Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to amend an agreement with <br />Nelson \Nygaard Consulting Associates, Inc., subject to nonsubstantive changes approved by <br />the City Manager and City Attorney, to provide additional transportation /traffic planning and <br />engineering services in the amount of $80,000 for a revised total amount not to exceed <br />$360,000. <br />2. Approve an appropriation adjustment recognizing an additional $80,000 in Residential Street <br />Improvement revenue and appropriating the same amount into the Residential Street <br />Improvement expenditure account. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Addressing the safety of our transportation system has been identified as a priority and immediate <br />necessity for the City of Santa Ana. To advance this objective, on April 7, 2015, the City Council <br />approved an agreement with Nelson \Nygaard Consulting Associates, Inc., (Nelson \Nygaard) for <br />the Safe Mobility Santa Ana study to evaluate citywide traffic safety. The Scope of Work focused <br />on identifying engineering solutions to collision patterns with location -based enforcement <br />recommendations and education outreach best practices. <br />As the consultant worked with staff to analyze the collision data, it became clear that the <br />enforcement and education analysis needed to be expanded. The additional Scope of Work tasks <br />include an assessment of the operations and staffing levels of the Santa Ana Police Department <br />Traffic Division and development of a robust education outreach strategy tailored specifically to the <br />types of collisions that are occurring in the city. Staff recommends amending the agreement with <br />Nelson \Nygaard to include these additional Scope of Work tasks that will result in a more <br />comprehensive safety plan for the City of Santa Ana. <br />20A -1 <br />
