H -2(i.) SUBJECT: CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR THE PREPARATION OF AN EIR FOR PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 79 -2 (CIRCULATION ELEMENT) RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a Consulting Services Agreement with VTN, Consolidated, Inc., for the preparation of an EIR for proposed General Plan Amendment 79 -2 (Circulation Element). DISCUSSION: The proposed General Plan Amendment 79 -2 (Circulation Element) will make the changes in the Master Plan of Streets and Highways shown on the attached project description. Items 1, 2, 5 thru 8, and 10 thru 13 are outside the City and are being made to show the roadway designations as adopted by the adjoining jurisdictions. Changes 3, 4, 9 and 15 are connecting links, all or partially within the City, which need to be shown (or deleted in the case of No. 15) to match adopted roadway designations from adjoining jurisdictions. These changes are considered to be of minor significance and are essentially housekeeping measures that require mention in an environmental document; or documentation that they have been covered in the environmental documents of other agencies. Item No. 14 moves the beginning of the Avocado Avenue /MacArthur Boulevard couplet to a point approximately 1600 feet northerly of San Joaquin Hills Road (Plan C -4). This change (approved by the Council on May 29, 1979) will place a road nearer to a residential area. To fully determine the effects of this change, it is necessary to perform preliminary engineering studies and an environmental review of the various available alternatives. At this time it appears that an EIR is warranted. The environmental document is being prepared in sufficient detail to serve as the environmental document for the future construction of the couplet northerly of San Joaquin Hills Road. Proposals were requested from five firms to perform the preliminary engineering and prepare the EIR. The services to be performed are shown on the attachment. The following three firms submitted proposals: VTN, Consolidated, Inc. Phillips Brandt Reddick Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates 40 ft November 12, 1979 Subject: Consulting Services Agreement for the Preparation of an EIR for Proposed General P1an.Amendment 79 -2 (Circulation Element) Page 2 All three firms are well qualified to perform the work. The proposal submitted by VTN, Consolidated, Inc. is the most acceptable and it is recom- mended that they be retained to do the studies. Their fee for the services is $27,040. This is broken down as follows: Preliminary Engineering and Traffic Analysis $12,500 Environmental Review 8,140 Project Management & Report Preparation 6,400 $27,040 The consulting services agreement provides for the fee not to exceed $27,040, with services to be paid for at standard hourly rates. The work is to be completed in seven weeks from the City's notice to proceed. This report is to be funded from the budgeted Gas Tax project for "Prepare environmental impact reports and preliminary plans for street construc- tion projects," Account No. 19- 3376 -001. Benjamin B. Nolan Public Works Director DW:jd Att. Addendum: In accordance with the Planning Commission's recommendation, VTN has been requested to utilize a traffic subconsultant other than BDI, Inc.

The environmental assessment on this item should be sufficient to allow the construction of the roadway improvements necessary to complete the couplet northerly of San Miguel Drive.

Provide 1" = 40' topo map of the area between San Miguel Drive extended and the point where Avocado Avenue would join MacArthur Boulevard northerly of San Joaquin Hills Road (approximately 1600'). The contour interval should be sufficient to calculate grading quantities and per- form hydrology and noise studies. City has available both 40 scale and 100 scale aerials of the area flown in 1976. These are only horizon- tally controlled. 2. Preliminary plan and profile of alternates (cover widths, grades, and right -of -way requirements). 3. Prepare cross sections as necessary to determine noise effects, grading and erosion control. 4. Provide intersection geometrics to show required lane configurations for the alternates. 5. Provide hydrology to determine effects of the various alternates on drainage in the area. 6. Provide I.C.U. analysis of the various intersection alternates. 7. Discuss the effect of the various alternates on the residual parcels. 8. Traffic volumes to be used in the study will be determined by City staff and the consultant using existing data.
