Agenda Item: 34)
To: Mayor and City Council
From: David Martin, Director of Planning & Community Development
Subject: First Modification of the Professional Services Agreement with Kimley-
Horn Associates, Inc. for the Engineering and Traffic Survey
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and
execute a first modification to Professional Services Agreement #9752 (CCS) in the
amount of $9,625 with Kimley -Horn Associates, Inc., a North Carolina -based company,
to provide Average Daily Traffic counts at 77 locations for the Engineering and Traffic
Survey. This will result in a 2 year amended agreement with a new total amount not to
exceed $89,625.
Executive Summary
Kimley -Horn Associates, Inc. (KHA) has been performing professional services to
complete the update to the City's Engineering and Traffic Survey. In order to complete
the survey, Average Daily Traffic (ADT) count data must be collected at 77 locations
where current data is not available. The $9,625 modification would bring the total
contract amount to $89,625.
Background
On June 25, 2013 Council authorized a professional service agreement with KHA for
the completion of an Engineering and Traffic Survey to review and update speed limits
along 200 street segments in the City.
The State of California Vehicle Code Section 22358 allows local jurisdictions to use the
results of an Engineering and Traffic Survey to justify the establishment of speed limits
lower than 55 miles per hour on certain streets. The California Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) specifies that ADT count data must be collected for
1
each roadway segment that is analyzed. In order to complete the survey, ADT counts
must be collected at 77 locations where current data is not available.
Discussion
The City has provided all available ADT counts to KHA for use in the Engineering and
Traffic Survey, however data for all 200 segments is not currently available. The
California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) specifies that Average
Daily Traffic (ADT) data must be collected for each roadway segment that is analyzed.
This contract modification would allow KHA to collect the necessary ADT counts at 77
segments and complete the Engineering and Traffic Survey for an amount of $9,625.
Financial Impacts & Budget Actions
The agreement modification to be awarded to Kimley -Horn Associates, Inc. is $9,625,
for an amended agreement total not to exceed $89,625. Funds are available in the FY
2013 -14 Capital Improvement Program budget in account 0017072.589000.
