ITEM EXPLANATION: On May 6, 2014, Council adopted Resolution No. 2014-079 which authorized staff to enter into a service agreement with Stack Traffic Consulting, Inc. This agreement. No. TRAN 1082, for Traffic Signal Program & Rail Operations Support was fully executed on May 7, 2014 in an amount not-to-exceed $200,000 per agreement year. Since that time, the Traffic Systems Operations Specialist position has been vacated thereby decreasing city resources during a time when the Desalination Project and other construction related traffic signal needs have increased significantly. This has resulted in a much greater need for program support services than originally anticipated. Work authorized to date under this agreement is near the full monetary limits of the agreement. In order to continue to manage our traffic signal systems in accordance with existing service level standards, additional funds must be available for this agreement. Staff recommends increasing the maximum compensation amount to $400,000. No additional appropriations are needed at this time since this agreement can be funded through salary savings. Actual costs should decrease proportionally once the TSOS position is filled. FISCAL IMPACT: Staff is requesting an increase in the amount of funds that can be spent under this agreement to $400,000. No additional appropriations are being requested at this time. This agreement is primarily funded through the Traffic Signal Maintenance & Operations budget. Regardless of the funding source, all payments are made accordance with the bid prices as set forth in the original agreement for the actual quanities of work performed.
