1. Roll Call 2. Approval of Minutes of the January 12, 2010 Meeting - ACTION* attachment 3. Recommend Increasing the Amount of the Professional Services Contract with Pendergast and Associates by $200,000, to a Total Amount Not to Exceed $600,000, to Provide Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Consulting Services for the Doyle Drive Replacement Project - ACTION* attachment In July 2009, through approval of Resolution 10-03, the Authority Board authorized a two-year contract with two additional one-year extension options to Pendergast and Associates (Pendergast) to provide Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) consulting services for the Doyle Drive Replacement Project. The two-year contract had an initial budget of $400,000. Pendergast provides DBE consulting services to the Authority and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for the Doyle Drive construction packages. The original budget for this contract provided adequate Urban Partnership Program federal funds for the anticipated services for the first year of the contract. The original budget did not provide funding for future tasks or unknown scope of works. This amendment includes funding for tasks not identified when the Pendergast contract budget was negotiated, including assistance with associated workforce development programs and small business certification campaigns. We are seeking a recommendation to increase the amount of the professional services contract with Pendergast and Associates by $200,000, to a total amount not to exceed $600,000, to provide Disadvantaged Business Enterprise consulting services for the Doyle Drive Replacement Project. 4. Recommend Approval of the 2010 State and Federal Legislative Program - ACTION* attachment Every year in January or February, the Authority adopts a legislative program to guide the agency's transportation advocacy efforts at the state and federal levels. The proposed State and Federal Legislative Program reflects key principles, gathered from our common positions with the Self-Help Counties Coalition, comprised of the other local transportation sales tax authorities around the state), as well as our understanding of the most pressing issues facing the region, the City, and the agencies that deliver transportation in the city. The proposed program is presented in the form of principles, not specific bills or legislative initiatives, in order to allow staff the necessary flexibility to respond to legislative proposals and specific policy concerns that may arise over the course of the session. Our 2010 Legislative Program continues many of the themes from the previous legislative sessions and emphasizes issues of stabilizing and protecting existing transportation funds, funding flexibility, authorization of new transportation revenues, and streamlining of project delivery mechanisms. All of these are necessary, particularly at a time when transportation funds have dwindled due to California's state budget crisis and Congress continues to debate the format, content and timing of the next federal surface transportation act. Our legislative focus is to advocate for San Francisco priorities, support legislation that protects or increases funding for San Francisco projects, and encourage legislation that expedites project delivery. Our legislative program also continues to explore ways to address the need for stable funding for transit operations. We are seeking a recommendation to approve the 2010 State and Federal Legislative Program. 5. Internal Accounting Report and Investment Report for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2009 - INFORMATION* attachment The Authority's Fiscal Policy directs staff to give a quarterly report of expenditures including a comparison to the approved budget. The Authority's Investment Policy directs that a review of portfolio compliance be presented along with the quarterly report. The Internal Accounting Report for the six months ended December 31, 2009, is presented for information. 6. Introduction of New Items - INFORMATION 7. Public Comment 8. Adjournment
