RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Fehr & Peers in an amount not to exceed $150,000 to provide on-call transportation engineering services for the period April 1, 2015 through April 1, 2018, Countywide. (Project No.: Various)

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Local Road and Transportation Funds.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the contract is not approved, necessary transportation projects may not be completed in a timely manner, which may jeopardize funding and delay design and construction of various road projects.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County Public Works Department (Public Works) builds and maintains road infrastructure in unincorporated Contra Costa County (County). The consultants will advise Transportation Engineering staff on appropriate transportation improvement measures and construction costs given a specific transportation issue on a roadway. Typical planning projects include, but are not limited to, traffic congestion relief, traffic lane reconfiguration, traffic safety improvement, pedestrian safety improvement, traffic calming improvements, traffic signal design, specifications and modifications, preparation of studies to update or establish a mitigation fee program, and preparation of studies and implementation of transportation demand management programs.

After a solicitation process, this firm was selected as one of five firms to provide on-call transportation engineering services and is pre-qualified so Public Works may solicit and contract with the firm for anticipated project-specific contracts to assist Public Works Transportation Engineering staff with completing transportation engineering tasks. On-call transportation engineering services contracts and the pre-qualified shortlist will be valid for three (3) years.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
