Board hears proposal to hire transportation consultant at $100/hour to audit claims; members request references
Summary
The board reviewed a proposed two-year agreement with Transportation Residency Specialist LLC to audit and optimize the district's transportation claim. The vendor's rate was stated as $100 per hour with an initial on-site review estimated at about $1,200 and a 10% fee on any newly recovered revenue; board members asked for references and clarity about approval thresholds.
Mr. Glasman brought a proposed two-year consulting arrangement with Transportation Residency Specialist LLC to the board, describing the vendor's role as both an audit of the district's transportation claim and a consultant to help the district document practices so it can maximize eligible reimbursement. He told the board that "Their rate is $100 per hour" and that the initial on-site work would be roughly a day-and-a-half, or about $1,200, with the firm billing time back on the following year's claim.
Mr. Glasman explained the consultant would request 10% of any newly identified recoverable revenue: "If they found us $100,000 in additional revenue that we could claim, they would ask 10% of that back." Several members asked for references and for clarification about contracting authority because the contingency fee could make the district owe amounts above staff-level contract limits; Mr. Glasman said he would bring references and bring any recoveries back to the board for review.
