RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
Clerk of the Council to execute one year amendments to agreements with RBF
Consultants, IBI Group, and FPL & Associates for traffic engineering
services in an amount not to exceed $175,000 for each firm.
DISCUSSION
Consultant traffic engineering services are necessary to augment the
services provided by City staff to complete the current volume of traffic
engineering and street improvement projects in a timely manner. The
consultants currently under contract provide traffic engineering services
including traffic studies, the preparation of street striping, traffic
signal and construction zone traffic control plans.
Consultant services are needed to assist in implementing grant-funded
safety projects to meet grant deadlines. The City also expects to receive
grant funds for similar projects in the coming fiscal year. The increased
workload in the Public Works Traffic Engineering section will necessitate
the use of the services of outside firms.
The existing contracts with RBF Consultants, IBI Group, and FPL &
Associates for traffic engineering services expires on June 30, 2005. Due
to the experience of key personnel and competitive rates, it is
recommended that these firms be retained for the required services for an
addi tional year. Each consultant will be paid only for the services
performed, as requested by staff, and in accordance with the rates
submitted in their original proposals.
