DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Community Development Services (CDS), Department of Transportation, recommending the Board approve Agreement for Services 2953 (Agreement) with Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. of Sacramento (EPS), in the not-to-exceed amount of $192,446, for the completion of the Missouri Flat Area Master Circulation and Funding Plan (MC&FP) Phase II Study, for a three-year period with an effective date of May 8, 2018, expiring on May 8, 2021, subject to review and approval by County Counsel and Risk Management.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Missouri Flat Area has historically experienced high levels of traffic congestion due to its central location and existing commercial development. Phase I of the MC&FP was established in 1998 to provide a funding mechanism, through a sales and property tax increment, to address existing road deficiencies within the Missouri Flat Road corridor. The ultimate goal of the MC&FP was to encourage economic development in the commercial area surrounding the Missouri Flat Road and U.S. Highway 50 Interchange (Project Area). MC&FP Phase I has been a successful program that facilitated construction of focused roadway improvements which enabled the development of +/- 500,000 square feet of retail businesses that generates approximately $1,000,000 in sales tax per year. For a complete history of the MC&FP, refer to Attachment 3B of Legistar 15-0048 (See Related Files).
