Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Supplemental Contract No. 1 with HDR Engineering, Inc. for the 2015-2017 On-Call Traffic Operations Engineering Services Work Authorization.
Body
This Work Authorization contract for traffic operations engineering services will allow the Transportation Department staff to quickly assign work to HDR for small to moderate traffic studies and design projects. This Work Authorization contract supplemental is for an additional two-year period and has a not to exceed total of $100,000.00. Examples of tasks that might be expected under the individual work authorizations include: coordinated signal timing plan development, review of active signal timing plans, responding to community questions related to signal operation, signal improvement design, traffic data collection and analysis, and signing and marking plans development. There are many instances in which the Transportation Department is asked to provide specific traffic data and/or implement "fixes" relative to economic development, safety concerns, and questions raised by community members. Many times we cannot respond quickly enough, due to staffing constraints. Having this contract in place with HDR will allow us to react to those issues and request more effectively.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval.
