RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No.(xaR l approving an agreement between the
City and SANDAG for Traffic Engineering Services.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The City, for the last several years, has provided its traffic
engineering services by means of a consultant contract. For the
last year and a half, this contract has been with SANDAG.
The contract calls for 12 hours per week of consultant time.
There have been some comments by developers that the consultant
is not always immediately available. The consultant is in the
office all day Monday and Friday morning. The City Engineer has
reviewed the consultant's workload which is currently not exces-
sive. His turnaround time in responding to most routine items
is one-half day or less. The biggest delay comes when a review
is requested on a Tuesday and the consultant is not available
until Friday.
The City Engineer . s discussed rearranging or adding working
hours with the consultant. Due to his other commitments, chang-
ing or adding hours would be difficult but possible, if necessary.
If development activity increases during the current fiscal year,
the City Engineer will request some additional time from the con-
sultant.
The Engineering Department has a Transportation position which is
not funded for the current fiscal year. The traffic engineering
workload will be monitored during the year and the use of a full-
time transportation engineer evaluated. A recommendation will be
made for consideration in the fiscal year 1983-84 budget.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The contract amount, with no extra time, is $13,634.00 based on
an hourly rate of $21.85 per hour. The hourly rate is up from
$19.00 last year, but is approximately half that of a private
consultant.
$15,000 has been budgeted for this service in Professional Services
Account Number 01-31-10-2470. In the event additional hours are
requested, additional funds may be transferred to this account from
salary savings.
