Approval of On-Call Consultant Contracts for Transportation Planning and Engineering.
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The City of Redmond has been using transportation planning & engineering on-call consultant and vendor services to expand the capability of Redmond staff and accelerate delivery of transportation planning and engineering services to the community since 2009. The primary focus of the consultants has been to augment staff's efforts to advance transportation projects to construction. The use of on-call agreements has also proven effective and efficient in responding to a variety of unexpected needs such as new development proposals and new opportunities for project funding.
Each of these on-call contracts will be for a period of two (2) years with an option to be extended for an additional two (2) years. Each contract has a maximum allowable contract value, but this Council Action does not authorize any spending.
Every task order under these contracts must be funded through an already Council authorized project or program. Examples include: CIP projects, studies funded through the budget process, and funds in the operating budget for pedestrian and bicycle improvements.
