An exemption from advertising in the California State Contracts Register is not an exemption from Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation goal attainment.

EXEMPTION JUSTIFICATION iAttach additional sheets ii necessa,y)

The California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) needs the expertise provided by Kadesh & Associates, LLC and Peyser Associates, LLC (hereinafter, "the Contractor") in order to secure federal funding for the High-Speed Rail Project. Activity on major legislation directly affecting the Project is accelerating in Washington, D.C. The Contractor has ciment and past experience in high-speed rail, passenger rail and transportation services. The Contractor will be able to engage unique contacts, interactions, and policy discussions to benefit the Authority.

The Contractor has worked with leadership of the conunittees of jurisdiction in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate for many years prior to their curr�nt leadership positions. They have excellent relationships with committee staff.and would therefore be able to work with Congress on behalf of the Authority to manage necessary federal legislation. Due to the Contractor's in-depth knowledge of the Authority's issues, combined with the work already performed for the Authority under a contract with the California State Transportation Agency, it would be daunting to get another firm up to speed, making it crucial the Authority maintain what the Contractor has already established at the federal level.

Due to the urgent nature of the services, as well as the specialized nature of the consulting, the Authority is requesting exemption from advertising pursuant to PCC § 10348. Forgoing the competitive process will be in the best interest of the state because without the consulting services available in Washington, D.C. during this legislative period, decisions could be made detrimental to the funding of the Project.
