Issue:
Shall the City contract with MBTMA for general management services to the Electrowave Project?
Item Summarv/Recommendation:
This item is contingent upon approval of a previous item on this same Agenda, the FY 2003-04 EW
Budget, in the amount of $2.336 million. The waiving of competitive bidding requirement and authorizing
the City to contract with MBTMA for General Management Services for Administration and Operation of
the EW Service, at $165,000, is in the City's best interest for the following reasons:
1. MBTMA was created and funded by FOOT and City for the specific purpose of the EW service.
2. The MBTMA contract is $1 million cheaper than the amount quoted by the County to perform the same
services; in addition, the County refused to take full responsibility over the project; and
3. If the City were to hire an outside private contractor, other than MBTMA or County, the City would have
to hire additional City staff to perform all the financial, accounts payable, electronic filings, and satisfy
the extensive reporting requirements by City, FOOT and FT A, and other financial/fund reimbursement
duties presently performed by MBTMA, under this contract.
4. The Administration is satisfied that no other contractor could do as much for the project as MBTMA
does with the funds currently available for the project.
Under the terms of this contract, the City will transfer one fourth of the adopted budget funds to MBTMA, on
a quarterly basis; MBTMA will file quarterly administrative and financial report of expenditures, and return
all unused funds to the City, by closing of the contract year. Contracting with MBTMA as General Manager
has worked well for the last two years, and the Administration recommends aDDroval of the Resolution.
