TRANSPORTATION AGENCY FOR MONTEREY COUNTY Memorandum | |
| | | | | | | | | To: | Board of Directors | | From: | Ariana Green, Principal Transportation Planner | | Meeting Date: | May 26, 2021 | | Subject: | Salinas Safe Routes to School Plan Contract Amendment #1 |
| |
| | | | | | | | | RECOMMENDED ACTION: | Salinas Safe Routes to School Plan Contract Amendment
- APPROVE Amendment #1 to the Salinas Safe Routes to School Contract with Ecology Action extending the term of the Agreement from June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023 and adding an additional not-to-exceed amount of $97,200 changing the total budget from $690,000 to $787,200; and
- AUTHORIZE 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 Salinas Safe Routes to School Plan will include recommendations for all public K-12 schools in the city of Salinas and is funded through a Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant ($954,502) and Measure X Safe Routes to school funds ($168,978). Amendment #1 will correct the omission of Ecology Action's sub-contractor budget by adding an additional not-to-exceed amount of $97,200 to the contract for a total contract amount of $787,200 and extend the term of the agreement in response to scheduling delays due to shelter-in-place orders. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT: | | Amendment #1 of the Salinas Safe Routes to School contract with Ecology Action will be funded through the already Board-approved Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Grant ($954,502) and matching Measure X Safe Routes to School program funds ($168,978). No additional funding is needed. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | DISCUSSION: | The Board approved the original contract with Ecology Action for work on the Salinas Safe Routes to School Plan on September 25, 2019 in the amount of $690,050; however, this amount did not capture the $97,200 their subcontractor needs to complete the agreed-upon work. The $97,200 was listed in the original project scope of work and reflected in the overall project budget but was not rolled up into the total budget for Ecology Action's contract.
Amendment #1 will correct this error in the contract and provide the needed funds for Ecology Action to complete their work on the Salinas Safe Routes to School Plan. Amendment #1 will also extend the duration of the contract from June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023 to compensate for delays resulting from school site closures in 2020 and 2021. |
