Title
AUTHORIZE the Chief Executive Officer to execute Contract Modification No. 17 to Contract No. PS4340-1939 for the I-710 South Corridor Project with URS Corporation (an AECOM Entity) to provide professional services for an additional four month period in the not-to-exceed amount of $3,729,598, increasing the total contract value from $45,794,130 to $49,523,728.

Issue
ISSUE

At the October 2015 meeting, the Board approved Motion 22.1 to evaluate additional scope elements for Alternatives 5C and 7 in the I-710 Corridor Project EIR/EIS and directed staff to report back in 60 days. The additional scope elements include bikeway and pedestrian improvements, right-of-way avoidance designs, and additional transit service analysis among other things (see Attachment D). Three independent bikeway projects were also recommended for study outside the EIR/EIS and staff was directed to return to the Board with recommendations on how to fund these studies.

Metro staff developed a statement of work and an independent cost estimate for the additional scope elements included in Motion 22.1. The contract modification covers the preliminary engineering and environmental studies associated with the additional scope items for the I-710 South Corridor EIR/EIS. The cost to develop the three independent bikeway projects ($1,196,596) will come from Measure R Administrative funds and is included in this contract modification. Staff also determined that the additional work will delay the re-circulation date by at least four months.
