FINANCIAL STATEMENT: See below.
DESCRIPTION:
Traffic Engineering services are provided by the firm of TJKM. Originally,
TJKM functioned as a subcontractor under the Santina and Thompson agreement.
In 1985, the City entered into a separate agreement with both Santina and
Thompson and TJKM.
Chris Kinzel has prepared a self-evaluation of his firm's performance. The
staff report will highlight pertinent sections of the information. In
addition, the existing contract and an amendment covering the new rate
schedule is attached for review.
Outline of Services Provided
TJKM provides traffic engineering services generally in the areas of private
development review, Capital Improvement design and construction review. In
addition, they perform traffic engineering studies as a result of citizen or
City requests. These functions have been performed in a timely and
professional manner.
Approximately 35 studies have been made this year as a result of Staff or
resident requests. Some of the more notable ones were the stop sign study on
Silvergate Drive at Rolling Hills Drive, the stop sign studies for Stagecoach
Road, and the annual traffic accident analysis and safety recommendations.
Exhibit 5 presents a complete list of the studies. More complicated traffic
studies have been performed on private developments such as the Hansen Ranch
and Blaylock/Gleason/Fletcher (Donlan Canyon) properties. Also, a general
traffic study on the proposed Eden Canyon development will be completed as
part of a contract for the environmental report. It is anticipated that this
study will need to evaluate additional freeway access. TJKM also reviews and
makes changes to signal timing as needed.
A representative of TJKM attends meetings of the Traffic Safety Committee and
performs necessary studies and makes recommendations. This Committee is made
up of the Public Works Director, Maintenance Superintendent, a member of
TJKM' s staff, and one or two representatives of Dublin Police Services. It
has been reasonably effective in responding to requests as well as bringing
traffic problems to light and solving them.
Cost Effectiveness
TJKM continues to charge the City at a reduced (80%) hourly rate for general
traffic studies. This reduced rate work amounted to 57% of TJKM's charges
for the 1988 calendar year. The remaining 43% was expended on capital
projects and private development review.

ITEM NO. 7 9,?.,� COPIES TO: Chris Kinzel, TJKM
A breakdown of TJKM's billings by fiscal year is as follows:
Estimated Budget
1986-87 1987-88 1988-89 1989-90
General Traffic Engineering $42,986 $46,023 $35,000 $48,000
Private Development Review 9,491 12,616 23,600 6,500
Capital Projects 43,377 39,364 4,000 25,000
Total $95,854 $98,003 $62,600 $71,500
The total engineering fees vary, based mostly on the Capital Improvement
Program devoted to traffic signals and related improvements and on the
private development review workload.
1989-90 General Engineering
This year, the City must update its traffic speed surveys, as the Vehicle
Code requires that speed surveys be performed at least every five years in
order to enforce speeds with radar. The surveys will cover all arterial
streets as well residential streets that are over 40 feet in width. TJKM
will prepare recommendations for the speed limits on all these streets based
on the 85th percentile speeds and other environmental factors. This report
will be presented to the City Council for reconfirmation of or revisions to
the existing speed limits. This update represents approximately $8,000 of
the funds budgeted for general traffic engineering services.
Significant 1989-90 Capital Projects
One Capital Improvement study for this fiscal year (that should be finished
in July) is the traffic impact infrastructure fee study. Once the Planning
Department has completed their inventory of potential land use densities, the
traffic projections can be completed.
Other Capital Improvement projects that TJKM will be working on in 1989-90
are:
1) Completion of the Infrastructure Impact Study.
2) San Ramon Road Phase IV.
3) Dublin Boulevard Improvements (Donlon Way to Village Parkway) .
4) Traffic Signal Pre-emption for Emergency Vehicles.
5) Preliminary design of two signals on Village Parkway.
The provision of these services impacts the proposed 1989-90 budget shown
above.
Proposed Agreement
Mr. Kinzel has requested hourly rate increases of a weighted average 4.7%
(based on breakdown of hours spent by classification in 1988-89) over current
rates. The attachment to Mr. Kinzel's letter identifies these proposed rate
changes. Staff has attached an additional comparison of these increases by
classification.
Areas to Improve
Mr. Kinzel offers some suggestions in his self-evaluation for improvement of
services.
1) "Traffic signal timing and operation is now based on incidents. "
Monitoring of the FETSIM program by TJKM will help to resolve rignal timing
problems. As to operations, the County personnel do a very good job of
regular functional monitoring of the signals.
2) "Improvements could be made in plan review. " Staff has also had TJKM
review detour striping of projects such as San Ramon Road Phase III and also
the proposed permanent striping after it has been laid out ("cat-tracked")
and prior to the final striping being placed.
TJKM has designed the signal work in the San Ramon Road Phase IV project and
will be asked to do the same reviews as those made for the San Ramon Road
Phase III project.
2 -
This year, Staff has tried to have more planning application matters referred
to TJYJ4 for input on traffic safety issues in these submittals.
Mr. Kinzel points out in his self-evaluation that it may be time for the City
to consider hiring a full-time in-house traffic engineer; however, Staff
feels that the contract with TJKM remains more cost-effective at this point.
TJKM can provide up to 20 levels of Staff expertise depending on need. They
are familiar with ongoing Valley traffic patterns and volumes due to services
provided to other clients, which benefits the City in addressing long-range
needs. In addition, the City's traffic engineering needs are still
fluctuating from year to year. Therefore, continuation of the TJKM contract
is a better solution for supplying traffic engineering services from a
functional and cost/benefit standpoint.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council review the written and oral reports,
provide input, and authorize the Mayor to execute the amendment to the
agreement.

