Thank you. Back to item five of the consent calendar. Item Pfizer Report from Development Services Financial Management Recommendation two What the contract to KLA Corporation for Downtown Long Beach Area Parking study for total contract amount not to exceed $269,000 one and two. Councilmember Gonzalez Yes, I just had questions. We didn't you know, this item was really light. It didn't really include a lot of information. I know this is relative to the TAPS group. So can we get a staff report on this item and some more context around what exactly the boundaries, the scope of work, etc., please? Amy Bodak. Mr. Mayor. Members of the city council. Good morning. With this is a scope of work that was reviewed as part of the settlement agreement between TAPS and the city of Long Beach for three downtown projects. The settlement agreement was very specific on what the survey areas would be in the scope of work, and an RFP was drafted that was reviewed by TAPS and their attorney as part of the settlement agreement. We went through an RFP process and interviewed firms. We shared the the proposals with TAPS. We met with TAPS in accordance with the settlement agreement to get their comments on their preferred vendor as well. And we selected Chloé to do this study. It includes downtown Long Beach, but also Alamitos Beach. There are two slightly different scopes of work related to the contract, and there's a certain timeframe that we are committing to to implement this this parking RFP study. Okay. Thank you. Was there ever a it was there a two from four that came out with this information? At all or I know it was. There was an RFP and there was through that process. This settlement agreement did go to the city council. I believe in closed session. And within the settlement agreement was the entire scope of work. Okay. And. Okay. That is all the information that I have. At this time. Thank you. Sure. Any public comment on the item saying that? Please cast your votes. Yes. Vice Mayor Richardson wishing Karis. Out of nine, please. I'm 18. It's yours.
