ISSUE

Staff seeks to award a Quality Management Consultant Program Services contract to assist Metro in the delivery of voter approved Measures R, M, and other Board approved Capital Improvement projects. The recommended action will provide contract authority for Task Orders issued during the initial 26 months, FY's 2019, 2020, and 2021. Staff intends to return to the Board in two years to request additional contract authorization as additional contracts develop and the new quality oversight program matures.
