CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM NO. 2016-03 TO: Mayor Moore Wolfe City Council FROM: Tim Gleason, City Manager DATE: January 19, 2016 SUBJECT: Consulting Services Agreement for Transportation Improvement On the Agenda for the January 19, 2016 Council meeting is a Resolution seeking adoption of a Consulting Services Agreement with Ann L. Schneider LLC to provide services related to the City's transportation goals. The Agreement will specifically require the consultant to advise the City on effectively accomplishing the transportation improvement goals of the City as well as Macon County on various projects including the Southeast Beltway, seek federal and state funding opportunities for the various projects and coordinate and package those opportunities and requests, coordinate and intervene as needed for the various projects and tasks, assist in developing and advising a Decatur Macon County Freight Advisory Council, advise the City on resolving transportation issue and assist in building consensus with involved and affected parties on our transportation goals. The Agreement is a one (1) year Agreement with an additional year automatic renewal period with an annual cost of Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000.00) per year. It also provides for payment of extraordinary costs and expenses if the City approves. Macon County is considering, or as of the date of our Council meeting may have already considered, the payment of one-half of these costs. A Resolution approving an Intergovernmental Agreement with Macon County is also on the Agenda for the Council meeting on January 19, 2016. I believe that this Agreement will provide great service in moving our transportation related goals ahead and recommend approval.
