2009, and extending through September 30, 2011. This waiver maintains cost neutrality of service costs for federal fiscal years 2009 through 2011.

To obtain copies of the proposed waiver, interested parties may contact Christine Longoria by mail at Texas Health and Human Services Commission, P.O. Box 85200, Mail Code H-600, Austin, Texas 78708-5200, by telephone at (512) 491-1152, by fax at (512) 491-1953, or by e-mail at christine.longoria@hhsc.state.tx.us.
