RECOMMENDATION

Title
APPROVED awarding and executing a Firm Fixed Labor-Hour Contract No. AE275020011497 to Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB) for a three-year period for ExpressLanes Program Management Support Services for a total contract value not-to-exceed $7,700,000.

To complete the planning efforts required for the I-105 conversion and the I-110 South extension, staff requires professional services to support or lead the phases of ExpressLanes project planning and development. In addition to the PSR/PDS and PA/ED, other supportive analyses and activities will need to be completed including traffic and revenue studies, concept of operations reports, environmental justice assessments, public outreach, and market research.

The preparation of these additional studies and reports requires diverse specialized technical expertise and knowledge rendering the program manager approach the most efficient and effective path forward. The Metro ExpressLanes Program Management Support Services contract will provide the necessary resources to complete a potentially large and varied number of tasks and enable staff to quickly respond to Metro's needs and Board direction.
