RECOMMENDATION
Title
AUTHORIZE the Chief Executive Officer to execute Contract Modification No. 4 to Contract No. PS46172000, with Gannett Fleming Transit & Rail Systems, for engineering support of rail maintenance to exercise the first-year option, for an amount of $5,000,000, increasing the total contract not-to-exceed amount from $16,000,000 to $21,000,000, through April 2021.
Issue
ISSUE
Metro Maintenance and Engineering has limited scope and depth of engineering and technical resources to develop and execute capital projects and meet the day-to-day engineering needs necessary to maintain and improve railway infrastructure assets and systems. Contract No. PS46172000 has been providing significant engineering support that's enabled Metro to augment internal resources on an on-call basis in situations where either Metro does not have sufficient capacity or the expertise necessary to perform a task.
The base term for Contract No. PS46172000 is approaching its initial contract authority. A contract modification is required to exercise the first-year option to continue providing engineering support.
Background

This task order based contract provides for a range of services that includes train control, traction power, communications, track, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, civil design, and fare collection. Also included are support services for project management, construction management, and computer aided design and drafting (CADD).
