FILE NUMBER
Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute agreements with Transportation Studies,
Inc., and AimTD LLC, to provide traffic counting services for a one-year term beginning December 5, 2017,
and expiring December 4, 2018, with a provision for up to two one-year extensions exercisable by the City
Manager and the City Attorney, in an amount not to exceed $50,000 for each consultant, including any
extension periods, for an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000, subject to nonsubstantive changes
approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The City outsources annual traffic counting services to conduct counts for neighborhood studies,
pedestrian/bicycle counts, the bi-annual citywide traffic volume study, and the annual traffic signal and left -
turn signal priority studies. A new agreement is needed to continue providing these important services.
The scope of work for this agreement will also include data collection and speed surveys in support of the
speed hump program.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) for annual traffic counting services was posted on the City website on
Wednesday, October 4, 2017. Three consultants submitted proposals. The proposals were reviewed by a
three-member committee comprised of Public Works Agency staff. The ratings were based on experience,
qualifications, project understanding, scheduling, past performance, and the overall proposal. Once rated,
the bids of the firms were considered.
The RFP required each firm to submit their proposed fees for a given work scenario so that a comparison
could be made. The work scenario was for cost comparison purposes only and was not related to the
actual work that would be done. The proposal scores and scenario costs are as follows:

Based on ranking and cost, it is recommended that Transportation Studies, Inc., and AimTD LLC be
retained for an amount not to exceed $50,000 each, including any contract term extensions for traffic data
collection services. The consultant will be paid only for the services performed as requested by staff and in
accordance with the rates submitted in its proposal. The rates for both companies are very comparable.
Therefore, work orders will be alternated between the two firms to ensure prompt task completion. The
contracts will include an option to extend the agreement for two additional one-year terms for a total
maximum of three years.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #1 Community Safety, Objective #3 (promote
fiscal accountability to ensure financial responsibility at all levels of the organization), Strategy B (promote
ongoing efforts to obtain grant funding for activities that will assist in preventing, enforcing and reducing
criminal activity and traffic collisions).
FISCAL IMPACT
The total amount of each consultant agreement is not to exceed $50,000, for an aggregate amount of
$100,000. Funds are budgeted and available for expenditure in the Measure M2 Local Fairshare account
(No. 03217662-66220, Projects 17-6896 and 18-6897) according to the spending plan below. Any unspent
and encumbered balance will be carried forward into subsequent fiscal years for the optional two one-year
extensions as needed.
