RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Consulting Services Agreement (contract) with Whitlock & Weinberger Transportation, Inc. d/b/a W-Trans, in an amount not to exceed $250,000, for the period September 20, 2022, through September 19, 2025, to provide on-call transportation engineering services, Countywide. (Project Nos. Various) (All Districts)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Work performed under this on-call contract will be funded by developer fees, local road funds for road projects, and various other funds.  










BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is involved in various projects in the County that require transportation engineering services for road projects. After a solicitation process, Whitlock & Weinberger Transportation, Inc. d/b/a W-Trans was selected as one of five firms to provide transportation engineering services on an “on-call” basis. The consultant will augment Public Works staff on an as-needed basis. They will be used as an extension to Public Works staff during busy times when extra help is needed or when in-house expertise is not available. This on-call contract will be in effect for thirty-six months.  
  
Government Code Section 31000 and 4525 authorizes the County to contract for services, including the type of transportation engineering services that Whitlock & Weinberger Transportation, Inc. d/b/a W-Trans provides.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval from the Board of Supervisors, there is possible delay in completing projects requiring transportation engineering services. Executing this contract will facilitate the process of design and planning for various Public Works projects requiring transportation engineering expertise.
