AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: July 1, 1997

Amendment to Agreement with TJKM for Traffic Engineering
Services (Adjustment of Rates and Extension of Contract Term)

Current Agreement and Most Recent Amendment
Letter from Chris Kinzel dated June 11, 1997
Resolution and Proposed Amendment
Comparison of current and proposed rates by employee
utilization hours
RECOMMENDATION: ~ Adopt resolution approving amendment to agreement
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
The proposed rate adjustment would increase the overall fees by
approximately 1.61 % net based on the assumption of the same
proportional hours spent by the various classes of employees as were
spent for the first eleven months of 1996-97.
DESCRIPTION: TJKM Transportation Consultants has provided traffic engineering
services to the City since 1983, first as a subcontractor to Santina and Thompson, and then as a direct
contract beginning in 1985. The current agreement with TJKM expires at the end of the 1996-97 fiscal
year. The terms of the agreement provide that TJKM may submit a rate adjustment request for City
Council approval on an annual basis.
According to TJKM staff, their new rate schedule is more in conformance with the rate schedules provided
to other clients. The net effect of the request for both the change in rates and the change in the discount
rates combined is a net 1.61% increase, based on projecting staff hours from 1996-97 (see Exhibit 4). The
percentage of increase indicated applies to the weighted average rates that would be charged to the City,
not the standard rates. TJKM is not proposing any other changes to the contract.
Since the San Francisco Bay Area Consumer Price Index percentage of increase is estimated to be about
3.5%, Stafffeels that this rate adjustment is reasonable. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the
resolution approving the amendment to the agreement with TJKM.

Subject:
City of Dublin Contract Review and Fiscal Year 1997-1998 Proposal
This memorandum provides information about the traffic engineering services TJKM provid~s to
the City of Dublin.
1. Contract Compliance
TJKM Assignments and Duties
.
The administrative duties for which TJKM has participated in include the review of routine citizen
request<l, requests from the City coUncil for traffic control changes, traffic impact analyses for
proposed new development. review of site plans for proposed development, signal timing studies,
planning of road network improvements, speed surveys, and investigation of school related traffic
safety issues. See Table I (attached) for a list of specific projects.
We believe we have provided these services in a "prompt, professional and workmanlike manner
in accordance with the standards of the engineering profession."
TJKM Staffing
TJKM staffIng for the City of Dublin traffic engineering services has been as follows: Associate
Christopher S. Klnzel, P.E. has attended the City Traffic Safety Committee meetings and has
directed most of the traffic investigations assigned by the committee, City Engineer or the City
Manager. Junior engineers have assisted as needed.
They were supervised by Principal Chris D. Kinzel who is a registered Professional Engineer.
Chris Kinzel provided general review and coordination of all Dublin traffic engineering efforts.
Associate John Gildea assisted with signal timing and operations.
.
Other TJKM members are assigned as needed to assist the four primary Dublin team members,
particularly in the area of field data collection. The TJKM goal continues to be to provide quality
traffic engineering services to the City of Dublin at the lowest possible job classification level,
while providing appropriate review and supervision.

Mr. Lee Thompson, Public Works Director
City of Dublin Traffic Engineering Services
Page 2
June 24, 1997
The hours and dollar values of TJKM's services to the City of Dublin increased this year due .
primarily to an upturn in the economy and more activity from the development community.
2. Availability
Traffic engineering services are provided to the City of Dublin from TJKM's corporate
headquarters in northern PJeasanton, a couple of miles from the Dublin City HalL We feel we
have been available as needed and requested by tb~ City staff.
3. Responsiveness
Generally, other than safety-related items, traffic engineering matters do not require immediate
response. We [eel our overall responsiveness has been acceptable in the past year, but are always
looking for ways to improve it. We are currently expanding our staff in order to provide
improved service to our clients. .
4. Cost Effectiveness
During the fiscal year to dale, TJK.M has invested a total of 489.0 hours on Dublin general study
projects and invoiced a total of $41,315. Dividing the total billings and the total hours, the
average hourly rate was $84.48. This figure is higher than recent years, reflective of the fact that
the City has requested TlKM to provide more services involving of senior staff. City growth has
been the driving force behind these requests.
.
Table II shows the billings by TJKM: job classification, and Table nI lists the TJKM billings for
the past two fiscal years by work category.
Also shown in Table ill are the estimates for the final Fiscal Year 1996-1997 billings and the
1995-96 budget. The budget for next fiscal year is assumed to be $36,000 for general traffic
engineering. The expected tasks include intersection monitoring, updates of Engineering and
Traffic surveys as needed to permit radar speed enforcement, assistance with the Contra Costa
County Traffic Impact Fee, and STOP sign/signal warrant requests. The budget includes
miscellaneous costs for supplies, and contracted services such as traffic control, etc.
5. Proposal
TJKM proposes to continue offering transportation engineering services to the City of Dublin
during the City's 1997-98 Fiscal Year (FY) of July I, 1997 to June 3D, 1998.
Hourlv Rates
The proposed hourly rates for FY 1997-98 are indicated in Table IV. The proposed rates
constitute a 3 percent increase over last year's rates, which is in keeping with inflation trends. The
proposed full rates would apply to any capital improvement project or project funded by private
developers. The proposed reduced rates would apply to all other traffic engineering services
provided by TJKM. Reduced rates are 85 percent of the proposed full rates.

June 24, 1997
Insurance Requirements
TJKM requires no insurance subsidy from the City of Dublin. Our errors and omission insurance
limits are $1,000,000.
Continued Service
We have appreciated the opportunity to conduct traffic reviews of proposed development in the
City of Dublin. We feel we have been able to contribute positive comments resulting in improved
access to public streets, circulation, and parking within the development. We hope to continue in
this role.
We continue to be sensitive to the issue of conflict of interest or a perception of conflict. TJKM
has extensive involvement with many public and private entities in the Tri-Valley, hopefully to the
advantage of the City of Dublin. We appreciate the City's flexibility in this area.
TJKM is very pleased to be providing traffic engineering service to the City of Dublin and hopes
to continue providing such services as long as the City desires. The advantages of utilizing
TJKM's consulting services include the availability of a variety of experienced senior
transportation professionals to handle peak loads.
