Wray, Deputy Director of Development Services/City Engineer SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH KREUZER CONSULTING GROUP FOR STREET PAVEMENT REHABILITATION AND RELATED DESIGN SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $189,990, INCLUDING A 10% CONTINGENCY Recommendation: Approve SUMMARY Engineering design services are needed to assist on three upcoming street improvement projects. The projects are: • Baldwin Avenue and Live Oak Avenue Arterial Concrete Pavement Rehabilitation • First Avenue and Santa Clara Street Area Asphalt Pavement Rehabilitation • Westbound Huntington Drive Sidewalk and Curb Ramp A Request-for-Proposals (“RFP”) for design services for the projects listed above was sent to three (3) qualified firms. Kreuzer Consulting Group (“KCG”) was the only firm that submitted a proposal. The other two firms did not submit proposals due to workload and schedule constraints. KCG’s proposal for the services is at a cost of $189,990. 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 $189,990 and approve a 10% contingency. BACKGROUND There are several major street improvement projects planned for the near future. In order to administer them in a timely manner, engineering design services are needed for three projects: the Baldwin Avenue and Live Oak Avenue Arterial Concrete Pavement Rehabilitation, the First Avenue and Santa Clara Street Area Asphalt Pavement Rehabilitation, and the Westbound Huntington Drive Sidewalk and Curb Ramp project. Each of these projects is described in detail below. Professional Services Agreement Kreuzer Consulting Group for Design Services July 20, 2021 Page 2 of 4 The Baldwin Avenue and Live Oak Avenue Arterial Concrete Pavement Rehabilitation project was budgeted in two parts. The Baldwin Avenue portion was budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2020-21 Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) and the Live Oak Avenue portion in the FY 2021-22 CIP. The project includes the following: • A full diamond grind and expansion joint sealing of the concrete pavement segments in the following locations: o Baldwin Avenue between Camino Real Avenue and Las Tunas Drive o Live Oak Avenue from Las Tunas Drive to Santa Anita Avenue o Live Oak Avenue intersection at Second Avenue • Removal and replacement of isolated concrete panels • Removal and replacement of damaged or uplifted sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and ADA ramps • Removal and replacement of existing vehicle induction loops and Sensys Networks detectors for lane by lane detection • Removal, and replacement of existing concrete driveways to meet ADA standards where possible within existing street right-of-way • Removal and replacement of a select few locations of damaged curb, gutter, and sidewalk along Baldwin Avenue between Huntington Drive and Camino Real Avenue The First Avenue and Santa Clara Street Area Asphalt Pavement Rehabilitation Project was budgeted in the FY 2021-22 CIP. After completion of the Gold Line Pedestrian Linkage Project, the streets in and around the boundaries of the project need to be rehabilitated to complete the improvements in the extended downtown area. This project includes the following: • A full grind & overlay of all pavement surfaces on the following segments: o First Avenue from Huntington Drive to Colorado Boulevard o Santa Clara Street from First Avenue to Fifth Avenue o St. Joseph Street from Flower Street to Second Avenue o La Porte Street from Santa Anita Avenue to Second Avenue o Flower Street from La Porte Street south to the bend • Full asphalt pavement thickness removal and replacement, where necessary • Removal and replacement of damaged or uplifted sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and ADA ramps • Removal and replacement of existing concrete driveways to meet ADA standards where possible within existing street right-of-way • Removal and replacement of trees and portions of landscaping and irrigation, as necessary • Removal and replacement of existing vehicle induction loop detectors for lane by lane detection Professional Services Agreement Kreuzer Consulting Group for Design Services July 20, 2021 Page 3 of 4 The Westbound Huntington Drive Sidewalk and Curb Ramp Project was budgeted in the FY 2021-22 CIP. This project will provide ADA access on the north side of Huntington Drive and will include the following work: • Install 6-foot wide sidewalk with ADA accessible curb ramp on the north side of Westbound Huntington Drive from Cortez Road to existing sidewalk at the former Union Bank site • Modify or relocate curb and gutter along Westbound Huntington Drive from Cortez Road to existing curb and gutter at easterly property line of the former Union Bank site • Relocate or adjust obstacles and utilities to grade • Remove trees, landscaping, and irrigation as necessary • Reconstruct the west corner of Cortez Road and Westbound Huntington Drive curb return with new radius (20’ minimum) and spandrel. DISCUSSION An RFP for design services for the above-described projects was sent to three (3) qualified firms: Kreuzer Consulting Group (“KCG”), KOA Corporation, and Kimley Horn & Associates (“KHA”). All firms are highly qualified and have previously provided engineering design services to the City. KCG was the only firm that submitted a proposal. KOA Corporation notified the City that they did not send a proposal due to their workload, and Kimley Horn & Associates was unable to submit a proposal due to scheduling conflicts. The RFP was structured to request separate fee proposals for the three projects because of the three separate project budgets. KCG’s proposal breakdown is as follows: FIRM Concrete Rehabilitation AC Rehabilitation Huntington Sidewalk TOTAL Kreuzer Consulting Group $82,540 $89,300 $18,150 $189,990 KCG has previously been chosen by the City for similar design work for the Live Oak Avenue Rehabilitation, Huntington Drive Rehabilitation, and Miscellaneous Arterial Street Rehabilitation projects. KCG’s previous cost proposals have been reasonable and competitive, and they have provided the City with an exceptional level of service and design. Their latest cost proposal was compared to previous design proposals based on total budget amount, extent and detail of the work, and number of design plan-sheets anticipated. The current proposal is proportionally equivalent and in line with past proposals and the City’s expectations and estimates. Based on KCG’s past project experience with the City, and their reasonable and competitive cost, it is recommended that they be awarded the project. Professional Services Agreement Kreuzer Consulting Group for Design Services July 20, 2021 Page 4 of 4 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Section 15061(b)(3) 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 Kreuzer Consulting Group proposes engineering design services for three projects at a total cost of $189,990. The three projects were budgeted as follows: PROJECT FUND AMOUNT KCG Proposal Baldwin Avenue and Live Oak Avenue Arterial Concrete Pavement Rehabilitation Prop C $1,100,000 $82,540 First Avenue and Santa Clara Street Area Asphalt Pavement Rehabilitation Prop C $800,000 $89,300 Westbound Huntington Drive Sidewalk and Curb Ramp TDA Article 3 $100,000 $18,150 TOTAL $2,000,000 $189,990 These three projects are funded entirely with road repair and improvement funds: Proposition C and TDA Article 3. The design costs, as proposed, represent approximately 9% of the total project budgets. Typically, 10% of a project’s budget is used for estimating design costs, so this proposal is reasonable and within the expected costs. There are sufficient funds available to cover the cost of these services. RECOMMENDATION 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 street pavement rehabilitation and related design services in the amount of $189,990 and approve a 10% contingency.
