Wray, Deputy Director of Development Services/City Engineer SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH KREUZER CONSULTING GROUP FOR ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE LIVE OAK AVE AVENUE PAVEMENT REHABILITATION PROJECT AND THE EASTBOUND HUNTINGTON DRIVE SIDEWALK AND BUS STOP IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $111,800 Recommendation: Approve SUMMARY Engineering design services are needed to assist on the Live Oak Avenue Arterial Pavement Rehabilitation project from Santa Anita Avenue to the East City Limits and on the Eastbound Huntington Drive Sidewalk and Bus Stop Improvement project from Centennial Way to the hotel site north of the City-owned soccer field. A Request-for-Proposals (“RFP”) for design services for the projects was prepared and sent to four (4) qualified firms; however, only two firms responded. Upon review, Kreuzer Consulting Group (“KCG”) was selected to provide the services at a cost of $111,800. It is recommended that the City Council approve, and authorize and direct the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Kreuzer Consulting Group for design services in the amount of $111,800, and approve a 10% contingency. BACKGROUND There are several major street and parkway improvement projects planned in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”). In order to administer them in a timely manner, consultant services are needed to assist City staff. Two projects have been selected for engineering design assistance, the Arterial Pavement Rehabilitation of Live Oak Avenue from Santa Anita Avenue to the East City Limits, and the Sidewalk and Bus Stop Improvements on Eastbound Huntington Drive. Professional Services Agreement for Engineering Design Services with Kreuzer Consulting Group January 21, 2020 Page 2 of 4 The Live Oak Avenue Arterial Pavement Rehabilitation project from Santa Anita Avenue to the East City Limits, budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2019-20 CIP, will require engineering design services for the following elements: • A full grind and rubberized asphalt overlay of the pavement on Live Oak Avenue from Santa Anita Avenue to the East City Limits, including patches of full-depth asphalt removal and replacement, where necessary; • Installation of four (4) new traffic signal cabinets from Santa Anita Avenue to Sixth Avenue; • Additional minor traffic signal modifications; • Removal and replacement of damaged sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and ADA ramps; • Modification of existing concrete driveways to meet ADA standards where possible within the public right-of-way; and • Removal and replacement of street trees where they cause significant damage. The Eastbound Huntington Drive Sidewalk and Bus Stop Improvement project, budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2018-19 CIP, will require engineering design services for the following elements: • New sidewalk per City standard from Centennial Way to the northeast corner of the soccer field connecting to the new hotel site; • Determine the feasibility of relocating the bus stop on the northeast corner of Huntington Drive East and Centennial Way to in front of City Hall, or improve in- place; • Remove and replace curbs and gutters, as necessary; • Installation of ADA accessible ramps; and • Relocate conflicting utilities. The hotel project is required to construct sidewalk along the project frontage of Eastbound Huntington Drive. The City’s sidewalk project will be scheduled to coincide with the completion of the hotel’s portion to provide a continuous sidewalk from Centennial Way to Santa Clara Street. DISCUSSION A Request-for-Proposals (“RFP”) was prepared for the engineering design of the above- described projects. For the sidewalk project, services will include a conceptual design phase to evaluate the relocation of the bus stop as described above compared with improving it in its current location. Professional Services Agreement for Engineering Design Services with Kreuzer Consulting Group January 21, 2020 Page 3 of 4 The RFP was sent to four (4) qualified firms and two submitted proposals as follows: FIRM LIVE OAK DESIGN E/B HUNTINGTON SIDEWALK DESIGN TOTAL Kreuzer Consulting Group $82,310 $29,490 $111,800 KOA Corporation $153,635 Combined with the Live Oak Design Amount $153,635 The two other firms, DKS & Associates and Kimley Horn & Associates, did not respond to the RFP. The two proposals received were reviewed and rated based on criteria, including quality of the proposal, approach to the scope of work, specific experience with these types of projects, and the cost for services. Although both firms are well qualified, and both have performed well for the City on past projects, Kreuzer Consulting Group was selected based on its innovative proposal, which includes providing pavement core samples for a more refined pavement rehabilitation approach, and its lower cost. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The proposed action for the Professional Services Agreement 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 per Section 15061(b)(3). The environmental review for the project will occur in a later phase of the project after the design. FISCAL IMPACT Kreuzer Consulting Group proposes engineering design services for the two projects at a total cost of $111,800. The two projects were budgeted as follows: PROJECT FUND AMOUNT Live Oak Avenue Arterial Pavement Rehabilitation Prop C and Transportation Impact Fee $1,100,000 Huntington Drive East – Sidewalk and Bus Stop Capital Outlay $100,000 TOTAL $1,200,000 These two projects are funded almost entirely with road repair and traffic improvement funds such as Proposition C and Transportation Impact Fees funding. The only non- transportation-related funding is on the Huntington Drive East – Sidewalk and Bus Stop project, where $100,000 is budgeted from the Capital Outlay Fund for improvements Professional Services Agreement for Engineering Design Services with Kreuzer Consulting Group January 21, 2020 Page 4 of 4 such as sidewalk and bus stop improvements. The design cost, as proposed, represents approximately 9% of the total project budgets. Typically, 10% of the project budget is used for estimating design costs, so this proposal is reasonable. There are sufficient funds available to cover the cost of these services. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council determines that this action does not constitute a project and is therefore exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and approve, and authorize and direct the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Kreuzer Consulting Group for engineering design services for the Live Oak Avenue Pavement Rehabilitation Project, and the Eastbound Huntington Drive Sidewalk and Bus Stop Improvements in the amount of $111,800, and approve a 10% contingency.