MEMORANDUM �UB WORKS
DATE: April 4, 1989
TO: Lee Thompson, City Engineer
FROM: Chris D. Kinzel
SUBJECT: City of Dublin Contract Review and Proposal
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide you information regarding the
traffic engineering services TJKM provides to the City of Dublin. As requested,
the first section of this memo deals with our self-assessment of TJKM performance
for-the past year.
1. Contract Compliance
The administrative duties, development review duties and capital
projects for which TJKM has been involved range from the review of
routine citizen requests, requests from the City council for traffic
control changes, new traffic signal designs, traffic impact analyses for
proposed new development, review of site plans for proposed
development, signal timing studies, and investigation of school related
traffic safety issues. See attachment 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".
During this past year, TJKM has continued to participate in the City
Traffic Committee which meets twice monthly and is attended by
representatives of the City Engineer's Office, maintenance, TJKM, and
the Police Department. The committee allows a high level of
coordination of traffic engineering and traffic safety issues among the
affected departments and in the coordination of the staff position of
the various City departments for those items that appear on the agenda
of the City Council. At this meeting, many routine items are resolved
and other more complex issues are designated for further study with the
knowledge of all parties.
During the past year, staffing of TJKM work for the City of Dublin
has been fairly consistent. Senior Engineer Michelle DeRobertis attends
the City Traffic Committee meetings and handles and coordinates all
traffic investigations assigned by the committee, the City Engineer or
the City Manager. Michelle also conducts most of the traffic impact
evaluations for proposed development within the City of Dublin. She is
supervised by Principal Associate Ty Tekawa who attends meetings in
Michelle's absence and provides general review and also coordinates all
4637 Chabot Drive, Suite 214, Pleasanton,California 94566-(415)4E'
PLEASANTON-SACRAMENTO-FRESNO-CONCORD
Lee Thompson -2- April 4, 1989
traffic engineering design functions including traffic signals and
signing and striping design or review. John Gildea coordinates signal
timing and operations. Chris Kinzel attends most Council meetings, and
provides overall direction to other TJKM staff members.
Other TJKM members are assigned as needed to assist these three,
particularly in the area of design and in gathering of field data. Much
of the design work is accomplished at the Assistant Traffic Engineer or
Traffic Engineer level. The TJKM goal continues to be to provide
traffic engineering services to the City of Dublin at the lowest possible
classification level, while providing appropriate review and supervision.
2. Availability
TJKM maintains its offices in northern Pleasanton, not far from Dublin
City Hall. Generally, we feel we have been available as needed to
provide traffic engineering services. Given the relatively large TJKM
office in Pleasanton, we generally are available as needed.
3. Responsiveness
Generally, traffic engineering matters do not require immediate
response. Although we have improved on this matter in the past year,
we will continue to try to improve in this area.
4. Cost Effectiveness
During the. 12 calendar months of 1988, TJKM expended a total of
1,755.5 hours on Dublin projects and invoiced a total of $91,084.40.
Using the total billings and the total hours, the average hourly rate was
$51.89, slightly less than the previous $53.01 rate for the period January
1987 through March 1988. Of the total amount $51,730.79 (57 percent)
was for regular day to day traffic services; $16,086.56 (18 percent) was
for special city projects; $9,603.55 (10 percent) was for developer
funded studies and $13,663.70 (15 percent) was for design of capital
projects.
5. Program Development and Implementation
This item deals with timeliness and accuracy and would best be
addressed by the City Engineer and the City staff.
Proposal
TJKM proposes to continue offering services to the City of Dublin. If appropriate,
the contract term would be from July 1, 1989, to June 30, 1990. The proposed
hourly rates for 1989-90 are included on the attachment. The attachment indicates
the current rates as well as the proposed rates for the City of Dublin along with
the reduced rates. The proposed rates would apply to any capital improvement
project or project funded by private developers. The reduced rates would apply to
all other traffic engineering services provided by TJKM. Reduced rates are a
maximum of 80 percent of the proposed rates, rounded to the nearest dollar. The
proposed rates average a 3.2 percent increase over current rates.
Lee Thompson -3- April 4, 1989
TJKM requires no insurance subsidy from the City of Dublin. Our errors and
omission insurance limits are $500,000.
As to ways that traffic engineering services can be improved in the City of
Dublin, we feel there are some areas that could receive more traffic engineering
emphasis. Traffic signal timing, operation and special maintenance appears to
function on a basis in which incidents are responded to, rather than anticipated.
Traffic operations during street and utility construction 'and maintenance appears
to be receiving little attention at the present time either for work performed under
City contracts or for work of private contractors or utility company personnel. It
would appear that the City has some degree of liability exposure which could be
reduced. We made these same comments last year.
We also feel improvements could be made in coordination of capital projects in
which a traffic engineering review of preliminary and final plans from the
standpoint of signing, striping, geometry, construction signing and staging, and
electrical details should occur. We do not believe that the increased review of
either the private development or capital improvement projects would be either
expensive or time consuming but, could improve the final product.
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 valley, hopefully to the advantage of the City of Dublin. We appreciate the
City's flexibility in this area.
One final comment, as Dublin continues to grow and its traffic complexities
increase, it may be advantageous for the City to at least consider its own on-staff
traffic engineering personnel. While such a move would not be to TJKM's
advantage, it could be to the City's. An on-staff traffic engineer could be more
pro-active in seeking traffic improvements than an on-call consultant is able to be.
From a cost and work-load standpoint, this may not be the right time to make such
a move, but could be considered in the future.
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.
Among the possible offsetting advantages of consulting services provided by TJKM
are the availability of experienced senior personnel and a large group of traffic
engineers to handle peak loads.
Please contact me if there are questions on any of these matters.
