Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached amendment to the <br />agreement with Cindy Krebs Consulting, Inc. to extend the term of the contract to April 30, 2013 in <br />the amount of $165,000 subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and <br />City Attorney. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Cities of Santa Ana and Garden Grove are working collaboratively with the Orange County <br />Transportation Authority (OCTA) on the Santa Ana-Garden Grove Fixed Guideway Project. Santa <br />Ana and OCTA have entered into two cooperative agreements for development of the project to <br />define their respective roles and responsibilities through Steps 2 and 3 of Measure M2's Go Local <br />Program. A Step 2 agreement for Environmental Analysis was executed in 2008 for an amount of <br />$5.9 million, and a Step 3 agreement for Preliminary Engineering was executed in 2011 for an <br />amount not to exceed $5.5 million, contingent on the project's acceptance into the Federal Transit <br />Administration's (FTA) Section 5309 New Starts/Small Starts Program. <br />In early 2010, OCTA directed the City of Santa Ana to prepare the project for FTA Section 5309 <br />New Starts/Small Starts grant funding because the project was considered to be a strong <br />candidate under this program. The FTA became actively involved in discussions with OCTA and <br />the Cities of Santa Ana and Garden Grove soon thereafter, and project deliverables were revised <br />and refined to satisfy the specific requirements of the FTA and submitted to the FTA for approval. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The City required professional assistance from a qualified consultant with extensive transit <br />background to take the Go Local Transit Vision from concept to completion. In 2009 the City <br />enlisted the services of Cindy Krebs Consulting Inc. (CKC) to work closely with the City's Project <br />25H-1
