Appropriation Adjustment and Agreements for <br />Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program <br />November 21, 2017 <br />Page 2 <br />An RFP for education services was released and distributed on September 29, 2017, to qualified <br />pedestrian and bicycle education organizations. Proposals were due October 18, 2017. While the City <br />only received one proposal, that proposal is a partnership from multiple local organizations <br />(NeighborWorks, Santa Ana Active Streets, Bicycle Tree, KidWorks, and Latino Health Access) <br />collaborating on a single proposal. Due to the unique nature of the work, staff does not believe that a new <br />RFP process would result in additional proposals from other qualified organizations and that would only <br />further delay providing these necessary safety programs. Therefore, staff recommends that <br />NeighborWorks Orange County be retained to provide education services for an amount not to exceed <br />$75,000. Based on local community experience, qualifications, project understanding, and familiarity with <br />the grant source, this organization has demonstrated they have the experience and resources needed to <br />successfully provide the required services. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #1 - Community Safety, Objective #3 <br />(promote fiscal accountability to ensure financial responsibility at all levels of the organization), Strategy B <br />(promote ongoing efforts to obtain grant funding for activities that will assist in preventing, enforcing and <br />reducing criminal activity and traffic collisions). <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Upon approval of the recommended appropriation adjustment, $75,000 of grant funds will be recognized <br />into the OTS -PWA Traffic Safety Grants Fund revenue account (No. 16517002-52001) and appropriated <br />into the OTS -Bicycle Safety PWA Fund expenditure account (No. 16517611-66220, Project No. 18-6884). <br />Funds will be available for expenditure as follows: <br />Fred Mousavipou <br />Executive Director <br />Public Works Agency <br />FM/EW G/CW <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />nVs S.. 34 Its —� <br />Francisco Gutierrez k,k.�, <br />Executive Director <br />Finance & Management Services Agency <br />Exhibits: 1.
