The Technical Support Consultant will <br />provide services to the Northstar Project Management Team (PMT) and prepare the <br />advanced and final design of the LRT connection. At the October 7 meeting, the NCDA <br />delegated to the Executive Committee the authority to select a consulting team for contract <br />negotiations. At its November 23,2004 meeting, the NCDA Executive Committee/Capital <br />budget Committee authorized staff to begin contract negotiations with L TK Engineering <br />Services to establish the scope of services and a fair and reasonable contract amount. <br /> <br />The RFP included a proposed contract maximum of $3,000,000 which is within the <br />approved 2005 NCDA Budget. While the proposal received from L TK Engineering Services <br />fell within the contract maximum, it was determined through negotiations that a contingency <br />amount of $100,000 would be appropriate. Therefore, a contract for all of the work and <br />services described in the RFP has been negotiated with L TK Engineering Services in the <br />amount of $3,098,927, which amount is within the approved 2005 NCDA Budget for <br />Advanced Engineering. <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the NCDA enter into a contract with L TK Engineering Services, Inc. <br />for technical support services for the Northstar Commuter rail project including the LRT <br />connection for a contract amount not to exceed $3,098,927 which includes a $100,000 <br />contingency and a term of January 1, 2005 though June 1, 2006. <br /> <br />Action Requested: That the Executive Committee I Capital Budget Committee make a <br />recommendation to the NCDA that the NCDA authorize the Chair to <br />execute an agreement with L TK Engineering Services, Inc. for a <br />contract amount of $3,098,927 which includes a $100,000 contingency <br />and a term of January 1, 2005 through June 1, 2006. <br /> <br />Northstar Corridor Depelopmellt Authority <br />2100 3'1 Avenue.
