C-TRAN is seeking authority for its Chief Executive Officer to extend an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) for the Special Transportation Planning Study Agreement (GCB 3606). The extension would allow continued reimbursement of costs associated with C-TRAN staff support for the I-5 Bridge Replacement Program (IBR) through June 30, 2027. This confirms that C-TRAN will stay heavily engaged in planning and technical work related to the IBR for at least another year.While the IGA itself is limited to staff reimbursement, the ongoing bi-state mega-project planning creates needs for modeling, environmental, transit integration, stakeholder engagement, and future design and implementation services that vendors can position around as the program advances from planning to delivery.

This is an intergovernmental agreement, not a vendor contract, but it signals extended C-TRAN involvement in the I-5 Bridge Replacement Program and associated transportation planning activities.

Budget Planning

The Board budgeted up to $25,000 for professional services for policy governance, plus conference and workshop attendance. This is a small but concrete professional-services spending line tied to board development and governance support. The source does not name a vendor or scope beyond policy governance, so it is still a planning signal. A seller should track whether the District solicits a consultant, trainer, or facilitator.
