APPROVAL OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR

CITY TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SERVICES

 

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Request for Proposals and authorize Staff to solicit proposals.

Background:

The services of a consultant City Traffic Engineer are needed to augment the traffic engineering capacity of the Public Works Department. The City’s long time City Traffic Engineer has informed Staff that he is no longer able to provide service to the City because of a change in market niche for his services.

Analysis:

Staff has reviewed the level of traffic engineering services required for the City and Staff has evaluated the current staffing level of the department. As a result, Staff has determined that, in order to meet the required level of traffic engineering services for the City, the services of a Traffic Engineering Consultant are needed.

The service will include, but not be limited to, the following:

  1. Provide technical staff support for City Council, City Staff and Commissions at the request of the Public Works Director.
  2. Represent City at regional organization meetings at the request of the Director of Public Works.
  3. Respond to citizen input, i.e. questions, complaints and suggestions.
  4. Attend meetings of Council, Commission and Staff at the request of the Public Works Director.
  5. Prepare reports covering investigations of requests for traffic control devices, installation and/or modifications such as traffic signals, stop signs, parking regulations, speed zones, channelization, crosswalks, etc.
  6. Provide traffic engineering review for proposed City projects, development projects and special City events.
  7. Identify, review and develop recommendations for corrective measures for neighborhood streets experiencing unacceptably high volumes of traffic.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact at this time.
