AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council �
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
DATE: February 25, 1999 (CC Meeting of March 17, 1999)
SUBJECT: Consider Selection of a Consultant to Prepare a City Wide
Traffic Speed Study
n «uvTVW
This presents a summary of the proposals received for the subject
study and requests approval of the selection of a consultant to
prepare a Traffic Speed Study.
BACKGROUND
Section 40802 of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) requires, as a
prerequisite to the enforcement of any speed law with radar, the
preparation of a traffic speed survey within the past five years.
The last citywide speed study was completed June 1994. Although
two supplemental studies were performed in 1995 and 1996 for
certain selected streets, it is recommended that the speed survey
required for the majority of the street segments in the City,
include all streets requiring a Speed survey for radar
enforcement. The street segments to be surveyed are listed in the
chart attached as Exhibit 'A'.
On February 2, 1994, staff distributed a Request for Proposal
(RFP) to qualified Traffic Engineering firms. The proposal
stipulates that the Speed Study will be performed in accordance
with the standards and requirements of the California Vehicle
Code and the California Department of Transportation Traffic
Manual.

B. Qualifications
Upon review of each proposal, background information,
qualifications and references, it has been determined that
both firms possess the proper engineering licenses and
experienced in performing traffic speed surveys and preparing
speed studies in a manner consistent with the requirements of
the standards mentioned in the RFP. Inquires made to previous
employers have been favorable.

Staff is recommending selection of Traffic Safety Engineers of
Orange, California. This firm has confirmed that the fees
quoted are correct and that they are prepared to proceed with
the requested services. The proposal also includes unit costs
