ICE Worksheet Summary

This is an ICE (Inherent Complexity Evaluation) worksheet for the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in California related to the 2026 Transit Asset Management Plan Update project. The worksheet documents the evaluation and complexity assessment for a consulting services contract with a total budget of $250,000 and a contract term of thirteen (13) months. The project involves updating OCTA's transit asset management plan, which serves as a critical planning document for the organization's capital asset management and service delivery strategies.

The worksheet provides an internal evaluation framework used by OCTA to assess the inherent complexity of the consulting services required for this planning update. The evaluation considers factors relevant to determining appropriate procurement methods, contract management oversight levels, and consultant qualifications. As a planning and technical services project, the scope requires qualified consultants with expertise in transit asset management, data analysis, and strategic planning. The fixed budget allocation of $250,000 establishes clear financial parameters for the project execution within the specified thirteen-month timeline.
