TRANSPORTATION AGENCY FOR MONTEREY COUNTY
Memorandum
To: 

Board of Directors

From:

Madilyn Jacobsen, Transportation Planner

Meeting Date:

December 2, 2020

Subject:

SB 743 VMT Threshold Development - Contract Amendment #1


RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Senate Bill 743 Technical Assistance - Contract Amendment

  1. APPROVE Amendment #1 to the contract with Kimley-Horn Associates extending the term of the Agreement from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021 for Senate Bill 743 Technical Assistance for Vehicle Miles Traveled Threshold Development; and
  2. AUTHORIZE the Executive Director to make administrative changes to the contract if such changes do not increase the Agency's net cost, subject to approval by Agency counsel. 
SUMMARY:
The process of developing VMT Thresholds under Senate Bill 743 is individualized for all jurisdictions, and staff was overly optimistic about how long coordination with city and county staff would take for the seven participating jurisdictions. The proposed contract amendment will extend the timeline from December 31, 2020 through June 30, 2021, with no changes to the contract's not to exceed amount of $130,310.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The proposed amendment will not impact the contract's not to exceed amount of $130,310. Charges for the work under the contract are reimbursed by the participating jurisdictions. 
DISCUSSION:

On June 24, 2020 the Transportation Agency Board of Directors approved an agreement for services with Kimley-Horn Associates to provide region-wide support in Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Threshold Development with a not to exceed approval of $150,000. The contract entered reflects the six participating cities and Monterey County, with a narrowed scope and cost of $130,310. 

 

TAMC is administering this shared contract to provide interested jurisdictions more timely and less costly technical assistance than would otherwise be available under several individual contracts. The VMT Threshold Development process is individualized for each of the participating jurisdictions and not all jurisdictions are at the same point in the process of developing their VMT Thresholds. The requested contract timeline extension will allow thorough engagement between the participating jurisdictions and the consultant, as well as timing for required approvals from all participating cities and Monterey County.
