Recommend the Award of a Consultant Contract to PBS&J, in the amount of $700,000, for the Congestion Pricing Feasibility Study – ACTION* (attachment) In January 2006, the Federal Highway Administration awarded the Authority a $1 million grant to conduct a Congestion Pricing Feasibility Study. In May, 2006, we issued a Request for Proposals for consultant services in transportation planning in parallel with other grant start-up activities. Consultant proposals were due to the Authority on July 5, and we received five responsive bids on that date. Based on a preliminary review and scoring of proposals, four firms were invited to interview in late July. In order to assist with the consultant selection, we assembled a review panel comprised of representatives from MTA, the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency and the Authority. Based on a competitive selection process, the panel recommends award of a consultant contract to PBS&J, in association with IBM and ECONorthwest, for transportation planning, public involvement and technical analysis. The CAC adopted a motion of support for the award of a contract to the top-ranked firm emerging from this competitive selection process at its July 26 meeting. We are seeking a recommendation to award a consultant contract to PBS&J, in the amount of $700,000 for the Congestion Pricing Feasibility Study. 4.
