Approval of Minutes of the January 30, 2007 Meeting - ACTION* (attachment) 3. Recommend an Increase to the Professional Services Contract with DMJM Harris, in an Amount Not to Exceed $96,856, for Planning and Preliminary Engineering Services to Develop the Yerba Buena Island Ramps Project Study Report, Contingent on Approval by the Treasure Island Development Authority Board (TIDA) of an Amended Interagency Agreement between the Authority and TIDA for the Additional Scope of Work and Related Expense – ACTION* (attachment) The Treasure Island Development Authority (TIDA) and the Mayor's Office requested that the Authority, as Congestion Management Agency for San Francisco , act as lead agency for the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)–required Project Study Report (PSR) for the replacement of the Bay Bridge connector ramps to Yerba Buena Island . On July 25, 2006, through Resolution #07-12, the Authority Board approved the award of a professional engineering services contract to DMJM Harris to provide the necessary consultant services to complete the PSR in a timely manner. While the original contract scope covered the work necessary to complete the Project Study Report, Caltrans is requiring that additional technical tasks be performed by DMJM Harris as part of the final PSR. TIDA has requested that the Authority amend its contract with DMJM Harris to include this additional scope of work, and is taking an agenda item to its Board in March 2007 to amend the interagency agreement with the Authority to reflect the added tasks and expense. We are seeking a recommendation to increase the professional services contract with DMJM Harris, in an amount not to exceed $96,856, for planning and preliminary engineering services to develop the Yerba Buena Island ramps Project Study Report, contingent on approval by the Treasure Island Development Authority Board of an amended interagency agreement between the Authority and TIDA for the additional scope of work and related expense. 4. Recommend Amendment of Section 5.2(b) of the Authority's Administrative Code to Establish the Second Tuesday of the Month as the Regular Meeting Day of the Finance Committee, Effective April 10, 2007 – ACTION* (attachment) Section 5 of the Authority's Administrative Code establishes that Tuesdays are the regular meeting days of the Authority Board and its Committees. Currently, the Plans and Programs Committee meets the second Tuesday of the month, while the Finance Committee and full Board meet the third Tuesday of the month. At its December 12, 2006 Board meeting, the Board requested that staff examine the possibility of having regularly scheduled Committee meetings on separate days from the full Board meeting. Pursuant to the Board's request, we are recommending an Amendment of Section 5.2(b) of the Authority's Administrative Code to Establish the Second Tuesday of the Month as the Regular Meeting Day of the Finance Committee, Effective April 10, 2007. 5.
