Steven Kueny, City Manager Trammell Hartzog, President Attest: Maureen Benson, City Clerk Hartzog & Grabill Amendment No. 6 521 Exhibit I May 21,2015 C HARTZOG & G CRABILL,Inc. Mr.David Klotzle, P.E. City Engineer City of Moorpark Trammell Hartzog,President 799 Moorpark Avenue Jeny Crabill,P.E.,(Retired) Moorpark,CA 93021 Gerald J.Stock,P.E., Executive Vice President Subject: Proposal to Provide"Traffic Engineering Services for Traffic Signal Operations"in the City of Moorpark for FY 2015/16 17852 E. 17th Street Suite 101 Dear Mr.Klotzle: Tustin,CA 92780 Hartzog& Crabill, Inc. (HCI) is pleased to submit this proposal to continue Phone: (714)731-9455 FAX: (714)731-9498 providing professional traffic engineering services to the City of Moorpark for the monitoring of various traffic signals and maintenance of the traffic www.hartzogcrabill.com signal coordination system citywide. Our services include all tasks necessary to continuously monitor, troubleshoot, and efficiently report repairs on all traffic signals using the Aries/Econolite controllers in the City of Moorpark for this next contract term. Mr. Trammell Hartzog, our company president, will continue to serve as the Project Manager for this project and will be the primary contact between HCI and the City of Moorpark. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING The City of Moorpark has identified the need to retain the services of a qualified firm to provide certain traffic signal operations and maintenance support services. It is our understanding that the City desires and has requested this proposal to continue these support services to continuously manage traffic signal operations throughout the City. We understand that the City utilizes Econolite ASC/2 and ASC/3 controllers as their local traffic signal controllers,which are interconnected with master controllers. HCI is very familiar with this request since we continue to monitor and maintain many Southern California cities' traffic signal systems daily from our offices through the use of our own updated and licensed version of the Aries and Centracs Traffic Signal Management computer softwares. This system has proven to be an asset to many of our client cities as the continuous communication and monitoring proves to be a reliable means for more efficient signal maintenance, thereby minimizing traffic signal complaints. Consulting Traffic Engineers to Government Agencies 522 Mr. David Klotzle, P.E. May 21, 2015 Page 2 SCOPE AND SERVICES Our understanding of the City's traffic signal system is that the City maintains and operates (17) signalized intersections using Econolite controllers. The City contracts the traffic signal maintenance with Republic Electric. These signals are interconnected to master controllers by hardwire interconnect or telephone-drop, which are accessed off-site by telephone modems. Task I —Setup Communication Services As HCI has already setup the Scheduled Operations on the Aries program specifically for the City of Moorpark's system in order to automatically perform a variety of tasks (Task 2), HO does not require setup time and will continue to monitor the City's on-line traffic signal operations. Task 2—Monitor and Provide Maintenance Support HCI will continue to provide a Traffic Signal Systems Specialist for the monitoring and maintenance support on all City of Moorpark traffic signals. More specifically, the Aries functions and Specialist's time spent on these services will include performing the following daily sub-tasks: I. The Scheduled Operations will automatically gather and store historical data and real- time information on all City of Moorpark's traffic signal operations programmed in Aries; 2. This data is reviewed daily to verify that all traffic signals are in good working order; 3. Any malfunctions logged are immediately reported to the City's designated traffic signal maintenance contractor, for dispatch; 4. The historical data is also analyzed to identify traffic volumes and patterns in order to assist in determining if adjustments to signal timing is necessary; 5. HCI will also verify if all timing is programmed correctly in each master and controller. Task 3—Provide Traffic Signal Maintenance"Reporting" Services Regarding this task, HCI will include the following sub-tasks at our standard monthly fee in our "on-going"services agreement: 1. HCI staff will report all traffic signal problems and malfunctions to the City's traffic signal maintenance contractor within (24) hours; 2. HO staff will coordinate all work associated with the City's traffic signal maintenance contractor and also provide verification to the City of their completed work; 3. HCI will provide the City with a monthly report of problems addressed on their traffic signal equipment. 523 Mr. David Klotzle, P.E. May 21, 2015 Page 3 SCOPE AND SERVICES (continued) Task 4—Provide Traffic Engineering Coordination Services Regarding this task, HCI typically offers the following services to our client cities on a Time- and-Materials (T&M) basis in our"on-going" services agreement: 1. HCI staff will assist the City in resolving traffic signal control complaints by speaking by phone/email/in person with the resident(s)/contact person on their specific request/complaint; 2. HCI staff will complete the necessary investigation and make recommendations to the City on identified traffic signal improvements, such as any new coordinated signal control systems, more efficient signal phasing, equipment upgrade, significant timing adjustments, etc.; 3. HCI staff will drive each project arterial during peak-periods on a quarterly basis in order to verify coordination timing is working and also provide recommendations for any adjustments; 4. If necessary and approved by the City, HCI will collect/update traffic counts as part of our investigation; 5. Assist the City with any issues with their traffic signal maintenance contractor (i.e., review of invoices, change orders, agreements/contracts, bidding documents, etc.); 6. Provide bidding documents to City for project-specific signal improvements in order to expedite ordering of long lead-time equipment(such as poles or controller cabinets). 7. Provide traffic signal support during construction and final turn-on phases of the Spring Road Railroad Crossing Improvement project. TIME SCHEDULE HCI is available and ready to continue these traffic signal monitoring services, upon receipt of the City's notice-to-proceed. Upon the City's notification, we will immediately continue with the on- going daily monitoring on all on-line traffic signals. We will continue to evaluate the City's entire traffic signal system and, if necessary, make recommendations to the City on how to communicate with each of them more effectively. These services will be provided to the City to cover the annual period between July 1,2015 and June 30,2016. 524 Mr.David Klotzle, P.E. May 21,2015 Page 4 PROFESSIONAL FEES Since the City is operating many of their signals with Econolite controllers, HCI proposes our typical "on-going" traffic signal system daily monitoring services to the City of Moorpark. We will utilize our corresponding Aries Traffic Management System software to communicate with and provide the monitoring services on the City's on-line traffic signals, as detailed in our Scope of Services,to the City through June 30,2016,which are estimated at$18,000.00 per year. The figure above was calculated by estimating our Traffic Signal Systems Specialist continuing to work at the approximate average rate of (2.2) hours/week (approximately (8.7) hours/month), exclusively on the City of Moorpark's traffic signal system. The Specialist rate of$115.00/hr results in approximately$1,000.00/month,or$12,000.00 per 12-month period. In addition, the estimated fee to provide traffic signal support services for the completion of the Spring Road Railroad Crossing Improvement project is $6,000.00. As a result, the total estimated fee for performing the Traffic Engineering Services described herein for the period of July 1, 2015 through June 30,2016 is $18,000.00. Additional requested tasks, such as attendance at any City Council or staff meeting(s), or any activities outside the proposed Scope of Services, will be invoiced on a time-and-materials basis per our current fee schedule unless previous fee agreement is made with City staff. Invoicing for any additional work above-and-beyond what is detailed in our Scope of Work may typically include hours for a Principal, Senior and/or Associate Engineer, as well as the Traffic Signal Systems Specialist. For your reference, we have also attached our current Fee Schedule. Thank you again for the opportunity to continue serving your community and providing these traffic signal operations services. We look forward to working with you and your staff on this service. If you have any questions or need more information, please call me at(714)731-9455. Very truly yours, HARTZOG& CRABILL,INC.
