5. RESOLUTION NO. ____________ - PERSONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT THE CITY\nOF LOS ANGELES HARBOR DEPARTMENT AND TETRA TECH, INC. FOR CLEAN\nTRUCK PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION SERVICES\nSummary: Staff requests that the Board of Harbor Commissioners approve a proposed\nAgreement with Tetra Tech, Inc. (Tetra Tech) of Pasadena, California to provide concession,\ngrant administration, and support services for the Clean Truck Program (CTP) at the Port of Los\nAngeles (Port). Tetra Tech was selected through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP)\nprocess conducted jointly by the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department)\nand the Port of Long Beach (POLB) to preserve synergies and significant cost savings that occur\nfrom having a single contractor serve both ports. POLB will enter into a separate agreement with\nTetra Tech with separate scope of work, compensation, and billing. This action will authorize an\nagreement with Tetra Tech for a three-year term and a not-to-exceed amount of $3,000,000.\nCTP expenditures are offset each year by CTP Concession Application Fees, Annual Truck Fees\nand Day Pass Fees which have averaged approximately $3.2 million per year over the most\nrecent five-year period from Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-2023. The Harbor Department will be\nfinancially responsible for the payment of expenditures incurred under the proposed Agreement.\nRecommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the Director of Environmental Management has\ndetermined that the proposed action is administratively exempt from the requirements of the\nCalifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article II, Section 2(f) of the Los Angeles\nCity CEQA Guidelines; (2) find that, in accordance with the City Charter Section 1022, work\nunder the subject Agreement can be performed more feasibly by an independent consultant than\nby City of Los Angeles employees; (3) approve the Agreement with Tetra Tech, Inc. for a term\nof three years and a total amount not-to-exceed $3,000,000 (4) authorize the Executive Director\nto execute and the Board Secretary to attest to said Agreement for and on behalf of the Board;\nand (5) adopt Resolution No.____________.\nEnvironmental Management
