SUBJECT:

Awarding Professional Services Agreements for Traffic Engineering Consulting Services


SUMMARY:

An ordinance authorizing the negotiation and execution of three (3) On-Call Professional Services Agreements for City-wide traffic engineering consulting services with AC Group, LLC, Gonzalez + De La Garza & Associates, LLC and RJ Rivera Associates, Inc. each in an amount not to exceed $250,000.00 per year, for as-needed services to supplement City of San Antonio Traffic Engineering resources in connection with City-owned facilities and improvements, construction projects and emergency situations. Each agreement is for a term of one year, with an option to renew for two (2) additional one (1) year periods at the City's discretion, as approved by the Director of Transportation and Capital Improvements (TCI), for a possible maximum total contract amount not to exceed $750,000.00.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Currently, the Transportation and Capital Improvement Department (TCI) contracts with three consultants to provide on-call traffic engineering consulting services for the City. The current consultants are Pape-Dawson, GKW, and LAN. These consultants are used on an as-needed basis on City projects, in connection with City capital improvements and transportation related projects. The contracts with these firms expire in October 19, 2014. Due to the high volume of requests for traffic-related studies, investigations and remediation plans, as well as the limited resources of the Transportation Planning Division, these agreements will continue to allow the City to utilize the services of consultants immediately at the City's discretion.
