TERMINATE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH TOTEM, LLC.
Submitted for:	Martha Palacios	Submitted By:	Martha Palacios
Department:	Engineering

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to terminate professional services agreement with Totem, LLC., for project management services relating to the County Transportation Infrastructure Fund Program (C.T.I.F.).

Issue: It has been determined that the project management services provided by the professional services contract with Totem, LLC are not necessary to successfully move forward with the County Transportation Infrastructure Fund Program. Plans, Specifications, and Engineering (PS&E) Services are already being completed by a professional engineering company and the grant management and administrative functions previously provided by Totem can be completed internally by county departments.

Solution: Terminate contract with Totem, LLC that included grant management and administrative functions.

Result: Funds saved will be allocated to project implementation costs rather than administrative expenses under the County Transportation Infrastructure Fund Program.
