Requested Action(s)
recommendation
Approve Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement Between the Tehama County Transportation Commission and GreenDOT Transportation Solutions to reflect the increased compensation for the purpose of amending the Regional Transportation Plan.
body
Financial Impact:
None
Background Information:
GreenDOT Transportation Solutions has been the on-call transportation planning firm that provides support to TCTC staff through additional services and consultation. This amendment formalizes additional compensation for the continued engagement of GreenDOT for ongoing transportation planning needs, ensuring that the expertise and resources required for successful project completion are readily available.
Staff recommends amending the existing contract for the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) update to increase the maximum allowable compensation by $25,000. This amendment is necessary to incorporate late comments submitted by Caltrans after the established deadline, which requires changes to the RTP.
While staff recognizes the importance of addressing all input to ensure the RTP aligns with state and regional goals, it is important to highlight the impact of such delays. This additional cost to the agency could have been avoided with more timely coordination. Staff seeks the Commission's support for this amendment but also wishes to emphasize the need for improved adherence to deadlines in the future to prevent similar situations.
