The <br />consultants currently under contract provide traffic engineering services <br />including traffic studies, the preparation of street striping, traffic <br />signal and construction zone traffic control plans. <br /> <br />Consultant services are needed to assist in implementing grant-funded <br />safety projects to meet grant deadlines. The City also expects to receive <br />grant funds for similar projects in the coming fiscal year. The increased <br />workload in the Public Works Traffic Engineering section will necessitate <br />the use of the services of outside firms. <br /> <br />The existing contracts with RBF Consultants, IBI Group, and FPL & <br />Associates for traffic engineering services expires on June 30, 2005. Due <br />to the experience of key personnel and competitive rates, it is <br />recommended that these firms be retained for the required services for an <br />addi tional year. Each consultant will be paid only for the services <br />performed, as requested by staff, and in accordance with the rates <br />submitted in their original proposals. <br /> <br />25F-1 <br />
