Information
TITLE:
Consideration and Approval of Contract: Increase SWCA, Inc. GIS Services contract 2016-25 in the amount of $5,500.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the contract amendment for $5,500.
Executive Summary:
Approval of the contract increase will permit final analysis and map production for the FMPO regional transportation plan.
Original scope of work was more complex than originally anticipated.
Financial Impact:
The original contract is in the amount of $49,500. The additional funding of $5,500 will use local cash funds. These are offset by the federal fund savings in the same amount in the regional transportation plan outreach contract for which final invoicing has been received.
Connection to Council Goal and/or Regional Plan:

3) Provide sustainable and equitable public facilities, services, and infrastructure systems in an efficient and effective manner to serve all population areas and demographics

REGIONAL PLAN:

Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This:
No. The original contract amount fell below the $50,000 threshold.
Options and Alternatives:
The Council may elect to reject this request, in which case, due to the lack of staffing the project will take longer to complete in-house, the quality of the maps and communication of information to the public via those maps may not be as detailed.
Background/History:
The FMPO regional transportation plan is a federally mandated product. SWCA, Inc has been under contract since February. They have done creative work. The remaining scope items are mapping of the various analytical products for use in the plan document.
Expanded Financial Considerations:
The FMPO is a grant funded organization. It also receives local cash for use as match. The SWCA contract is paid for with local funds. The initial contract is awarded for $49,500 through a Request for Qualifications (RFB 2016-25) process.
Community Benefits and Considerations:
Professional maps will make the regional transportation plan easier to read by the public and decision-makers.
