TRANSPORTATION AGENCY FOR MONTEREY COUNTY
Memorandum
To: 

Board of Directors

From:

Theresa Wright, Community Outreach Coordinator

Meeting Date:

December 6, 2017

Subject:

Graphic Design On-Call Amendments #1


RECOMMENDED ACTION:

On-Call Graphic Design Contract Amendments:

  1. APPROVE contract amendment #1 with Eric Goldsberry Art Direction to extend the term of the agreement for graphic design on-call services until June 30, 2018; and
  2. APPROVE contract amendment #1 with Stensland Design to extend the term of the agreement for graphic design on-call services until June 30, 2018.
SUMMARY:
The Transportation Agency's contract for graphic design on-call services expires December 31, 2017. The contract amendments #1 with Eric Goldsberry Art Direction and Stensland Design would extend the term of the agreements until June 30, 2018 and continue with the existing budget without adding additional funds.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The agreements for graphic design on-call services with Eric Goldsberry Art Direction and Stensland Design were approved by the Board on May 27, 2015 with a total not-to-exceed amount of $65,000.  These amendments do not add more funds to the already approved budget.  With $45,500 remaining in the budget, there is sufficient programmed funding for this contract.
DISCUSSION:

At the October 25, 2017 meeting, the Transportation Agency Board of Directors received an integrated funding plan to begin construction on several Measure X projects in the next five years. Included in the presentation of the plan was a summary of the Board's September strategic planning session which included communications to the board and public as one of the goals that should be considered with implementing Measure X projects.

 

Since the measure went into effect on April 1, 2017, the City of King celebrated the completion of the first Measure X project in Monterey County in August with the repaving of 5 residential blocks in the city. The second Measure X project, the "Alta Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project" in Gonzales began in November; and other Measure X projects are in the pipeline. As with these projects and others, staff continues to utilize all available resources to communicate with the board and community though our public outreach efforts. 

 

As such, Agency staff is seeking to extend the agreements for on-call graphic design services with Eric Goldsberry Art Direction and Stensland Design until June 30, 2018 with the attached amendments #1. This will allow both designers to continue to provide graphic design work on an on-call basis for the Agency's public outreach/marketing documents for transportation projects and the Agency's Annual Report.
