COG awards travel‑demand model update contract to highest‑scoring proposer
Summary
Staff recommended and the council approved a professional‑services agreement for a Calaveras County travel‑demand model update; Farron Peers was the highest‑scoring proposer on six submissions and the contract is funded at $213,986.
Staff requested approval of a professional‑services agreement to update the Calaveras County travel‑demand model. Executive Director Roger said the COG received six proposals and that the work was funded at $213,986; a panel of city and county staff and the executive director scored the proposals and selected Farron Peers as the highest‑scoring proposer. "Baron peers was the highest scoring proposer," (sic) staff said during the presentation.
Board members discussed whether low‑risk, under‑grant‑amount procurement steps could be streamlined to avoid a month‑long delay between scoring and formal approval; staff said they will consider wording to authorize staff to proceed when grant amounts are at or below awarded funding and other conditions apply. A motion to approve the professional‑service agreement passed on a 7–0 vote.
Ending: The council approved the contract and asked staff to examine possible administrative streamlining for similar low‑risk procurements in the future.
