Title
AUTHORIZE the Chief Executive Officer to execute Modification No. 4 to Contract No. AE67085000, Sepulveda Transit Corridor Environmental Review and Conceptual Engineering, with HTA Partners (HTA), a joint venture between HNTB Corporation, Terry A. Hayes Associates Inc., and AECOM Technical Services, Inc., in the amount of $4,108,638.43 for additional technical services to support the environmental phase for all six alternatives and the refinement of the Alternative 6 design, increasing the total contract value from $54,592,930 to $58,701,568.43.

It would also allow Metro to perform the necessary design work and analysis associated with Alternative 6. These technical services should be conducted by the existing contractor team for continuity and to avoid any delays associated with procuring a separate contractor.
