Title
Amendment to the 241/91 Express Lanes Connector Project Peer Review
Overview
A direct connector between the State Route 241 toll road and the 91 Express Lanes is included in the State Route 91 Implementation Plan. In order to advance the project, the Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency requested that an investment grade traffic and revenue study be prepared by Stantec, Inc. Since Stantec, Inc., also serves as an advisor to the Orange County Transportation Authority, CDM Smith, Inc., was hired to review and analyze the Stantec, Inc., study. An amendment to the CDM Smith, Inc., contract is required to address anticipated further review and analysis.
Recommendation(s)
Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate and execute Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. C-5-3798 between the Orange County Transportation Authority and CDM Smith, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $50,000, for further review and analysis. This will increase the maximum obligation of the agreement to a total contract value of $107,333.20.
