Transmittal 1
Summary: Staff requests the Board of Harbor Commissioners’ approval of the First Amendment to Agreement No. 16-3448 with Productivity Apex, Inc. (PAI), for a term extension of one year, and to modify PAI’s labor categories and rates. In January 2017, the Harbor Department executed a three-year agreement with PAI to develop and demonstrate the California Energy Commission (CEC) Eco-FRATIS Drayage Truck Efficiency Project (Project). The Eco-FRATIS Project and PAI agreement is funded entirely with CEC and Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (METRO) funds in the combined amount of $1,210,000, which will not change as a result of this requested amendment. In addition, staff is requesting approval for the delegation of authority to the Executive Director to execute future amendments in order to implement any Letter Agreements issued by the CEC which approve “Nonsignificant Changes” (as defined in the CEC Grant Agreement term and conditions) to the Project. The Harbor Department’s financial responsibility continues to be limited to staff time to manage the Project as PAI invoices will be paid only after grant funds are received on an on-going basis.
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the Director of Environmental Management has determined that the proposed action is administratively exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Article II, Section 2(f) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines; (2) approve the first amendment to Agreement No. 16-3448 with Productivity Apex, Inc. to extend the term from its current expiration of January 20, 2020 to January 20, 2021, replace Exhibit B of Exhibit A in its entirety and to delegate authority to the Executive Director to execute amendments in order to implement Letter Agreements as issued and approved by the CEC, and agreed upon in writing with PAI; (3) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board Secretary to attest to said agreement amendment and on behalf of the Board; (4) direct the Board Secretary to transmit the Resolution and First Amendment to the City Council for approval pursuant to Section 373 of the City Charter and Section 10.5 of the City Administrative Code; and (5) adopt Resolution No.____________.
