The budget for FY 2001-02 will include fimds for consultant services to cover expenses under this agreement. The majority of these expenses will be offset by revenues provided by private developers to conduct traffic impact studies of proposed developments, and by traffic impact fees paid by approved developments to design and construct mitigation-related capital improvement projects, such as traffic signal installations. A small portion of the expenses will be paid by the General Fund for traffic studies in relation to City projects. DESCRIPTION: Under the proposed Consulting Engineering Services Agreement with Kimley-Hom and Associates, Inc., this firm will provide general traffic engineering services to the City over a period of two years from July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2003, based on the consultant' s hourly rate schedule for FY 2001-02. The consultant will be allowed to request an adjustment of rates for the second year of the contract term; i.e., FY 2002-03. The type of services to be performed will include preparation of traffic signal design plans for CIP projects and traffic studies associated with development projects in eastern or downtown Dublin. Developers will pay the cost of the development project services. Kimley- Horn is also qualified to conduct general traffic engineering and transportation planning services, such as traffic safety studies, STOP sign warrant analyses, traffic handling plans, analyses of intersection level of service/capacity, etc. COPIES TO: Anush Nejad, Kimley-Horn ITEM NO. 44~ t~ G:\Engr-contract\Kimley-Horn\agstmnt 06 01.doc The City currently has ongoing agreements with three other consulting firms to provide the same type of services. However, the continued demand for new traffic studies of proposed developments and the limited ability of these three consultants to meet this demand on schedule requires adding a fourth consultant to the City' s list of contracted consultants. Kimley-Horn has been providing quality traffic engineering services to public agencies nationwide since 1967 and is well qualified to perform this type of services in Dublin. The proposed Engineering Operating Budget for FY 2001-02 includes funds for consultant services to cover expenses under the proposed agreement. Developers will reimburse the City for costs associated with traffic studies of proposed developments. In addition, traffic impact fees paid by approved developments will cover the costs to design and construct mitigation-related capital improvement projects, such as traffic signal installations. Under the proposed agreement, the consultant will be compensated for work performed at the hourly rates specified in the agreement for FY 2001-02, not to exceed an annual amount of $75,000 over the time period from July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2003. The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed agreement and provided input. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the proposed Consulting Engineering Services Agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for Fiscal Years 2001-02 and 2002-03, and authorize the Mayor to execute the Agreement.
