DATE: December 18, 2018
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jason Kruckeberg, Assistant City Manager/Development Services Director
Philip A. Wray, Deputy Director of Development Services/City Engineer
SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH WILLDAN FOR
ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE 2019 CITYWIDE TRAFFIC
COUNTS AND ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY IN THE
AMOUNT OF $23,956
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
The California Vehicle Code requires cities to conduct Engineering and Traffic (“E & T”)
Surveys every five (5) years to set prima facie speed limits on City streets. The current
E & T Survey establishing speed limits within the City of Arcadia is set to expire in
March 2019.
Requests for Proposals (“RFP”) were sent to three qualified firms to provide traffic
engineering services for the survey. The services include conducting radar surveys,
surveying roadway conditions, analyzing the radar data to establish the 85th percentile
for speeds, obtaining accident data, establishing accident rates, making final
recommendations on speed limits, and preparing the final report in a court-approved
format. The request also included conducting 24-hour traffic counts at 99 locations
Citywide.
Three proposals were received with Willdan being selected to perform the work. It is
recommended that the City Council approve, and authorize and direct the City Manager
to execute, a Professional Service Agreement with Willdan for engineering services for
the 2019 Citywide Traffic Counts and Engineering and Traffic survey in the amount of
$23,956, and approve a 10% contingency.

BACKGROUND
The purpose of the E & T Survey is to establish speed limits enforceable by radar on
City streets. The California Vehicle Code (“CVC”) governs the content and application
of the E & T Survey, and the Survey is good for five years. The current E & T Survey
for the City of Arcadia was adopted in March 2014 and will expire in March 2019.
The E & T Survey is defined in the CVC as a survey of highway and traffic conditions in
accordance with methods determined by the Department of Transportation (“CalTrans”)
for use by State and local authorities. The survey must include:
1. Prevailing speeds as determined by engineering measurements
2. Collision reports
3. Highway, traffic, and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver
Pursuant to the Caltrans Traffic Manual, speed limit recommendations are made based
on the 85th percentile of speed traveled on a given road segment for a survey sample of
approximately 100 vehicles. Speed limits were historically set at or below the 85th
percentile speed. However, more recent court rulings have required speed limits to be
set at or up to the next 5-mph increment above the 85th percentile speed. If a segment
has an unusually high (speed-related) accident rate or unusual roadside conditions, the
speed limit may be adjusted downward slightly. Speed Limit violations are often
challenged in court, and judges, in general, have been critical of the validity of many E &
T Surveys. Therefore, a highly conservative and statistically valid E & T Survey is
needed in order to prevail when challenged.
For Arcadia, E & T Surveys were historically performed by City staff, but for the last two
Surveys, in 2008 and 2014, the City retained the services of professional traffic
engineering firms for assistance. This has helped avoid the perception of a conflict of
interest with data gathering and analysis. The last two reports have been clear and
accurate, and defensible when challenged in court.
DISCUSSION
For the 2019 Survey, the City is again seeking the assistance of a professional traffic
engineering firm. An RFP was prepared to obtain 24-hour traffic counts at 99 locations
on various arterial and collector streets Citywide, and to perform an E & T Survey to
establish speed limits on portions of 38 arterial and collector streets . RFP’s were sent
to three firms qualified to perform these services. The three firms proposed as follows:
Willdan $23,956
KOA Corporation $42,060
Gibson Consulting Services $43,395

Willdan has provided exceptional traffic engineering services for the City for many
years. They are well qualified to perform E & T Surveys and performed Arcadia’s last E
& T Survey in 2014. Willdan’s cost is significantly lower than the other two for a few
reasons. They performed the last Survey for the City at a cost of $21,701 , and they
don’t anticipate much variation in the work effort for this update. They still have their
field reviews on file from the last Survey which will save them time in the review of each
location. Also, having prepared the last report, they know exactly what is necessary
and have the templates set up for displaying the data. Therefore, it is recommended
that the City Council enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Willdan for
traffic engineering services in the amount of $23,956.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the
environment. Thus, this matter is exempt under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
These services were budgeted in the 2018-19 Fiscal Year Capital Improvement
Program at $35,000. There are sufficient funds available for these professional services
bid at $23,956, including the requested 10% contingency if needed.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve, and authorize and direct the City
Manager to execute a Professional Service Agreement with Willdan for Engineering
Services for the 2019 Citywide Traffic Counts and Engineering and Traffic Survey in the
amount of $23,956, and approve a 10% contingency.
