ENG ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR REMAINING FISCAL YEAR 1984-85 CITY PROJECTS. DEPT. HD.^^P cSi/Pi:CITY ATTY Wr£> CITY MGR.^^n RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. f/'7' authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract for engineering services with Willdan Associates for various projects. 8 Occ CL 0. O Oz ITEM EXPLANATION; Only five Fiscal Year 84-85 Capital Improvement Projects remain which still have design work remaining to be done. An Engi- neering staff selection committee interviewed five consultants to select one with qualifications and sufficient staff to design the five remaining Fiscal Year 1984-85 Capital Improvement Projects as follows: 1. Holiday Park/Eureka Place Improvements 2. Harding Street Crossing Signal 3. El Camino Real Widening 4. Cynthia Lane Assessment District 5. Park Drive Assessment District The staff selection committee has reviewed the proposals and selected the firm of Willdan Assiciates for the design of the above projects because they were most responsive to the City's request and could do all projects in a timely manner. With these five projects under contract, all of the 1984-85 Capital Improvement Projects are in design, under construction or completed. Willdan Associates will begin work immediately and has suffi- cient staff to design all five projects concurrently. Design will take from 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 monts depending on the project. FISCAL IMPACT; Sufficient funds have been appropriated for each of the five projects and are available in the project accounts. The design of all five projects will be done for a fixed fee of $53,600.00. All necessary work to bring these projects to the point of construction (surveys, soils, reproduction, adminis- tration, assessment engineering, coordination meetings) will be accomplished by the consultant on a time and materials basis for a fee not to exceed $65,060.00. The total contract will not exceed $118,660.00 and may be less. OO Page 2 of Agenda Bill No. The consultant agreement has a fee for each item of work for each project. Billing will be made individually for each project and charged to that project account. All of the funds expended on the two assessment districts - Cynthia Lane and Park Drive - will be reimbursed by the property owners if the districts are successfully formed. Staff is in the process of hiring two more City inspectors and anticipates having sufficient inspectors to inspect these projects. In the event it is necessary to hire a consultant for this service, it would be done under a separate agreement. EXHIBITS; 1. Location Map. 2.
