(M.I.G.) in the amount of $80,450 for contract services related to the preparation of the Eastside Mobility and Accessibility Plan (E -MAP) MEETING DATE: February 1,2006 PREPARED BY: Community Development Director, Randy Hatch RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with Moore lacofano Goltsman, Inc. (M.I.G.) in the amount of $80.450 for contract services related to the preparation of the Eastside Mobility and Accessibility Plan (E -MAP) BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In May of 2004 the City was approved by the Dept of Transportation for a grant in the amount of $80,000 plus a Local Matchlln-Kind of $14,000 for a total project budget of $94,000 to be used for a project known as the Eastside Mobility and Accessibility Plan (E- MAP) The intent of the E -MAP Project is to first identify a section of street(s) in the Eastside District that represent a heavily accessed destination point for the local residents of that community. The next step, with the assistance of Public Works and the Police Departments, is to identify specific pedestrian, bicyclist, and motorist safety issues related to accessibility on the street. Then with staff acting as the chair and the proposed consulting firm acting as the mediatorlfacilitator, members of the community will be invited to participate in a brain storming session (design charet). The charet is anticipated to highlight design elements and street treatments that could be incorporated in the future as public works updates and rehabilitees street treatments. The anticipated result is a document that would present design guidelines that would provide for a safer pedestrian, bicyclist, and motorist friendly street-scape that reflects the culture and history of the neighborhood through the use of street treatments such as paving materials, street furniture, public art, murals and other improvements. The ultimate intent is to improve mobility and accessibility for all the residents in the community while celebrating the distinct cultural and historical identity of the neighborhood. In the future if funding and support exists, these guidelines can be used as a template to improve other streets in the City in need of rehabilitation. FISCAL IMPACT: The City was approved by the Dept of Transportation for a grant in the amount of $80,000 plus a Local Matchlln-Kind of $14,000 for a total project budget of $94,000. It is staffs intent that the In-kind match be staff time and overhead with minimal cash contributions toward this project. The minimal cash contributions toward this project will include the $450 to the consultant over the $80,000 grant, office supplies, and possibly food for working lunches. Any anticipated improvements suggested by this document will be subject to consideration and funding at that time. APPROVED: BlairKirKf, City Manager FUNDING AVAILABLE: As part of the grant approval the City will be awarded a maximum of $80,000 on a reimbursement bases for consulting services provided by our consultant. Since the anticipated cash contributions toward this project are not expect to exceed $1,000, the Department budget would be able to absorb said expenditures.
