Action on Request to Waive Administrative Policy 3.09(9)(e) and to Extend a Contract with Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin for Bicycle and Walking Safety Programs: Proposed Extension and Supporting Documents

File Attachment:
|
|
|
Background:
|
The Administration is requesting authorization to waive the three-year term limit of Administrative Policy 3.09(9)(e) and to extend the contract with the Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin to provide bicycle and walking safety programs.
The contract coordinator and staff will teach MPS children at MPS sites how to walk and bike safely within the school community. The coordinator will schedule and teach biking and walking units entitled “Walking Wisdom” and “Bike Driver’s Ed”, which includes both in-class and outdoor components and rides. The contractor will also coordinate the repair and maintenance of a fleet of used bikes through the Valid Bike Shop Program, which is currently located inside North Division High School.
Due to high population density, mixed-use zoning, and schools embedded in neighborhoods, Milwaukee has a good environment for increased walking and biking. The current program has already reached over 10,000 students and has shown a 14% increase in safety knowledge. There has been an increase in walking and biking by as much as 22% in some neighborhoods.
This waiver of Administrative Policy 3.09(9)(e) is being sought as a result of the three-year maximum contract term's being surpassed by exercising a first, one-year option to extend the contract due to the continuance of a grant obtained from the State of Wisconsin's Department of Transportation.
The contract extension will run from December 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019.
The funds previously authorized by the Board have not fully been expended; therefore, no additional funding is being requested.
