ITEM TITLE Resolution 9080 Awarding Contract to Conduct a Traffic
Control Devices Inventory and Recommended
Route to School Study
SUBMITTED BY Director of Public Works/City Engineer ~j~
ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES NO x )
The City of Chula Vista has received a grant from the Office of
Traffic Safety (OTS) to hire a consultant to conduct a Traffic
Control Devices Inventory (TCDI) and Recommended Route to School
Study. The amount of the grant is $30,000.
The City Council appropriated $30,000 on December 20, 1977 (Capital
Improvement Program Account OTS-Ol) to pay the consultant and to
which the City will be reimbursed from OTS.
In January, 1978, staff received proposals from the following firms:
Firm
Linscott, Law & Greenspan
JHK & Associates
Barton-Aschmann
George Nolte & Associates
Herman Kimmel & Associates
Location Cost
Irvine $ 8,200
Santa Ana $23,600
Pasadena $27,656
San Diego $29,400
Newport Beach $48,000
After reviewing the proposals, staff determined that Linscott, Law
and Greenspan had not properly evaluated the amount of work to be
done and they were eliminated from further consideration. The other
four firms were invited to discuss their proposals with staff. Staff
determined that the approach, amount of work to be completed and qual-
ifications of all four of the remaining consultants were similar and
therefore recommend the project be awarded to JHK & Associates, the
lowest cost acceptable proposal.
