RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Consulting Services Agreement (contract) amendment with Fehr & Peers (F&P), effective November 9, 2021, to increase the payment limit by $50,000 to a new payment limit of $300,000 and to replace the Personnel and Billing Rates table of the contract, to provide transportation planning services to the County in preparation of the County’s first Active Transportation Plan (Plan), with no change to the term of August 11, 2020 through February 28, 2022, Countywide. (Project No. 0676-6P1099) (All Districts)

FISCAL IMPACT:

This project, including the contract, will be funded by 88.4% Sustainable Communities Planning Grant Funds (State) and 11.6% Transportation Development Act Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The original Agreement to provide transportation planning services to the County was approved by the Board on August 11, 2020.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 30, 2021, Administrative Amendment No. 1 was approved by the Public Works Director, effective January 1, 2021 to update the County’s contact information and to correct errors in the original Personnel and Billing Rates of the contract.

Proposed Amendment No. 2 will increase the payment limit from $250,000 to $300,000 and replace the Personnel and Billing Rates of the contract to reflect changes in the allocation of funding by task. In order to comply with conditions of the grant, the Personnel and Billing Rates, including the allocations for each task, must be accurate.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval from the Board of Supervisors, the contract will not have sufficient funds to complete the Active Transportation Plan. A delay in executing this contract will delay the preparation of the Active Transportation Plan by the consultant and will jeopardize grant funding.
