The City of Portland ordains:

Section 1. The Council finds:

  1. On July 20, 2020, by Ordinance No. 190055, City Council authorized a Subrecipient Grant Agreement to four partner organizations: Oregon Walks in the amount of $33,000, Community Cycling Center in the amount of $30,000, OPAL in the amount of $24,000, and Portland Community Reinvestment Initiatives in the amount of $15,000 for FY 2019/20, FY20/21 and FY21/22 for the SmartTrips, Connected Communities Transportation Demand Management program.
  1. On October 27, 2021, Metro, the grant administrator formally notified project managers that the three-year grant will be extended for an additional fourth year due to the pandemic. The additional year allows for continued work on existing transportation demand management projects and/or changes to programming in response to the pandemic.
  1. The grant order number is TR02940001.  The grant number is TR000294.

NOW, THEREFORE, The Council directs:

  1. The Commissioner-in-Charge is authorized to execute amendments to extend the term of the contracts through June 30, 2023, approved as to form by the City Attorney, attached as Exhibit A, B, C and D, to the scope of the services or the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided the changes do not increase the City’s financial risk.
     
  2. The OMF Grants Office is authorized to perform all administrative matters in relation to the grant application, grant agreement or amendments, requests for reimbursement from the grantor, and to submit required online grant documents on the Commissioner-in-Charge’s behalf.

Section 2. The Council declares that an emergency exists because a delay would unnecessarily delay the City’s ability to perform the activities authorized by the grant; therefore, this Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage by the Council.

An ordinance when passed by the Council shall be signed by the Auditor. It shall be carefully filed and preserved in the custody of the Auditor (City Charter Chapter 2 Article 1 Section 2-122)

Impact Statement

Budget Office Financial Impact Analysis

PBOT seeks to extend the date of contracts with four community organizations performing work as subrecipients of the Regional Transportation Options Grant. The contracts' completion date of June 31, 2021 will be updated to June 31, 2023. This new extended deadline is a result of pandemic related delays. The four subrecipients have been awarded $102,000 for a three-year period. The timeline is impacted from this change but not the award amount.
