REPORT <br />August 27, 2018 <br />SUBJECT <br />Amendment No. <br />CDM Smith, Inc. <br />6.1.H. - Page 1 <br />To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From the City Manager <br />1 to Amended and Restated Agreement for Professional Services with <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />By motion, approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the <br />Amended and Restated Agreement for Professional Services with CDM Smith, Inc., <br />extending the term of the agreement for a period of two years, regarding a feasibility <br />study for the Downtown Transit Center and Broadway Streetcar line <br />BACKGROUND <br />On March 28, 2016, the City Council authorized a professional services agreement with <br />CDM Smith to conduct a feasibility study for the Downtown Transit Center and <br />Broadway Streetcar study. This agreement, for $450,000, would conduct alternatives <br />analysis for various streetcar lines and short and long-term improvements to the <br />Downtown Transit Center. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Due to competing staff priorities, the study has taken longer than expected, and an <br />extension of time is required to continue work. The contract, originally proposed for a <br />period of approximately two years, expired in March of this year. This extension of time <br />allows work to continue through March 2020 (Attachment 1). However, it is expected <br />that the study will be considered well in advance of this date. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />The City Council may choose not to approve the extension of time. This means that all <br />work with CDM Smith on the Downtown Transit Center and Broadway Streetcar study <br />would halt. <br />
