Purpose and Recommended Action
Recommendation
This is a request for City Council to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into Change Order No. 1 to an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the City of Phoenix, Contract No. C-8844, for an increase in the amount of reimbursable funding from a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant.
body
Background
In 2014, the city entered into an IGA with the City of Phoenix for a Grant Pass-through Agreement for reimbursable funding for the Taxi Voucher Program and GUS 3 service. The total amount for the Taxi Voucher Program operating assistance was $74,806 with a required local match of $37,302. The total amount for GUS 3 operating assistance was $55,718 with a required local match of $27,859. All of the operating assistance funds for both those projects have been expended and the associated reimbursements have been received from the City of Phoenix.
Analysis
The City of Phoenix is the designated recipient for all FTA funds in the region. There were additional unspent funds within the region in FTA Grant AZ-16-X002, so the City of Phoenix contacted Glendale staff to inquire if Glendale could use additional operating assistance for GUS 3 service. This Change Order will provide an additional $12,641 federal reimbursement of operating costs after a local match of $12,641, and will extend the expiration of the IGA to June 30, 2017.
Previous Related Council Action
