CITY COUNCIL AGENDA nff-EVIEJ ITEM NO. 13 MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL Public Works Department/Traffic Engineering CITY -WIDE SIGNAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ENGINEERING SERVICE AGREEMENT (C -2965) Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an Engineering Services Agreement with Meyer, Mohaddes Associates, Inc. DISCUSSION The Orange County Transportation Authority awarded the City $983,480 of Measure M monies to upgrade and coordinate signals throughout the City. The OCTA funding covers 80% of the estimated cost and the remainder is available in the current Gas Tax account. The project consists of four major components: * The first is to upgrade the Master Computer known as a VMS 330 located in the Traffic Engineering offices. This upgrade will expand the capacity of the computer to handle all of the intersections which will eventually be included on the system. It will also provide ?erect communications with other signal computers in Costa Mesa, Irvine and the. County so that signals may be coordinated along streets such as Irvine Avenue, Jamboree Road and MacArthur Boulevard which pass through multiple jurisdictions. A communications link will also be established with CALTRANS' Traffic Operations Center in Santa Ana so that we can interface with signals under their control. * The second component is upgrading the traffic signal controllers at ten locations. These controllers are either old and are having increasing maintenance costs or are of a type that is not compatible with the VMS 330. 1 of 3 (if) . 0 0 The third component is the installation of communications facilities between signal locations around the City. At this time it is expected that most of this will be done with underground wiring, but some may be done via microwave or other radio frequency techniques. A key aspect of this component is the anticipated use of the City's T -1 network to improve communications reliability and reduce ongoing operating costs associated with individual telephone services. " The final component is a review of the timing of intersections throughout the City to reduce motorist delay. This element will also examine what levels of traffic justify control by the VMS 330 as opposed to individual control at the intersection. Our VMS 330 is the first one ever delivered and needs to be upgraded and expanded to accommodate more intersections. The ability to not only control intersections but to monitor their operations has significantly enhanced staff's ability to respond to complaints about signal operation. The City received many requests from consultants wishing to be considered for the project. It is the largest signal project awarded by OCTA this year and attracted the attention of nearly every traffic engineering consultant. The consultant selection process conformed to California law requiring "qualifications based selection" (QBS). Each consultant was requested to submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) listing their relevant experience and information on key members of the firm that would be working on the project. Over twenty firms responded to this request. The firms were screened based upon the amount of recent experience that was similar to that required for the project. This resulted in a list of about a dozen firms. The references of these companies were checked and only those who received strong, positive references were selected to be interviewed. The interview panel consisted of the Traffic Engineer, an Associate Civil Engineer from Traffic Engineering and the City Traffic Engineer from Huntington Beach, Seven firms were invited for an interview and each was aliuwed time to make a presentation on their team and how they would proceed if they were selected. They were then asked a series of questions to explore their familiarity and expertise with the VMS 330 and related signal communications equipment. The result of this process was the selection of the firm of Meyer, Mohaddes Associates, Inc. as the most qualified to perform the engineering for the overall expansion of the VMS 330 and the citywide communications netvtork. They were also selected to prel.are :3ppr„ximately one -third of the construction drav rings. F lec.ision on which firm will completr, the -r st of th,3 drawings will be made once the communications network has been designed. Meyer, Mohaddes Associates, Inc. was selected because of their overall qualifications in signal systems and their recent projects for other cities with the same equipment as ours. They are also the consultant for the City of Mission Viejo, which is doing the same type of upgrade to their system. 2of3 • • • 0 0 The fees for their work are to be based upon a schedule of hourly rates plus fixed costs not to exceed $108,130.
