1.                   Roll Call

2.                  Approval of Minutes of the July 17, 2007 Meeting - ACTION* (attachment)

3.                  Recommend Increasing the Amount of the Professional Services Contract with Arup/PB Joint Venture by $8,333,300 to a Total Amount of $12,583,200, to Advance Design of the Doyle Drive Replacement Project to the 35% Design Level - ACTION* (attachment)

The Authority is working in partnership with Caltrans to implement the Doyle Drive Replacement Project. In January 2007, the Authority awarded a General Engineering and Design Consultant (GEC) task order contract to the Arup/PB Joint Venture, with a budget of $4,250,000 for initial task orders.  The design team is now ready to proceed with additional work to advance the project to the 35% design level.  Contingent on the approval of the associated Prop K project appropriation, we are seeking a recommendation to increase the amount of the professional services contract with Arup/PB Joint Venture by $8,333,200 to a total amount of $12,583,200 in order to advance design of the Doyle Drive Replacement Project to 35% design.

4.                  Recommend Increasing the Amount of the Professional Services Contract with Nelson\Nygaard by $166,281 to a Total Amount of $566, 281, for Additional On-Call Planning Services, and to Extend the Term of the Contract to August 9, 2008  - ACTION* (attachment)

The Authority has contracted with Nelson\Nygaard to provide on-call planning services.   Within an overall annual work program, task orders have been executed for specific planning tasks.  To date, on-call planning assistance has been used for neighborhood planning studies across San Francisco, resulting in the development of a stream of grant-ready projects.  The term extension and added scope would allow for additional planning services related to the Geary Corridor Bicycle Network and the Columbus Avenue Transportation Plan.  We are seeking a recommendation to increase the amount of the professional services contract with Nelson\Nygaard by $166,281 to a total contract amount of $566,281, and to extend the term of the contract to August 9, 2008.
