Summary: Staff requests approval of the First Amendment to Agreement No. 17-3542 with Status Not Quo (SNQ) for as-needed website design and development (Transmittal 1), mobile design and development, hosting and related support services for all Port of Los Angeles-branded websites. The amendment assigns Agreement 17-3542 to Faye Business Systems Group, Inc. (FayeBSG) and extends the term of the agreement by two years through December 22, 2022, increasing the compensation by $400,000 from $900,000 to a new total amount not-to-exceed $1,300,000 for the duration of the five-year agreement. The City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) is financially responsible for payment of expenses under the proposed agreement.
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the Director of Environmental Management had determined that the proposed action is administratively exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article II Section 2(f) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines; (2) find that in accordance with Los Angeles City Charter Section 1022, it is more feasible for outside contractors to perform this work than City employees; (3) approve the First Amendment to Agreement No. 17-3542 with Status Not Quo, assigning it to Faye Business Group, Inc., and extending the three-year term to a total of five (5) years with $400,000 additional compensation for a not-to-exceed total of $1,300,000 for the entire five-year term; (4) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board Secretary to attest to the First Amendment to Agreement No. 17-3542; (5) direct the Board Secretary to transmit the Resolution and First Amendment to Agreement No. 17-3542 to the City Council for approval pursuant to City Charter Section 373 and Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 10.5; and (6) adopt Resolution No.____________.

Environmental Management
Transmittal 1
Summary: Staff requests consideration of the Addendum to the Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Terminal Island Railyard Enhancement Project (Project), and for the Addendum to be received and filed. The Addendum modifies the project description by moving the project boundary to the north, relocating a portion of the Pier 400 lead track from the Port of Long Beach (POLB) property onto Port of Los Angeles (POLA) property, and adding the POLB as a Responsible Agency. While the proposed action is administrative in nature and does not authorize any expenditures related to the Project, staff currently expects total Project spending of $49,825,000 of which $21,645,000 will be grant-funded. Remaining costs of $28,180,000 will be the financial responsibility of the Harbor Department. No significant environmental impacts are expected from these project modifications.
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) consider the Addendum to the previously adopted Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Terminal Island Railyard Enhancement Project; (2) receive and file the Addendum; and (3) adopt Resolution No.____________.
