Title
AUTHORIZE the Chief Executive Officer to execute Modification No. 7 to Contract No. AE275020011497 with WSP USA, Inc.

Board action is requested in order to execute the contract modification for technical services needed to complete the Project Approval/Environmental Document (PA/ED) and 30% design for the I-105 ExpressLanes project.

Background
BACKGROUND

In June 2015, the Metro Board approved the Metro ExpressLanes Program Management Support Contract to provide professional services in support of ExpressLanes project planning and development. Work conducted in this contract includes preparation of Project Study Reports, traffic and revenue studies, PA/EDs, and Concepts of Operations.

In January 2017, the Los Angeles County ExpressLanes Strategic Plan was presented to the Board which identified the I-105 ExpressLanes project as a Tier 1 (near-term) project. At that meeting, the Board directed staff to initiate planning studies for Tier 1 projects.

Given that Caltrans had completed the required Project Initiation Document (PID) in September 2015 for the I-105, the bulk of the Program Management Support contract was dedicated to preparation of further studies associated with the I-105 ExpressLanes. This includes the PA/ED and Concept of Operations for the potential implementation of ExpressLanes on the I-105 between I-405/LAX and I-605.
