- Amendment to Siembab Corporation Contract with SBCCOG – attached
- A budget amendment to the Climate Action Plan (CAP) project funded by the Strategic Growth Council was anticipated from the beginning of the project as the initial budget was based on a best guess as to staffing needs. With 13 months of the 36 month contract remaining, the staffing needs to complete the project are now known. The major tasks remaining include working with the cities on the CAP for each, completing data analyses to support the city plans as well as the sub-regional plan, and finalizing the land use-transportation chapters for city and sub-regional CAPs. This amendment adds $100,000 to the Siembab Corporation contract for a total not to exceed $275,000.
- Amendment also includes a time extension request to December 31, 2016 for the MUD project makes the termination of the Siembab contract coincide with the termination of the SBCCOG contract with the CEC.
- Other staffing changes for this project include the Fehr and Peers contract not to exceed $65,000 previously approved to help with the carbon reduction calculations for strategies chosen by cities; on this agenda, a CAP consultant to help with city presentations and final chapter production, and at a future meeting, an economist to address the financial feasibility of some of the strategies.
