Notes
This Commission agenda memorandum requests authorization for the Executive Director to amend the existing SAMP Environmental Review personal services agreement with Landrum & Brown, increasing the contract by $3,400,000 for a new total of $6,400,000. The additional funding is needed to complete NEPA and SEPA environmental review documentation due to a two-year planning extension, expanded public engagement, additional technical analyses, and the decision to prepare separate NEPA and SEPA documents. The memo outlines four primary reasons for the cost increase and notes the contract’s Small Contractors and Suppliers utilization rate exceeds the required seven percent.
