About this file

This is an Independent Cost Estimate (ICE) prepared by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for consultant services to evaluate the OC ACCESS paratransit service contract structure, key performance measurements, and associated incentives and penalties. The project, assigned Purchase Requisition No. 671, is classified as a new contract with a three-month term ending September 30, 2025. The requestor is Jack Garate, Department Manager. The scope of work requires consultant services to assess the paratransit service contract structure and related performance metrics, though specific deliverables, response dates, bidder meetings, and award dates are not detailed in this estimate document.

The total project budget is $53,556, with costs categorized under Materials/Services as "OC ACCESS Key Performance Indicators Evaluation." The cost estimate was substantiated using historical pricing data from three prior OCTA consultant contracts with similar scopes completed between 2019 and 2022, ranging from $42,983 to $54,545. The current estimate reflects a 9 percent adjustment for inflation using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) applied to the most comparable prior contract from 2022. No direct labor hours, overhead rates, travel, subcontractor costs, or other itemized cost elements are specified in the estimate breakdown, indicating the consultant fee is presented as a lump sum for the defined scope of work.
