A. AUTHORIZING the Chief Executive Officer to execute Modification No. 14 to Contract No. AE5999300 with WSP USA, Inc. to provide environmental technical work and outreach support to complete the Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (FEIS/FEIR), as well as conduct additional technical analysis to identify a cost-effective alignment route for the Slauson/A Line (Blue) to Los Angeles Union Station segment of the West Santa Ana Branch (WSAB) Transit Corridor Project in the amount of $13,601,672, increasing the Total Contract Value from $29,786,881 to $43,388,553 and to extend the Contract Period of Performance through June 30, 2023; and
B. INCREASING Contract Modification Authority (CMA) specific to Contract No. AE5999300 in the amount of $1,000,000 from $2,476,120 to $3,476,120 to support additional environmental assessment work, and any other future technical work identified through future coordination efforts and/or as directed by the Board.
HAHN AMENDMENT:

I'd like to request that, as part of this action before us today, that a possible future station in Cerritos, between Studebaker Road and Gridley Road, also be included in this assessment.
